Tales from the Kathasaritsagara

The Kathasaritsagara is a combination of simultaneously innocent and sophisticated folk stories bringing forth both common sense and highly sophisticated Sanskrit writing. It paints a vivid picture of a most particular part of India at one moment in history, and yet it tells stories that are the Indian variants often the Indian sources of stories told around the world. Arisha Sattars translations bring these stories to life in a modern way, while retaining their ancient meanings.
