STORIES OF VIKRAM VETAL (PB)
India is a land of enchanting mysterious tales. This land had been ruled by many kings whose lives still remained to be mysterious, but their stories have earned immortality. The stories of Vikramaditya, a benevolent Indian ruler, are such mysterious ones. Tales of Vikram and Vetal have fascinated readers all over the world. These stories take the readers into the realm of fairies and ghosts, queens and kings, princes and princesses, braves and cowards, rich and poor, wise and fools, and also the common simpletons. The tales reflect judgments on morality, sacrifice, loyalty and love. This book is a collection of selected stories from the varied Vikram-Vetal encounters. The stories are written in simple and easy to understand language and carry colorful illustrations. We hope that readers would benefit from the judgment skills of Vikramaditya as depicted in these stories.
‘If you know the answer and do not respond, your head will shatter into pieces!’ In a land of glorious kings, bloodthirsty demons and talking spirits, was born the lore of Vikram and the Vetal. After a series of mysterious events, King Vikramaditya carries the vetal, a witty ghost, on a long journey through death's playground. The vetal narrates the most fascinating tales and asks the most puzzling riddles, leaving Vikram completely stumped. Deepa Agarwal's beautiful translation brings age-old wisdom alive through the vetal's wondrous stories that are bound to confound and captivate readers even today.
Adaptation of Vālmīki's Rāmāyaṇa; for children.
The vetal spins tale after magical tale of kings, queens, demons and enchanted lands, but the question he poses at the end of each story forced King Vikram into an unforeseen dilemma. Enjoy these delightful stories and discover how the noble King Vikram overcomes his trials.
'This riddle can end in two ways: speech and defeat, or silence and death.' Vetaal and Vikram is a playful retelling of one of India's most celebrated cycles of stories. The narrative of King Vikram and the Vetaal is located within the Kathasaritsagara, an eleventh-century Sanskrit text. The Vetaal who is neither living nor dead is a consummate storyteller, and Vikram is a listener who can neither speak nor stay silent. Together they are destined to walk a labyrinth of stories in the course of a moonless night in a cremation ground. In 1870, eleven of the Vetaal's stories were adapted to English by the famed scholar-explorer Richard Francis Burton who tailored them to his audience's gothic taste. Vetaal and Vikram is a contemporary response that includes Burton within its storytelling folds. Fantastical and delightful, this retelling dissolves the lines between speaker and listener, desire and duty, life and death.
