Description
Sacontala or The Fatal Ring: An Indian Drama is a play written by Kalidasa, a renowned Indian poet and playwright. The story is based on an ancient Indian legend about a beautiful and virtuous woman named Sacontala, who falls in love with a king named Dushyanta. The play explores themes such as love, duty, honor, and the consequences of one's actions.Sacontala is raised by a hermit in a forest, and one day she meets Dushyanta, who is hunting in the same forest. They fall in love and exchange vows of marriage, but Dushyanta is called away to attend to his duties as a king before they can complete the ceremony. Sacontala waits for him, but when she goes to the palace to claim her rightful place as queen, Dushyanta does not recognize her. Heartbroken, Sacontala returns to the forest and gives birth to a son, but fate intervenes when Dushyanta is reminded of his love for Sacontala and seeks to find her again.The play is known for its lyrical language, vivid imagery, and the complexity of its characters. Sacontala is portrayed as a strong and virtuous woman who is willing to sacrifice her own happiness for the sake of her duty and honor. Dushyanta, on the other hand, is a flawed character whose actions have consequences that he must face.Sacontala or The Fatal Ring: An Indian Drama is a timeless classic that has been translated into many languages and continues to be performed and studied today. It is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
