The Buffalo Century : Vanchesvara Diksita’s Mahisasatakam: A Political Satire for All Centuries Hardback
by Kesavan (Institute for the Study of the Heritage of Coastal Kerala, India) Veluthat
Hardback
Description
The Buffalo Century is a keen exploration of satire and its role in society and politics.
Written in praise of a buffalo, Vañchesvara Dik?ita’s Mahi?asatakam is timeless in its treatment of power, and its subversion.
In resurrecting eighteenth-century Tanjore for the modern reader, Kesavan Veluthat lifts the poem beyond its immediate literary context and situates it in a contemporary global political setting.
Presenting a modern English translation along with the Sanskrit text, this work provides a fare that is as rich in double entendre as it is in its onomatopoeic metaphors.
A literary triumph and the voice of an age, this book will be a key text for students and scholars of history, political science, sociology, literature, especially Sanskrit and comparative, and cultural studies.
