The world in which the tales are set is one which placed a premium upon slickness and guile as aids to success. . . . Merchants, aristocrats, Brahmins, thieves and courtesans mingle with vampires, demi-gods and the hierarchy of heaven in a series of lively or passionate adventures. The sources of the individual stories are clearly indicated; the whole treatment is scholarly without being arid.\"-The Times Literary Supplement\"Fourteen tales from India, newly translated with a terse and vibrant effectiveness. These tales will appeal to any reader who enjoys action, suspense, characterization, and suspension of disbelief in the supernatural.\"-The Personalist\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51678259282208,"sku":"NEW0226846474","price":37.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/616QoN75c-L.jpg?v=1779307821","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/tales-of-ancient-india-phoenix-books-0226846474","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
