Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina

Tshe Ring Dbang Rgyal lived from 1697 to 1763 and held many important government posts in Tibet, including that of prime minister. He wrote several books of history and biography and was a leading man of letters.

Beth Newman has a doctorate in South Asian Languages and Literature from the University of Wisconsin – Madison. She has studied Buddhism and Tibetan language and culture for the past twenty years. She lives in Sarasota, Florida.

“'The Tale of the Incomparable Prince' disarms modern readers with plenty of romance, lust, intrigue and [and] timeless psychological insight…[Kumaradvitiya’s] adventures lure us with their sophisticated prose and powerful verse. Westerners with an interest in Buddhism will find it fascinating to read a novel that incorporates this religious worldview. But anyone with an interest in literature will recognise 'The Tale of the Incomparable Prince ' as a classic story.”
NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

“[Beth Newman] has reclaimed an exotic gem of world literature with this sparkling translation of a Tibetan novel.”
