Classical Tamil Love Poetry: Ainkurunuru or Five Hundred Short Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781482801200)

Ainkurunuru is a collection of five hundred poems written by five different poets who lived two thousand years before. It tells you the story of the lovers, their sadness, joy, jealousies, and quarrels in verses of breathtaking sophistication and indirection. It is about the art and life of a people almost irretrievably lost, found in palm script, and restored by scholars in love with the Tamil language.
