Apart from the classical Indian jātaka, many others in Southeast Asia were assembled in collections known as the \"Fifty Jātaka\" (Pa髑āsa Jātaka). They are now acclaimed as the lifeblood of the region's literature. This book offers the first published English translations of twenty-one stories from the Thailand collection, including some of the best-known Thai stories: Sudhana-Manoharā, the Golden Conch, and Rathasena, among other quests, moral tales, strings of riddles, and story cycles. Here the tales are translated fully and faithfully with notes and accompanying information on the Thailand collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Baker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 6162151271\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9786162151279\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Chris Baker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941256495359,"sku":"9786162151279","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ec5076e3-ad12-4acf-a1fa-0df53cfb8c15.jpg?v=1681451846","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-the-fifty-jtaka-chris-baker-9786162151279","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
