The Cilappatikaram of Ilanko Atikal: An Epic of South India (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780231078498)

Literary studies of India's epic traditions have long focused on the Sanskrit classics, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, thereby excluding works in Tamil. Now, the eminent poet R. Parthasarathy offers a memorable verse translation of the renowned Tamil poem the Cilappatikaram, or The Tale of the Anklet, one of the world's masterpieces and India's finest epic in a language other than Sanskrit.
