Stories Behind Verses

By Dr. Ganesh R and Shatavadhani R. Ganesh

Stories Behind Verses is a remarkable collection of over a hundred anecdotes, each of which captures a story behind the composition of a Sanskrit verse. Collected over several years from various sources with tireless effort by Shatavadhani Dr. R Ganesh, these stories took the shape of the Kannada book Kavitegondu Kathe.When this was published in 1996, it was the first of its kind. It gained wide popularity among the critics and the laity not only for its riveting episodes but also for its mellifluous writing.This book is an English adaptation of Kavitegondu Kathe by Arjun and Shashi, who have captured the original in both letter and spirit. Witty, romantic, melancholic, provocative, poignant, and profound by turns, Stories Behind Verses will tug at your tendermost strings of feelings and stir your emotions.
