{"product_id":"the-clay-sanskrit-library-plays-8-volume-set","title":"The Clay Sanskrit Library: Plays – 8–volume Set","description":"This set of plays provides an array of Sanskrit drama and satire, with plots that vary from the \"strikingly Shakespearian\" (as H. H. Wilson described it ) \"Little Clay Cart\" to a dramatization of and amendment to the \"Ramáyana\" in \"Rama's Last Act.\" In addition to its scope of genre, the set covers a large period of time (the \"Three Satires\" by Bhállata, Ksheméndra, and Nila·kan alone were written over a period of nearly a thousand years) and also includes several works traditionally given less modern attention, such as \"Málavika and Agni·mitra\" by Kali·dasa, in order to provide a multifaceted view of Sankskrit theater.  Included in this set: \"The Lady of the Jewel Necklace\" \u0026amp; \"The Lady who Shows her Love\"  By Harsha.
