Beschreibung

Sir Edwin Arnold's 1861 English translation the Sanskrit Hitopade¿a. Hitopadesha is an Indian text in the Sanskrit language consisting of fables with both animal and human characters. It incorporates maxims, worldly wisdom and advice on political affairs in simple, elegant language. The surviving text is believed to be from the 12th-century, but was probably composed by Narayana between 800 and 950 CE. The oldest manuscript found in Nepal has been dated to the 14th century, and its content and style has been traced to the ancient Sanskrit treatises called the Panchatantra from much earlier.

Über den/die AutorIn

Sir. Edwin Arnold (10 June 1832 - 24 March 1904), was born in the United Kingdom. He was a journalist and poet, most popular as the writer of The Light of Asia (1879), which describes the life and lessons of Buddha. Pearls of the Faith (1883), on Islam, and The Light of the World (1891), on Christianity, got less success. After leaving the University of Oxford, Arnold became a schoolteacher in Birmingham, and later became principal of the British government college in Pune, India. He came back to Britain in 1861 to join the staff of the Daily Telegraph, where he worked as a chief editor from 1873 to 1889. He published various volumes of short poems, as well as translations of the Indian section and a good deal of travel composition. The essays collected in Japonica (1892) were a popular contribution to the late nineteenth-century (cult of Japan) in Britain, similar to his variations of Japanese poetry in The Tenth Muse (1895) and his Japanese play Adzuma (1893). He was knighted in 1888.
