Présentation Vikram And The Vampire Format Broché
- Livre Littérature Générale
Résumé :
Baital Pachisi, also known as Vikram-Betaal, is a collection of Hindu tales featuring King Vikramaditya as the hero. Eleven of these tales were adapted from Sanskrit to English by Richard F. Burton as Vikram and the Vampire. A tantric yogi is after King Vikram?s life because of the wrongdoings of his father. He fools the brave king into bringing him Baital (a vampire) hanging from a siras tree. Baital, in turn, traps the king in an endless loop of stories. If King Vikram answers any question posed by the vampire during his storytelling, the vampire will escape back to the tree, and the king will have to start again. Will King Vikram be able to escape Baital?s trap? What doom awaits the king when finally meets his nemesis?

Sommaire:
Vikram and the Vampire is a collection of ancient Indian tales adapted by Sir Richard F. Burton. The narrative centers around the legendary King Vikramaditya, known for his valor and wisdom. The introduction sets the stage by detailing Vikram's rise to power after the death of his father, Gandharba-Sena. Vikram, after overthrowing his elder brother, becomes the ruler of Ujjayani and establishes a prosperous reign. The tales are framed within a larger story where Vikram is tasked with capturing a vampire spirit, known as a Baital, which inhabits corpses and tells stories. Each story presented by the Baital poses a moral or philosophical dilemma, challenging Vikram's judgment and wisdom. The tales explore themes of love, betrayal, justice, and the supernatural, reflecting the rich tapestry of Hindu mythology and folklore. The narrative is interwoven with elements of magic, divine intervention, and moral lessons, making it a quintessential example of Eastern storytelling. Burton's adaptation retains the essence of the original Sanskrit texts while making them accessible to a Western audience, highlighting the universality of the themes and the timeless nature of the stories....
