Shakuntala Recognized: A Sanskrit Play by Kalidasa

Shakuntala Recognized is a translation of the Sanskrit play Abhijyanashakuntalam by the great poet and playwright Kalidasa. As a poet of mellifluous charm and as a master of Simile he indulged in Sringara Rasa (Eros)--the sensuous aspects of human condition. This play is perhaps his most powerful expression of that sensuality. Extolled by Goethe and German Romanticists and others the play uniquely weaves a magical fabric of life with the threads of human frailties and tragedies.
