Books Descriptions
Kalidasa was the most accomplished poet and playwright in classical Sanskrit
literature. This collection features his best-known work: the great poem Meghadutam
(The Cloud Messenger), a haunting depiction of longing and separation; the play
Sakuntala, which describes the troubled love between a Lady of Nature and King
Duhsanta; and the poem Rtusamharam (The Gathering of the Seasons), an exuberant
observation of the sheer variety of the natural world as it teems with the energies of
the great god Siva.
