## Description

desertcart.com: Tamil: A Biography: 9780674059924: Shulman, David: Books

Review: that is pretty much unknown to most of us - This remarkable book opens up for us a world, the religion and literature of southern India, that is pretty much unknown to most of us. There is fascinating interplay between the languages of this region and the Sanscrit language of northern India, the dominant cultural form. Tamil is utterly alien to Sanscrit, but both coexist and influence each other in the region. The wonderful poetry, much of it erotic, is beautifully translated and explicated by the author.
Review: Great Tamil Language Review - All good!
