Excerpt from The Ocean of Story, Vol. 2 of 10: Being C. H. Tawney's Translation of Somadeva's Kathā Sarit Sāgara (or Ocean of Streams of Story) Subscribers will be pleased to hear that great progress is being made with the subsequent volumes. Volume III is now in the press and Volume IV is well in hand. It remains but to acknowledge the kind help I have received from so many quarters. To Sir George Grierson is due special thanks for his most interesting and relevant Foreword. I was particularly gratified when Sir George so kindly consented to write this, as I know how pleased Mr Tawney would have been to have seen the name of his old friend connected with the present edition of his magnum opus. Dr L. D. Barnett has again read through all my proofs, and has not only given me the advantage of his inexhaustible store of Sanskrit knowledge, but has translated afresh those passages which needed revision, owing either to improved readings in the D. Text or to omissions made by Mr Tawney himself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Ocean of Story, Vol. 2 of 10: Being C. H. Tawney's Translation of Katha Sarit Katha (or Ocean of Streams of Story), Now Edited With Introduction, Fresh, Explanatory Notes and Terminal Essay It is a source of great pleasure to me that, by being invited to write the Foreword to this volume, I have been given an opportunity of paying tribute to the memory of an old friend and a great scholar. If, here, I confine myself to the latter aspect of his character, it is at the same time impossible to abstain from associating with it recollections of a cordial friendship extending over more than forty years. It was in Calcutta, in 1880, that I first met Charles Henry Tawney, who was then Principal of the Sanskrit College and had already achieved a high reputation for Sanskrit learning. A warm friendship, fostered on both sides by similarity of tastes, and on my part by his ever-ready kindness and help, then sprang up, and continued unchecked from that time till his lamented death two years ago in Camberley. A master of the Sanskrit language, and widely read in other branches of knowledge, he was an ideal translator of Somadeva's famous work, into the spirit of which he readily allowed himself to enter. The Attic salt of his fancy - a perpetual source of joy to those who were intimate with him - enabled him to reproduce the dry humour of the Sanskrit author in a sympathetic phraseology that few could equal. Whether it was such sophisms as those with which Yaugandharayana won over the simple straightforward soldier, Rumanvat, or such mock solemnity as that with which he tells the exploits of the two scapegrace rogues, Siva and Madhava, in this translation we seem to hear the original author's very voice. But it was not only as a capable translator that Tawney shone. A remarkably wide range of reading enabled him to adorn his work with numerous parallels taken from the legends of other countries, and that at a time when little had been done in the scientific examination of folk-lore.

The name of Soma·deva's eleventh-century Ocean of the Rivers of Stories is no boast: in more than 20,000 verses it tells more than 250 tales. The reader has only to enjoy being swept away in the flood of stories, said to spring from that source of so much classical Indian literature, "The Long Story"--Publisher description.
