The Elephant - Lore of The Hindus

Spisovatel: Edgerton F., Motilal Banarsidass 1985
Katalogové číslo: F4564

This book is intended to serve as an introduction to the elephant-lore of Hindus. It consists primarily of a translation of the "Elephant-Sport" (Matanga-Lila) of Nilakantha, with notes, introduction, and glossary. The Matanga-Lila is without doubt the best available Sanskrit work on elephantology. It is a brief and succinct treatise in 263 stanzas, divided into twelve chapters of uneven length. Nothing is known of the Nilakantha who is mentioned as its author. According to the editor, Ganapati Sastri, the three manuscripts he used are about two hundred years old. But the work is probably very much older. For aught we know it may go back a thousand years or even to a much earlier date. This, however, is purely conjectural; all we can say is that there is no positive trace of modernity in the work. The elephant-lore of our text is based on a genuine traditional knowledge which grew up among those whose business it was to deal with elephants, and that this tradition has persisted to modern times.... v angličine, tvrdá väzba, 129 strán,menší formát

Fiji Celebration

Spisovatel: Siers James, Milwood press 1985
Katalogové číslo: O1127

"This album of Fiji is a photographic and text tour of the islands as seen by James Siers after more than 20 years of close association. The photos reflect everything that Siers finds attractive about the country and its people, while the text shows some of his pre-occupation with Fiji's past. James Siers has earned a well-deserved reputation for his work in the Pacific, having produced pictorial books on New Zealand, Hawaii, Samoa, Tonga, Rarotonga, Moorea, Tahiti and Papua New Guinea. This is his fourth book on Fiji. Earlier this year saw the publication of his The Fiji Experience, a 144-page color pictorial guide book... v angličtine, obal, tvrdá väzba, väčší formát, 165 strán
