Ancient Ballads and Legends of Hindustan
by Toru Dutt
'Ancient Ballads and Legends of Hindustan' Summary
Toru Dutt's Ancient Ballads and Legends of Hindustan is a collection of poems that draw on the rich tapestry of Indian folklore and mythology. The first part of the collection features long poems that retell ancient legends from India, such as the story of Savitri and Satyavan, the tale of Nala and Damayanti, and the legend of King Bharata. These poems are written in a flowing, lyrical style, and they vividly capture the beauty and wisdom of India's ancient stories. The second part of the collection contains a variety of miscellaneous poems, including poems about Dutt's travels in Europe, her love of nature, and her personal experiences and emotions. These poems are more varied in style than the long poems in the first part of the collection, but they are all marked by Dutt's keen eye for detail, her vivid imagination, and her deep love for her homeland.Book Details
