Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Group of Eastern Romances and Stories: From the Persian, Tamil, and Urdu, With Introduction, Notes, and Appendix It has been justly remarked that "the literature of a nation furnishes the best guide to researches into its character, manners and opinions, and no department of literature contains a more ample store of data in this respect that the light and popular part consisting of tales, romances, and dramatic pieces." The lighter literature of medieval Europe affords us an insight into customs, manners, and superstitions which have long passed away; but in "the unchanging East" the literature of the Asiatic races, produced at the same period, continues to reflect the sentiments and habits of the Hindus, Buddhists, and Muslims at the present day. For among Asiatics belief in astrology, magic, divination, good and bad omens, and evil spirits (rakshasas, divs, jinn, etc.) who are ever eager to injure human beings is still as prevalent as when the oldest of their popular tales and romances were first written.
