内容説明・目次

内容説明

The Adventures of Hir and Ranjha, the immortal love story, is regarded as a classic of Punjabi literature. It speaks of the unbounded love that two souls have for each other, how they defy the taboos of their society, face the vicissitudes of fortune and yet remain true to each other. But they are also star-crossed lovers and ultimately united only in death. More than the story, it is the presentation of Waris that has immortalised the romance in the classical literature of India. The tragic love story of Hir and Ranjha has been a favourite theme with poets and writers for centuries. It was a well-known story that existed long before Waris Shah penned it down (around 1766) in the same way as the Faust legend existed long before Goethe.
