This fine selection of stories revolves around the concept of renunciation, the essence of Jainism. The translations, drawn from texts dating between the seventh and fifteenth centuries C.E., represent a variety of genres: didactic tales, the epics, spiritual autobiographies, pilgrimage texts and folktales. Phyllis Granoff's authentic, modern and reader-friendly rendering from the Sanskrit and Prakrit makes this a rich and remarkable narrative of living Jainism and its literary traditions.
