About the Book
This English translation of a classical Tamil Cankam text is a rare and valuable resource for beginners and foreign students of Tamil literature. The translation was done by a Tamil scholar who worked at the Indology Department of the French Institute of Pondicherry from 1962 to 1967. A true expert of Tamil, the author does not shy away from the obscurities in the original text but instead offers new readings and original suggestions, shedding light on the complexities of the language and the depth of the poems.
In addition to the linguistic translation, the author’s notes express his musical fervor and deep empathy for the region of Tanjavur, which he links to certain poems in the text. This work offers an accessible and insightful introduction to Tamil literature, especially for those new to the subject or interested in Tamil culture and poetry.
