New Publication on CrossAsia-eBooks: Übersetzung als kultureller Transfer
CrossAsia-eBooks, the Open Access publication platform for Asian studies, is pleased to announce a new publication: There exist many tales about the Indian king Vikrama in different Indian languages. Persian versions emerged during the 16th century, when the Persian language was one of the many literary languages and also functioned as administrative language in India. In her study Übersetzung als kultureller Transfer: Eine Untersuchung persischer Versionen des indischen Vikrama-Erzählzyklus (URL) Anna Martin, postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of Iranian Studies at the University of Marburg,  examines a 17th century Persian adaptation of the Vikrama story called the Kisanbilas („Kisan’s dalliance“) by an author named Kisandas.

The book can be read and downloaded as a whole or in individual chapters on the CrossAsia-eBooks website. In addition it can also be purchased as a hard cover edition at local bookstores or Amazon.de.
