Product Description
'This riddle can end in two ways: speech and defeat or silence and death.'
Vetaal and Vikram is a playful retelling of one of India's most celebrated cycles of stories. The narrative of King Vikram and the Vetaal is located within the Kathasaritsagara an eleventh-century Sanskrit text. The Vetaal who is neither living nor dead is a consummate storyteller and Vikram is a listener who can neither speak nor stay silent. Together they are destined to walk a labyrinth of stories in the course of a moonless night in a cremation ground.
In 1870 eleven of the Vetaal's stories were adapted to English by the famed scholar-explorer Richard Francis Burton who tailored them to his audience's gothic taste. Vetaal and Vikram is a contemporary response that includes Burton within its storytelling folds.
Fantastical and delightful this retelling dissolves the lines between speaker and listener desire and duty life and death.
