The Clever Adulteress: A Treasury of Jaina Literature
The stories in this Clever Adulteress collection span almost one thousand years of
story-telling in India. Most originate in North India and all were written
by Jain monks for the edification and amusement of the faithful. The
treasures of India's heritage of story-telling are known to us today mainly
from these Jain stories which have been carefully preserved through the
years. The Stories in The Clever Adulteress have been translated by a
renowned group of scholars from India, North America and Europe. Each
translator has chosen his or her favorites from the vast treasures of Jain
literature.
