### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Tamil
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 2, 2013*

Interesting. I think if I were to read through more of this, or even just read it all, with an in class situation instead of an online class I would have enjoyed it better. In class would have made discussion better; quicker responses and interaction more appealing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Beautiful but hard to find poems
  

*by K***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 6, 2014*

The translations are wonderful. Evocative and accessible. The source material is hard to find in English, and the translator did a noble job of being true to the originals and still making them feel like poems.

### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars
