Great classic

This classic of Sanskrit theater also influenced a number of Western authors (most notably Goethe). When you read it, you'll understand why. It is sweeping in scope, never lacking in poetic language, and introduces some very memorable characters. This is a must read for anyone interested in the history of drama.
