'To readKais to experience a giddy invasion of stories - brilliant, enigmatic, troubling, outrageous, erotic, beautiful'The New York Times

'Who?' - or 'ka'- is the question that runs through Roberto Calasso's retelling of the stories of the minds and gods of India; the primordial question that continues to haunt human existence. From theRigvedato theUpanishads, theMahabharatato the life of Buddha, this book delves into the corpus of classical Sanskrit literature to re-imagine the ancient Indian myths and how they resonate through space and time.

Recenzii

If you want a dazzling, complex, erotic and utterly original European novel of ideas, Calasso is your man, andKahis masterpiece
To readKais to experience a giddy invasion of stories - brilliant, enigmatic, troubling, outrageous, erotic, beautiful ... these stories are superbly narrated
Passage[s] of such ecstatic insight and cross-cultural synthesis-simply, of such beauty
The very best book about Hindu mythology that anyone has ever written ... A magnificent reading of Hindu texts. Its power arises in part through strong, vivid writing and in part through stunning, unexpected metaphors
Magnificent ... A moving, exhilarating, extraordinary book ... An astonishing synthesis of myths and legends, philosophical inquiry, and speculative narrative
A scintillatingly challenging book ... Its opening sentences are as startling as any in all of literature
All is spectacle and delight, and tiny mirrors reflecting human foibles are set into the weave, turning this retelling into the stuff of literature ... Calasso's erudition and his capacity for invention appear to be limitless
