Variegated violence and sorcery figure in their exploits, but love affairs are even more prominent. Commentators have lambasted Dandin's heroes for their antiheroic, apparently random, escapades, while in fact the architecture of his plot reveals an elegant, instructive construction.\n\nWhat Ten Young Men Did is a coming-of-age novel from the seventh century CE. In combat and in the bedroom, ten individuals juggle virtue and vice on their heroic progress from adolescence to maturity. Dandin’s work is autobiographical in two senses: each of the young men narrates their personal experiences, while the author could not have written with such confident realism had he not had many of the same picaresque adventures in his native South India and beyond.\n\nCo-published by New York University Press and the JJC Foundation\n\nFor more on this title and other titles in the Clay Sanskrit series, please visit http:\/\/www.claysanskritlibrary.org\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0814762069\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0814762069.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Dandin|Onians, Isabelle\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
