🔽 Book review and notes 🔽

Another book gift when I was in India.
It tells little stories associated with wise words passed down from Avvaiyar (a female poet from Tamil, southern India, from 12th century), female to female.

It's not something to read like a story, something to open time to time to enjoy the nice little stories,
It's a collection of little famous or historical, or legendary quick stories, so not really something to read all in one go, but something to go back to time to time.
Wisdom and warmth of the ancient India.

    […] 🔽🔽 読書記録 🔽🔽インドでもらった本の一つ。日本で言うところのおばあちゃんの知恵袋みたいなものだけど、実用的というより逸話や伝説から学ぼう的な感じ。Avvaiyarという南インド、タミルの12世紀の女性の詩人の言葉を、女性がずっと繋げてきた逸話、格言集。一気に読むというより、たまに一つ一つ読んだり、思い出したときに開けて読むようなもの。古代インドの賢さと暖かさ。🔽 関連ページ 🔽“My grandmother’s tweets” Geeta Gopalakrishnan (2018) Review |Female wisdom from Tamil […]
