This book is radically different from the body of literature that exists on Indian mythology. Various versions of this extraordinary text have appeared all over the world in many different languages and forms. This delightful selection of poems endeavours to preserve the essence and trenchant philosophy of the original text in a dazzlingly original and imaginative style. Men Mammals and Morals, a haunting rhapsody of imagination, part epic, part philosophy, part fable, has as its central theme the holistic development of the human psyche. The Panchatantra can be viewed from two perspectives. The first perspective is that of simple but engaging fables which sometimes raise a chuckle and help pass time. The second perspective is that of a deeper import or meaning which can be applied to life. This book, Men Mammals and Morals is a sort of operating manual for life itself and applicable to people irrespective of colour, creed, nationality and gender. It imparts practical and free insights that can be carried out as part of life-as-usual. This book therefore gives the readers in a capsule form the broad principles which ought to regulate their conduct in society, ensuring that the human species as a whole thrives.

    Edward V Bonner
