Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Narayan (anthropology and South Asian studies, Univ. of Wisconsin; Love, Stars and All That, LJ 9/15/93) has produced a unique volume of folktales from a village in the foothills of the Himalayas. The collection functions on several levels. First, the 21 stories told by Sood ("Urmilaji") are divided into women's ritual tales and winter tales, including narratives of a dog-girl and a princess who marries a lion. Second, within and around each tale are comments from Urmilaji and her family as well as explanations of local customs and mores. Third, the author's scholarly and personal journey during her work with Urmilaji informs the whole. It tells of the growing affection between the two women and establishes Narayan's theme that "stories arise out of relationships, they are about relationships, and they forge relationships." An excellent work; recommended for all folktale collections.?Katherine K. Koenig, Ellis Sch., Greensburg, Pa.

Kurzbeschreibung
Narayan presents 21 stories learned and told orally by one woman, Urmila Devi, in Kangra, North India. Included are stories told for worship and stories told for entertainment. In the process of recounting the stories, Narayan brings to life her friendship with the storyteller, and also offers arguments about oral traditions and performance, as well as about North Indian families and folklore. This is aimed at students of South Asian religion and folklore.

Format:Taschenbuch
When I ordered this book, I was expecting a collection of stories in seperate, neat little packages. Instead it seemed that a bunch of quirky little stories wiggled their way into a book about something entirely different. I think the stories themselves need some re-writing before they are fully presentable in English, but I also think that the book is about much more then a couple tall tales.

The stories told by Urmila Devi Sood in Kirin Narayan's
book "Earth into Gold" are woven as richly as a gold
brocade wedding sari. Many of the themes are fresh
and Ms Narayan's commentary fleshes out the
narative for those seeking a deeper meaning of the
tales that have been told by generations of story tellers
in the small village in the Himalayas where Urmilaji lives.
I reccommend this book for readers who enjoy folk tales
as well as for the more serious scholar. I would also not
hesitate to read these stories to children, as an alternative to
Hans Christian Anderson and the Brothers Grimm

Hearts and Minds through Stories
3. Juli 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a lovely and evocative book. The author brings us stories as an intimate of the women who tell them. Illuminating and graceful, the stories tell of life in a large sense, but the author shows us how their tellings grow out of particular lives and specific settings. As I read the stories, I felt that I came to know Urmilaji, too, and the hardships and pleasures of the Himalyan village in which she lives. I use this book often in teaching and my students love it. It helps them understand India in a subtle and pleasing way, and shows them how stories are rich with many meanings.

Awesome Book!!
7. März 2001
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I had this book for my anthropology class (Kirin Narayan is a professor here at University of Wisconsin - Madison) and though more often than not I find assigned books to be boring, this one was the opposite and I read it more than once and kept it at the end of the year instead of selling it back because I thought it was so great. Ms. Narayan visited our class one day and talked to us about how she had to learn Urmila Devi Sood's dialect before she could talk with her and record the folktales. I love the folktales in this book!! This is a great book to own!
