This edition of The Book of Job provides a fully annotated text in the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible. The King James Version (KJV) is included for comparison and to enable the modern reader to fully appreciate the poetical quality that is often lost in the NIV. Joban ethics anticipate Jesus' 'Sermon on the Mount' and an extract (Matthew 5:1-48) is appended, as a ready reference. The Introduction places the book in the context of ancient wisdom literature along with other books found in the Bible such as Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. Apart from discussing the linguistic and generic features, the Introduction also deals with the larger philosophical questions and themes Job raises such as the question of suffering and the limits of human wisdom. The critical essays and background readings included in this edition present several ways in which the text has been interpreted over the centuries, ranging from the traditional, exegetical approaches to twentieth century perspectives.

Among the known dramatic composition of ancient India, the Mrichchhakatika occupies a very high and distinguished position. It is a creation of outstanding brilliance. The Mrichchhatika is a drama in ten Acts based on the story of the love of Charudatta, a prominent but poor inhabitant of Ujjayini, and Vasantasena, an exquisitely beautiful but pure-minded courtesan of the city. By virtue of its high dramatic charm and its great literary excellence it has endeared itself to generations of spectators and readers; the play has been adapted in many Indian vernaculars, and in that modern form still continues to draw admiring crowds. The editor makes this book as comprehensive and useful as possible. To the commentary of Prithvidhara, which is somewhat abrupt and meager in places, he has made considerable additions where he felt them to be necessary for the elucidation of the text. The relation of this play to: Bhasa's Charudatta has been fully discussed in the Introduction. The Prakrit passages, which prove a hindrance to the student, have been printed below the text, and along with the' text, only the Sanskrit renderings are given above; the utility of this contrivance has been established in actual use.
