Sakoontala or The Lost Ring
New York, 1855
A celebrated Indian drama translated from the Sanskrit, Sakoontala tells the story of the beautiful but innocent Sakoontala. She entrances a visiting king who marries her but must depart; before leaving he gives her a ring to signify their marriage and present to him. Only with this ring can Sakoontala claim her rightful place as queen. Trouble ensues when she loses the ring while travelling to meet him. A widely admired play, both within India as well as the rest of the world due to its influence on Goethe.
