Summary: Phadaeng Nang Ai, a Translation of a Thai/Isan Folk Epic in
Comment: This book is the first translation of any book on local Thai literature. The translation illustrates characteristic northeast Thai poetry. The best part of this translation is its detailed notes on literary, cultural, and historical references. The story is wonderful and uniquely Thai; its theme is universal and is still applicable to today's world problem of fighting for food, resources, and power. However, the translation may sound a bit stiff as the translator aims at poetic form called khlong san. I recommend this book for any southeast asian studies scholars.
