Read & Learn: Vikram and the Vampire

    What is a good way to learn something when you can't experience it on your own? READ!!! Reading is fun and enjoyable way to immerse into the feelings of the writer's words, where you can experience it like you are wearing a VR headset in your mind. Today I'll be telling you about a famous storybook that I personally like to read and listen to, Vikram and the Vampire. There's also a SURPRISE waiting for you at the end, but before that let's dive deep into the backstory and synopsis of this book.




Backstory

    Vikram and the Vampire, also known as Vikram-Betaal, is a set of  tales and legends from India within a frame story. Translated and written by the well known author of Arabian Nights, Sir Richard Francis Burton, with his extraordinary knowledge of languages and cultures during the middle of the fourteenth century. Those were the times when the West had borrowed many things from the East, such as rhymes and romance, lutes and drums, alchemy and knight-errantry. Vikram and the Vampire is based on 'Betaal Pachisi', written in the 11th century by Kashmiri poet Somdev Bhatt. These are spellbinding stories told to the wise King Vikramaditya by the witty ghost Betaal, somewhat having the king as the protagonist.




Synopsis

    Vikram and the Vampire story revolves around King Vikram who promises a sorcerer to bring him the Baital, a huge vampire. It hangs on a tree deep in the jungle and inhabits and animates dead bodies. Vikram has to face many difficulties in bringing Baital due to the agreement between them. While Baital tells him Hindu fairy tales and concludes them with clever questions, Vikram has to force himself not to speak out the answer, thus violating the agreement between them. Explore the dark fairy tales of Hindus in the Vikram and the Vampire.




Adaptations

    The story is very famous that it is well-known in many countries after Richard F. Burton's version was published. It is also translated into a few other languages in Asian countries. After the book spread worldwide, there was TV serial made on it in India. These days you can find Vikram and Betaal's books in suitable forms both for kids to adults. Many illustrated books and animations and TV serials have been made in the recent years.
