Publisher Description:
The Aathichoodi is a collection of single-line quotations written by Avvaiyar and it is organized in alphabetical order. There are 109 of these didactic lines which include "Intend to do right deeds," "Never degrade learning," "Don't exaggerate what you saw," "Don't forget gratitude" and many other insightful quotes expressed in simple words. It teaches good habits, discipline and good works for all. The translation besides being faithful to the original is exquisite. The Tamil speaking / learning child learns these didactic poems by heart in early age, proves their truth and value in the struggle of life and finally in old age cherishes and treasures them up as a precious and perdurable heritage to be handed on to posterity. Epigrammatic brevity, imperious verbal economy and exquisite felicity of phrasing are some of the outstanding literary qualities by which these poems are distinguished. We know for sure that the English speaking public, as well as the students of Tamil who are making researches in Tamil literature, will find this Tamil - English Kindle edition will be very useful and accord warm reception to it.
