Tamil classic Purananuru, a compilation of poems composed about two thousand years ago by more than a hundred and fifty poets... While accurately capturing the quintessential beauty of poetic Tamil, the authors (George L. Hart and gifted poet Hank Heifetz) successfully evoke an authentic aura of the culture, geography, glimpses of history, and everyday life of the ancient Tamils.
Purananuru is an excellent source of information on the political and social history of pre-historic Tamil Nadu. There is a wealth of information on the various rulers who ruled the Tamil country before and during the Sangam era (200 BCE – 100 CE).
