- The story of a goat / by Perumāḷmurukan̲,author.; Kalyan Raman, N.,translator.; translation of:Perumāḷmurukan̲.Pūn̲ācci allatu Oru veḷḷāṭṭin̲ katai.English.;
"A farmer in Tamil Nadu is watching the sun set over his village one evening when a mysterious stranger, a giant man, appears on the horizon. He offers the farmer a black goat kid who is the runt of the litter, surely too frail to survive. The farmer and his wife take care of the young she-goat, whom they name Poonachi, and soon the little goat is bounding with joy and growing prodigiously. Intoxicating passages from the goat's perspective offer a bawdy and earthy view of animal existence and a refreshing portrayal of the natural world. But Poonachi's life is not destined to be a rural idyll--dangers lurk around every corner, and may sometimes come from surprising places, including a government that is supposed to protect the weak and needy."--- Subjects: Allegories.; Rural families; Goats; Social classes;
