Una dintre comorile literaturii universale, Kalila si Dimna, prin povestile sale pline de talc, si-a gasit ecou in folclorul marilor culturi ale lumii si in literatura - de la fabulele lui La Fontaine, pana la Povestirile din Canterbury si O mie si una de nopti. Scrisa initial cu intentia de a-i invata pe tinerii printi ce inseamna puterea, tradarea si prietenia, istoria celor doi sacali ajunsi la curtea leului ii va incanta atat pe copii, cat si pe iubitorii de basme sau de literatura clasica.
