Even though i had read "Ramayana" and "Mahabharata" in my childhood, stories which come in between the main story are very difficult to remember. It was a revisit to ma childhood memories. "Ramayana" doesnt have much of twists, but "Mahabharata" is just awesome.. It has comedy,hatred,jealousy,sympathy,honesty,loyalty,cruelty.... all the drama... just love it... ( ) In this special omnibus edition, R K Narayan, India's finest living English language novelist, retells the two great Indian epics The Ramayana and The Mahabharata as well as other well-known incidents from Hindu mythology and folklore. For The Ramayana, the story of Lord Rama's life, believed to have been composed by Valmiki in the fourth century BC, R K Narayan draws inspiration from the eleventh century Tamil poet, Kamban's version. His Mahabharata is based on Vyasa's monumental work, perhaps the greatest story ever told, composed around 3,500 years ago. In the third book in this anthology, Gods, Demons and Others, Narayan retells stories from a variety of sources -- Kalidasa's Sanskrit classic Abhijnana Shakuntalam, the Tamil epic Silappadikaram, the Shiva Purana and the Devi Bhagwatam, besides The Ramayana and The Mahabharata. Retaining the spirit of the originals, R K Narayan, the consummate storyteller, has given us classic works from a glorious tradition recast in his own inimitable style. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
