The Ramayana: A Shortened Modern Prose Version of the Indian Epic ANNOTATION
The heroic story of Prince Rama is one of India's supreme epics, retold and translated by R.K. Narayan in this new version for modern readers.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
The Ramayana is, quite simply, the greatest of Indian epics - and one of the world's supreme masterpieces of storytelling. Here, drawing his inspiration from the work of an eleventh-century Tamil poet called Kamban, Narayan has used the talents of a master novelist to recreate the excitement and joy he has found in the original. It can be enjoyed and appreciated, he suggests, for its psychological insight, its spiritual depth and its practical wisdom - or just as a thrilling tale of abduction, battle and courtship played out in a universe thronged with heroes, deities and demons.
