The Mahabharata is some 3,500 years old and is the longest poem in any language.
It is one of the founding epics of Indian culture and, with its mixture of
cosmic drama and profound philosophy (one small section forms the BHAGHAVAD
GITA) it holds aunique place in world literature. In this drastically shortened
prose rendering, Narayan uses all his extraordinary talents to convey to a
modern reader why this is such a great story. Filled with vivid characters,
obsessed with the rise and fall of gods, empires and heroes, Narayan's
MAHABHARATA is an enormously enjoyable experience and the perfect introduction
to the otherwise bewildering Indian cosmology.
