Description

The Mahabharata A Modern Retelling by Carole Satyamurti is an astonishing retelling of this ancient epic. Composed over two thousand years ago, it tells the story of a royal dynasty's feud that leads to devastating war, but also explores timeless questions of duty, love, and spiritual freedom. This beautifully crafted verse brings the past alive, evoking a world of myth, passion, and warfare. The Mahabharata is a seminal Hindu text that includes the Bhagavad Gita, one of the most important works in the history of world civilization. Carole Satyamurti's innovative English retelling covers all eighteen books of the Mahabharata, masterfully capturing its beauty, excitement, and profundity. A masterpiece of huge sweep and magisterial power, this work is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in Hinduism or world literature.
