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 masterful English translation covers all eighteen books of the Mahabharata, capturing its beauty, excitement, and profundity in blank verse. It is a seminal Hindu text that has had a profound impact on world civilization, and this new version brings it to life with its magnificent architecture and extraordinary scope. Carole Satyamurti's innovative retelling brings the epic masterpiece of the Mahabharata into the modern era, making it accessible to readers who may not be familiar with the original Sanskrit poem.
