Description
The Rāmāyaṇa of Vālmīki: A Monumental Epic in Contemporary English This monumental Sanskrit epic poem has profoundly affected literature, art, religions, and cultures of South and Southeast Asia for millennia. The story of Prince Rama's exile and his odyssey to recover his abducted wife, Sita, recounts thrilling battles with flying monkeys and ten-headed demons. Now, the definitive English translation of this critical edition is available in a single volume. Based on the authoritative seven-volume translation edited by Robert Goldman and Sally Sutherland Goldman, this book presents the unabridged translated text in contemporary English, revised and reformatted into paragraph form. A new introduction provides important historical and literary contexts, while a glossary, pronunciation guide, and index offer additional support for readers. Ideal for students and general readers, this edition of the Rāmāyaṇa of Vālmīki introduces an extraordinary work of world literature to a new generation of readers.
