The Mahabharata tells a story of such violence and tragedy that many people in India refuse to keep the full text in their homes, fearing that if they do, they will invite a disastrous fate upon their house. The modern version is famously long, and at more than 1.8 million words--seven times the combined lengths of the Iliad and Odyssey--it can be incredibly daunting.Contemporary readers have a much more accessible entry point to this important work, thanks to R. K. Covering everything from creation to destruction, this ancient poem remains an indelible part of Hindu culture and a landmark in ancient literature.Centuries of listeners and readers have been drawn to The Mahabharata, which began as disparate oral ballads and grew into a sprawling epic.
Now with a new foreword by Wendy Doniger, as well as a Narayan's masterful translation and abridgement of the poem.
