A modern-day retelling of one of the world`s oldest epics
One of the greatest epics in the world, the Mahabharata is a spectacular work of creative brilliance. More
ingeniously conceived than the Iliad or the Odyssey, the Mahabharata delves deep into the human psyche,
exploring the range of human ideals and emotions. Very often, however, a rendition of the Mahabharata,
in its efforts to explore the ideological implications of the epic, loses sight of the fact that it is also a very
human story “ it is not only a tale of battles and philosophies but also a story about the people who fought those battles and lived those philosophies.
In this imaginative retelling of the epic by Prof. Shiv K. Kumar, we rediscover the beauty of a magnificent tale that is ultimately propelled by the force of human emotions “ love and hate, lust and vengeance, jealousy and greed, loyalty and betrayal.ISBN 9789350291917
