Description

One of Indiarsquo;s greatest epics; the Rāmāyaṇa pervades the countryrsquo;s moral and cultural consciousness. Believed to have been composed by Vālmīki sometime between the eighth and sixth centuries BC; it recounts the tragic and magical tale of Rāma; the wrongfully exiled prince of Ayodhyā; an incarnation of the god Viṣṇu; born to rid the earth of the terrible demon Rāvaṇa.An idealized heroic tale about the struggle between good and evil; the Rāmāyaṇa is also an intensely personal story of family relationships; love and loss; duty and honour; of harem intrigue; petty jealousies and destructive ambitionsmdash;all this played out in a universe populated by larger-than-life humans; gods and celestial beings; wondrous animals and terrifying demons.Widely acclaimed since its first publication in 1996; Arshia Sattarrsquo;s stellar translation is an absolute delight; successfully bridging time and space to bring us the wisdom; adventure and eroticism of this enduring classic.
