Details
by R. K. Narayan (Author)
Following in the footsteps of the storytellers of his native India, R. K. Narayan has produced his own versions of tales taken from the Ramayana and the Mahabarata. Carefully selecting those stories which include the strongest characters, and omitting the theological or social commentary that would have drawn out the telling, Narayan informs these fascinating myths with his urbane humor and graceful style.
"Mr. Narayan gives vitality and an original viewpoint to the most ancient of legends, lacing them with his own blend of satire, pertinent explanation and thoughtful commentary."-Santha Rama Rau, New York Times "Narayan's narrative style is swift, firm, graceful, and lucid . . . thoroughly knowledgeable, skillful, entertaining. One could hardly hope for more."-Rosanne Klass, Times Literary SupplementBack Jacket
Following in the footsteps of the storytellers of his native India, R. K. Narayan has produced his own versions of tales of gods, demons, magicians, king, and virtuous wives from the Ramayana and the Mahabarata.
