The Mahabharata by R K Narayan

The Mahabharata is the world’s longest poem, eight times longer than the Iliad and the Odyssey combined.

The Mahabharata by R.K.Narayan is a authentic translation of Mahabharata as a poem to prose.His prose takes the same turn as the original story but with the taste of Narayan’s writing.In the Mahabharata the five Pandava brothers (Yudhistira, Arjuna, Bhima, Nakula, and Sahadeva) struggle to obtain their inheritance, culminating in the great battle of Kurukshetra.

The Mahabharata pervade south and southeast Asian religion, art, literature, and popular culture; they are a central part of the world’s literary heritage and should be better known in the West. To this end, Narayan’s versions could be used in schools and read by (or to) children, along with the stories of biblical and Greek mythology. To help those unfamiliar with the setting and context, he includes with each volume a brief introduction, a list of characters, and a glossary of Indian words.

Narayan’s style has made this book as beautiful and the age-old Mahabharata.
