Sons of Gods: Mahabharata

0/5 ( ratings)

Alternate cover edition of ASIN B006Q7F4Q6

A novel version of the great Indian epic. The Mahabharata belongs in the annals of world literature, and every educated person should be familiar with it. Its message is timeless , and especially relevant in these turbulent times. Western readers in particular should be reading the Mahabharata, including non-resident Indians who may have lost touch with their roots.

SONS OF GODS -- MAHABHARATA is kaleidoscopic in its beauty and intricacy. The hurdle of the tale's massive scope has always daunted translators, and the difficulty of prising the right tone from an ancient grand epic to suit a modern and Western audience has relegated it to largely academic obscurity.  What's saved it for us is that Sharon Maas knows full well that love, betrayal, lust, envy, pride, devotion, and heroism never go out of style. SONS OF GODS is a literary soap opera with a soul that spans the full horizon.

"The highest literature transcends regionalism, and through it, when we are properly attuned, we realise the essential oneness of the human family.
"The Mahabharata is of this class. It belongs to the world and not only to India. To the people of India, indeed, this epic has been an unfailing and perennial source of spiritual strength. Learnt at the mother’s knee with reverence and love, it has inspired great men to heroic deeds as well as enabled the humble to face their trials with fortitude and faith."

From: Preface to the Second Edition of The Mahabharata, by C. Rajagopalachari; Madras 1952
