{"product_id":"mahabharata-carole-satyamurti-9780393081756","title":"Mahabharata: A Modern Retelling","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally composed approximately two thousand years ago, the \u003cem\u003eMahabharata\u003c\/em\u003e tells the story of a royal dynasty, descended from gods, whose feud over their kingdom results in a devastating war. But it contains much more than conflict. An epic masterpiece of huge sweep and magisterial power, \"a hundred times more interesting\" than the \u003cem\u003eIliad\u003c\/em\u003e and the \u003cem\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/em\u003e, writes Wendy Doniger in the introduction, the \u003cem\u003eMahabharata\u003c\/em\u003e is a timeless work that evokes a world of myth, passion, and warfare while exploring eternal questions of duty, love, and spiritual freedom. A seminal Hindu text, which includes the \u003cem\u003eBhagavad Gita\u003c\/em\u003e, it is also one of the most important and influential works in the history of world civilization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInnovatively composed in blank verse rather than prose, Carole Satyamurti's English retelling covers all eighteen books of the \u003cem\u003eMahabharata\u003c\/em\u003e. This new version masterfully captures the beauty, excitement, and profundity of the original Sanskrit poem as well as its magnificent architecture and extraordinary scope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carole Satyamurti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393081753\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393081756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
