It recounts the legendary tales of the Raghu dynasty, whose scions include Rama, the hero of the Ramayana. In this majestic mahakavya, Kalidasa invokes the whole gamut of literary flavours, ranging from the erotic and the heroic to the tragic, horrific and peaceful. The forbears and the descendants of Rama are all brought to life. Within these pages we see the ideal couple, Dilipa and Sudakshina, their son Raghu's valour and generosity, the tragic love of Aja and Indumati, the travails of Dasaratha, the feats of Kusha and Atithi, and finally, the dynasty's downfall with Sudarshana and Agnivarna.\u003cbr\u003e Composed in nineteen cantos, this mesmerizing, lyrical and very accessible new translation of Raghuvamsam will continue to enthrall readers with its insights into ancient India, its land, people and seasons, and its social and cultural values that are still relevant today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kalidasa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0670087106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780670087105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e India Penguin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Kalidasa","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49096689123583,"sku":"9780670087105","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/raghuvamsam-kalidasa-9780670087105","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
