Ramayana (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169287198)

Ramayana is an epic poem that tells the story of Rama, a prince who is exiled from his kingdom and must rescue his wife Sita from the demon king Ravana. This version of the Ramayana was written by Romesh C. Dutt, a Bengali writer and civil servant, and was first published in 1899. Dutt's retelling draws on multiple versions of the Ramayana from different regions of India, and includes detailed descriptions of the characters, settings, and events of the story. The book is divided into seven books or kandas, each of which focuses on a different part of the story, from Rama's childhood and marriage to his battles with Ravana and eventual return to his kingdom. The Ramayana is considered one of the most important works of Indian literature, and has been adapted into countless plays, films, and other works of art throughout the centuries.And my evil fates are vanquished and my race is sanctified, With the warlike race of Raghu thus in loving bonds allied, Sacrifice and rites auspicious we ordain with rising sun, Ere the evening's darkness closes, happy nuptials shall be done!""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
