With daring poetic forms, Karthika Na r breathes new life into this ancient epic.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKarthika Na r refracts the epic Mahabharata through the voices of nameless soldiers, outcast warriors and handmaidens as well as abducted princesses, tribal queens, and a gender-shifting god. As peripheral figures and silent catalysts take center stage, we get a glimpse of lives and stories buried beneath the dramas of god and nation, heroics and victory - of the lives obscured by myth and history, all too often interchangeable.\u003ci\u003e Until the Lions\u003c\/i\u003e is a kaleidoscopic, poetic tour de force. It reveals the most intimate threads of desire, greed, and sacrifice in this foundational epic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karthika Nair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1939810361\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781939810366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Archipelago Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 6.60w x 1.00d","brand":"Karthika Nair","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995182825727,"sku":"9781939810366","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e05c4fbb-14e3-405a-9dd0-3c7c0cabe8c5.jpg?v=1683334324","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/until-the-lions-karthika-nair-9781939810366","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
