Sommario/riassunto |
|
Within its 200,000 verse lines in Sanskrit the Mahabharata takes on many roles: epic poem, foundational text of Hinduism, and, more broadly, the engaging story of a dynastic struggle and the passing of an age when man and gods intermingled.David R.Slavitt's sparkling new edition condenses the epic for the general reader. |
