Ramayana

Few works in world literature have inspired so vast an audience, in nations with radically different languages and cultures, as the Ramayana, a Sanskrit verse epic written some 2,000 years ago. William Buck has retold the story of Prince Rama - with all its nobility of spirit, courtly intrigue, heroic renunciation, fierce battles, and the triumph of good over evil - in a length and manner that will make the great Indian epics available to the contemporary reader.
