The Mahabharata is an Indian epic, in its original Sanskrit probably the largest ever composed. Combined with the Ramayana, it embodies the essence of the Indian cultural heritage…an absorbing tale of a feud between two branches of a single Indian ruling family that culminates in a vast, cataclysmic battle….has retold the story so that the modern reader will not be discouraged from knowing and loving the stories as he did himself.
