Description:The Ramayana is, quite simply, the greatest of Indian epics and one of the world's supreme storytelling masterpieces.'Almost every individual living in India,' writes R. K. Narayan in the Introduction to this new interpretation, 'is aware of the story of The Ramayana. Everyone of whatever age, outlook, education or station in life knows the essential part of the epic and adores the main figures in it - Rama and Sita. Every child is told the story at bedtime . . . The Ramayana pervades our cultural life.' Although the Sanskrit original was composed by Valmiki, probably around the fourth century BC, poets have produced countless variant versions in different languages.Here, drawing his inspiration from the work of an eleventh-century Tamil poet called Kamban, Narayan has used his talents as a master novelist to recreate the excitement and joy he has found in the original.
