One of India's greatest epics, the Ramayana pervades the country's
moral and cultural consciousness. For generations it has served as
a bedtime story for Indian children, while at the same time
engaging the interest of philosophers and theologians. Believed to
have been composed by Valmiki sometime between the eighth and sixth
centuries BC, the Ramayana tells the tragic and magical story of
Rama, the prince of Ayodhya, an incarnation of Lord Visnu, born to
rid the earth of the terrible demon Ravana. An idealized heroic
tale ending with the inevitable triumph of good over evil, the
Ramayana is also an intensely personal story of family
relationships, love and loss, duty and honor, of harem intrigue,
petty jealousies, and destructive ambitions. All this played out in
a universe populated by larger-than-life humans, gods and celestial
beings, wondrous animals and terrifying demons. With her
magnificent translation and superb introduction, Arshia Sattar has
successfully bridged both time and space to bring this ancient
classic to modern English readers.
