Few works in world literature have inspired so vast an audience, in
nations with radically different languages and cultures, as the
"Ramayana" and "Mahabharata", two Sanskrit verse epics written some
2,000 years ago. In "Ramayana" (written by a poet known to us as
Valmiki), William Buck has retold the story of Prince Rama - with
all its nobility of spirit, courtly intrigue, heroic renunciation,
fierce battles, and triumph of good over evil - in a length and
manner that will make the great Indian epics accessible to the
contemporary reader. The same is true for the "Mahabharata" - in
its original Sanskrit, probably the longest Indian epic ever
composed. It is the story of a dynastic struggle, between the Kurus
and Pandavas, for land. In his introduction, Sanskritist B. A. van
Nooten notes, "Apart from William Buck's rendition [no other
English version has] been able to capture the blend of religion and
martial spirit that pervades the original epic". Presented
accessibly for the general reader without compromising the spirit
and lyricism of the originals, William Buck's "Ramayana" and
"Mahabharata" capture the essence of the Indian cultural heritage.
