Mahabharata: A Modern Retelling

[I completely modified my opinion (see the comments below), but I keep the original comments without modification.

My favorite abbreviation / abbreviation version Mahabharata (for now). Of course, you should 'read' the full sentence ... Of course ... but that is about 8000 pages ...! I had a complete English version (Gutenberg's prize), and I read some content. However, it is really useful to remember the core story when the full version drifts all over the world.

Some people complain that the author prefers to use free poetry. If that bothers you, maybe you may like the version of Ramesh Memon. So far, I found out that there is no problem with the summary version. After creating a summary story, translate sections directly between summary versions. This does not suit my taste (now ...), but I may like it!

In a nutshell: This version aroused my interest, I seem to have really done it! And this is really the key

Updated (November 28, 2015): The evaluation has been changed (Actually, the rating is dropped from 4 stars ...). As I mentioned above, I like this version - and poetic side - and when I finish I feel like I have a real feeling about the basic story ... I stopped reading before - I think that it is even a bit ... well, the excess may be the word I used at that time.

And Carol knew that he magically was completely eliminated in the book! She passed the quick poetic summary of 12/13 year exile, and I was happy just to read her summary instead of the "boring" complete version. So, I read the same part of the Ramesh Memon version ...! And it turned out that Carol missed the whole myth! The magical weapon UFO seems to remind Turkien's immortal elves directly from Star Wars and humanoid creatures - all Carol's sentences are missing!

So my current proposal is to save your money or jump to a complete translation (free on the internet, finding less than a few dollars at Amazon) (which is not my suggestion) or You can pick up the text of Ramesh Memon (called Mahabharata: modern rendering). Alternatively, you can choose a different route from Jaya. It is an illustration of Mahabharata of Devdutt Pattanaik in a completely different way. Attempting to select a basic story, Jaya's author holds your hand, who is who is, how they relate (usually just as they are involved!) In addition, the authors Consider various aspects of the story in the context - for example: how the hero does such a bad thing! What happened in "Context of the story" (Bhagavad Gita) (thought to be the Bible, but only one chapter of Mahabharata as a whole).

My advice is simple. Let's start with the graphical retailing of DevduttPattanaik, Mahabharata - this will give you a deeper foundation (let's decide if you want to go further!)

Finally, if you have a strong constitution, you can look into the actual unedited translation in detail.

This is an important part of the rehearsal produced. In an interview with Adit De in 1988, R. K. Narayan talks about his own collaboration with classical stories - Ramayana and Mahabharata talkers. For him, the need to tell these stories is very important. "They are symbolic and philosophical," he explained. "Even if it's just a story, they are wonderful, it's wonderful, they can not help you write, this is part of the author's discipline." For some authors, old text The basics of using is its own reward. Others may want to explore more contemporary problems and criticize something in their society using stories. Halldor Laxness' s novel "Wayward Heroes" was created in 1952, but recently translated into English by Philip Roughton. Starting from the first page of Laxis' novel, he clearly shows that this is a conscious summary of old work:

This movie is a modern version of the epic Mahabharata. This movie highlights the conflict between the village of Zamindar and five young people. The word Panda Val refers to Mahabharata's Pandava. An actor composed of Ambarish, Ramakrishna, Jai Jagadish, Dheerendra Gopal, Musuri Krishnamurthy, Aarathi etc. This movie is another classic of Puttanna Kanagal. Chandanada Gombe is a beautiful love story supervised by Dorairaj and Bhagwan, introducing a struggling school teacher and a poor family girl. After a few years of a happy marriage, unfortunately, the school teacher passed away in an accident. The rest of the story keeps depicting the lives of struggling widows and her children
