The Mahabharata by R. K. Narayan

The Mahabharata by R. K. Narayan

The Mahabharata runs to roughly a hundred thousand verses in the original, and Narayan's achievement is compressing the whole story into a single readable volume without draining it of what makes it enormous.

The dice game that costs five brothers their kingdom and their wife's dignity in one afternoon. Thirteen years of exile. Krishna's counsel to a warrior who does not want to fight his own family. The eighteen-day war that ends almost everyone. Narayan tells it as a storyteller rather than a scholar, which is exactly what a first reading needs.

The most accessible English retelling of India's great epic, by one of its finest novelists.
