Reviews"A beautiful new rendering of an inexhaustible theme." -Peter Brook, Film and Theatre Director "Reverent, lyrical, and engaging, Menon's retelling is an impressive addition to the voluminous lore--oral, written, and performed-that collectively comprises the Rama story tradition of India and Southeast Asia. Combining the basic narrative of the ancient Sanskrit epic of Valmiki with strands from medieval devotional versions and hints of Western epic, folktale, and scripture, it brings this great story to life once more for an English-language audience." -Philip Lutgendorf, Associate Professor of Hindi and Modern Indian Studies, University of Iowa "This is a beautifully re-told Ramayana. Menon finds the perfect balance of detail and narrative excitement. It's the best single-volume version of the Ramayana." -Ariel Glucklich, Associate Professor of Hinduism, Georgetown University, author ofSacred PainandClimbing Chamundi Hill(forthcoming).

SynopsisStill an integral part of India's cultural and religious expression, The Ramayana was originally composed by the Sanskrit poet Valmiki around 300 BC. Retold here by Ramesh Menon in modern prose, it concerns the exiled Prince Rama's struggle to rescue his wife from a demon and reclaim his thrown.
