ABOUT THIS BOOK
One of the oldest literary texts in the country, the Ramayana has had a profound impact on our emotional lives. Innumerable translations, or rather reinterpretations, of the work exist. Generations of poets have delighted in taking up scenes and daubing them with fresh colour.Romesh Dutt’s translation is one with a difference where the writer homes in on core incidents and strings them together. To the first time reader it provides a general acquaintance with incidents in the tale, besides a sample of the poetic beauty of the work
