內容簡介
《摩訶婆羅多》梵文史詩
《摩訶婆羅多》的故事講述俱盧家族的兩派兄弟Pandavas和Kauravas為爭奪王位而進行的戰爭。其中的《薄伽梵歌》為印度教的重要經典。愛、憤怒、嫉妒、心靈嚮往皆為其歌頌的主題，也展示了人類無可避免的政治及道德上的兩難。
Carol Satyamurti以敏銳且有力的文筆帶領我們穿梭於這首以古老梵文創作的史詩，提供英語讀者身歷其境的機會。
“Carole Satyamurti’s version of the Mahabharata moves swiftly and powerfully. She has found a voice that’s capable of a wide variety of expression, and a line―basically classical English blank verse with a jazz-like freedom to swing―that propels the reader effortlessly onward through the cosmic, terrifying, erotic, sublime events of this extraordinary work. I think I shall never get tired of it.”
―PHILIP PULLMAN, author of The Golden Compass
