Mahabharata

內容簡介

內容簡介 《摩訶婆羅多》乃古印度兩大著名梵文史詩之一，成書於西元前3世紀至西元5世紀之間。《摩訶婆羅多》對於印度的哲學和宗教有很重要的作用，在古代印度以口頭吟誦的方式創作流行，是亞洲文化的遠古源頭之一。"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
