{"product_id":"mahabharata-9780520305588","title":"Mahabharata","description":"Few works in world literature have inspired so vast an audience in nations with radically different languages and cultures as the \u003ci\u003eMahabharata\u003c\/i\u003e. Written some 2,000 years ago and probably the longest Indian epic ever composed, it is a story of dynastic struggle that culminates in a fatal clash between two branches of a single ruling family. It is a moral and philosophical tale as well as a historical one. In his introduction, Sanskritist B. A. van Nooten notes that apart from William Buck's rendition no other English version has been able to capture the blend of religion and martial spirit that pervades the original epic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Buck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e World Literature in Translation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.6lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520305588","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42447054536841,"sku":"9780520305588","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_683f6332-593f-4efa-b463-c948ba863127.jpg?v=1716236745","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/mahabharata-9780520305588","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
