Title: An Emphasis On Morality!
Product review: In this adaptation of the classic, William Buck retells the >3400 year old Sanskrit epic verse, the "Mahabharata."This text provides detailed interaction between the figures engaged in the Bharata war that took place between the Kurus people and the Pandus or Pandavas people. The actions of the warriors of both peoples are portrayed in both a heroic and moral context, and it should be understood that the Mahabharata is a reenactment (allegorical) of a cosmic moral confrontation (by the gods), and not simply an account of the cataclysmic battle.Buck's version of the original is written in a smooth flowing and interesting way and is a good introduction to Dharma, Indian mythology, Hinduism, and the caste system. I rate Buck's version at four stars for an attempt at a flowing novel, but being a little "disjointed," and lacking somewhat in detail. All in all, well done.
