Riassunto

The original Ramayana was written in Sanskrit by a reformed thief-turned-sage named Valmiki, possibly as long ago as 2,000 B.C. Now, with breathtaking imagination and brilliant storytelling, Indian writer Ashok Banker has recreated this magnificent tale for modern readers everywhere.

In the ancient city of Ayodhya, a young prince has a terrifying apocalyptic vision. Shortly after, an ancient seer arrives at the city gates with an equally terrifying prophecy. Two men brought together by extraordinary events. Two men who will journey together to the ends of the world...

The Ramayana has begun.

Recensione:

A thundering good story. Here are all the heroes and gods, demons and sorcerers you can possibly want. Banker does a wonderful job of bringing this great classic to modern readers (Dave Duncan)

Banker creates a marvelous landscape of princes, demons, mages, and lovers. I love good fantasy, and this one-of-a-kind epic charmed and delighted me (Kate Elliott, author of THE GATHERING STORM)

A cracking good yarn ... bask in the warm waters of one of the sources of world mythology, made more accessible to the modern, Western reader by Banker's excellent narrative interpretation (THE ALIEN ONLINE)

Refreshing in both style as well as source material... If the rest of the trilogy is as impressive as this first book, the fantasy community should be well pelased" ENIGMA ('Its demonic intrusions are extravagantly and grippingly horrific, while its despictions of the sybaritic and civilised routines of court life are wholly appealing. the book offers a most pleasurable entry into one of the world's great classics')

Descrizione del libro:
