Al centro di questo celebre poema indiano sono l'inimicizia che divide i due rami della famiglia regale dei Kuru - i Pandava e i Kaurava - i loro tentativi di impossessarsi del potere e la grandiosa, definitiva battaglia che assurge a simbolo universale della lotta fra il bene e il male. Dei ed eroi, intrighi diabolici e gesta sovraumane, sontuose città regali e paesaggi incantati: la ricchezza dell'epica indiana viene restituita dal racconto ...

Originally published 1978 by the Viking Press.

Chandran is a good-natured, popular, rather dreamy student who works hard to pass his exams. Not all is well in Chandran's horoscope and while some customs can be forgotten, others must be strictly observed: customs that temporarily cause Chandran to turn his back on the legendary Malgudi altogether.

The first that indolent young Sriram knows about Mahatma Ghandi's visit to Malgudi is when a collection box is waved beneath his nose by the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. Yet that is how Sriram leaves Malgudi to become a passionate apostle of the Quit India campaign - only to find his convictions tested by the rigours of a prison cell.
