A sweeping tale of abduction, battle, and courtship played out in a universe of deities and demons, The Ramayana is familiar to virtually every Indian. Although the Sanskrit original was composed by Valmiki around the fourth century BC, poets have produced countless versions in different languages. Here, drawing on the work of an eleventh-century poet called Kamban, Narayan employs the skills of a master novelist to re-create the excitement he found in the original. A luminous saga made accessible to new generations of readers, The Ramayana can be enjoyed for its spiritual wisdom, or as a thrilling tale of ancient conflict. (This text refers to an another abridged edition.)

Poor quality printing as well as layout is not standard formatting. The book appears to be a low quality print on demand item. All of the text is justified left as usual but only covers parts of each page. It does not appear to be an authentic Ramayana reprint. My first impression on opening the book was, "what is this? It's very odd on several levels. I don't see the value in this book because it's not a standard presentation of an important, classic Hindu tale about a key divine being from the Indian tradition."
