Rendition Toward Books Ramayana
El Ramayana es un libro de la India antigua. Se cree que sus orígenes se remontan al siglo IV a.C. ya que forma parte de los smíriti hindúes (textos no aportados directamente por Dios, sino transmitidos por la tradición). El Ramayana es una de las obras literarias más importantes de la India, este libro estableció algunas pautas fundamentales dentro de la poesía sánscrita y ha tenido una gran influencia en el arte y la cultura del sureste de Asia, El texto de esta obra es alegórico definitivamente, cuenta la historia del semidiós Rama, quien representa todo lo bueno, y su encantada lucha contra los asuras, que ostentan el poder del mal. En la mitología hindú, asura es el símbolo equivalente al titán o demonio gigante, así que en esta epopeya tenemos el mito de la lucha entre semidioses y demonios, es decir, el combate entre los poderes de la luz y las fuerzas malignas de la oscuridad. Rama constituye el ideal del hombre sabio, fuerte, justo y bueno, en él se funden todas las cualidades del gobernante y del guerrero. Además, tiene magníficos recursos, que utiliza en el momento oportuno.

Excellent book! An authority on Ramayana! Superb language and very concise. In my opinion, a must read.This is the only adaptation of the Ramayana I have read, and so I can't be sure how much of my poor rating is attributable to Buck's adaptation and how much is dissatisfaction with the epic itself. So, I will list the aspects I find lacking, and those better versed than I in the mythology can interpret accordingly.Although there are a few memorable lines ("Raavana lay like a collection of wrongs") for the most part I find the language cloying, dumbed-down amateur poetry using hackneyed, not
This was a great read. This is a re-telling of the Ramayana, by William Buck. It is not in verse, although it remains in the original seven parts, and is considered one of the better modern re-tellings.I must admit, the first of the seven parts almost had me putting this back on the self for another time. It was confusing with the number of characters, the timeframes and general confusion. I am so glad I persisted, as from the end of that part on, it was brilliant. To be fair it was the scene
A transcendental epic tragedy of Divine sorts. A story with as much beauty and poetry as philosophy and truths.each character and situation reflects different things in both the spiritual realm as in our human condition. Decisions, consequences, tragedy, nobility of spirit, height of thought, duty and unflinching righteousness. It is as well a "fantastic" story, with things that can happen only in spiritual manifestations of the spiritual realm, such as flying giant monkeys which think and talk,
Myths and folklore are always fascinating, especially when they belong to countries of which you know but just a little.
A beautiful story that has numerous morals embedded in it. Even till today, the story of Ramayana is recited and narrated worldwide. Wayang Kulit (Indonesian Puppet Show) depicts the story of Ramayana! C. Rajagopalachari's book is a concise version but he has presented the story beautifully. C. Rajagopalachari, throughout the book, recommends one to visit the work by Valmeeki (original narrator) and Kamban (later translated into Tamil) for the vivid descriptions. Here's a really quick summary of
The definitive edition of the Ramáyana, unabridged, with the romanized Sanskrit on the facing page and a very useful glossary. This first volume is frequently regarded as having been added on, and indeed lacks the narrative flair that kicks in with the second volume and presumably displays the true artistry of Valmiki. Were the Ramáyana simply a novel, one might say that it would be better to excise or at least severely trim this first book. As it stands, it is somewhat as though tradition had
