The Stories of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata: The Great Indian Epics is a book written by John Campbell Oman in 1899. The book is a retelling of two of the most important and influential epics in Indian literature, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. The Ramayana tells the story of Rama, a prince who is exiled from his kingdom and embarks on a journey to rescue his wife Sita from the demon king Ravana. The Mahabharata, on the other hand, is a much larger epic that tells the story of a dynastic struggle for power between two branches of a royal family, the Pandavas and the Kauravas. Oman's retelling of these epic stories is designed to make them accessible to Western readers who may not be familiar with Indian mythology or culture. He uses clear and simple language to convey the complex themes and ideas of the epics, and his retelling is faithful to the original texts while also emphasizing their universal themes of love, loyalty, and the struggle between good and evil. Overall, The Stories of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata: The Great Indian Epics is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Indian literature, mythology, or culture. It provides a clear and engaging introduction to two of the most important works in the Indian literary canon and is sure to inspire readers to further explore these rich and complex stories.With Notes, Appendices, and Illustrations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
