Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Has anyone else read Ashok Banker's new version of the Ramayana? I just read the first book called Prince of Ayodhya" and it was remarkable. You can get it at Amazon for $2.00, must of had an over printing?

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 No, but last year I read Ramesh Menon's version, which is also fairly recent, and it is really fantastic, too. It is very true to the original, yet so eloquently written that I couldn't put it down. Just from a literary perspective, it really is just such a wonderful story, full of all the elements that make up a timeless classic: heroes and heroines, betrayal, magic, eternal love, the battle of good and evil. In fact I think it would make an excellent movie, but who knows if anyone will ever take it on, even if it is one of the greatest stories of all time? I'm really hoping that someone will do a really fantastic Mahabarata someday, because I haven't yet found one that I could get through (except, of course, the Amar Chitra Katha version!!!).
