The grandeur and poetry of the Mahabharata make it a truly great epic. The narration is so vivid that one can hear the clash of weapons and the cry of elephants and horses in the battlefield. The characters are charged with strong emotions. Every one stands out larger than life; be it Duryodhana and his violence, Krishna and his statesmanship or Bhima and his strength.
This, the longest epic in the world, is retold by S Urmila Majumdar and illustrated by Krishnendu Chaki for the young readers.
