"This new version is so simply and beautifully written -- it will stir the soul!" --David Lynch Review: A truly inspiring translaton - I have read two different translations but this is a particularly beautiful one. The way the dialogue is shown and the character's responses is really heart warming. Yes, it is a joy to read. Review: Exceptional retelling! - I loved every bit of it, such a heartwarming story. One could almost imagine the scenes playing out. As a child and even as an adult growing up in a Hindu family, my only knowledge was a very short version that occurs during Diwali. I would get a glimpse of my father reading the Sanskrit poem version very occasionally he had kept for decade's and always wondered why he has so much love for it. Now I truly understand. It is one beautiful mythological story I would definitely recommend reading! ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 346,656 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 264 in Hindu Philosophy 2,392 in Spiritual Meditation 4,603 in Spirituality (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 252 Reviews | ## Images ![The Ramayana: A New Retelling of Valmiki's Ancient Epic--Complete and Comprehensive (Cornerstone Editions) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71e1BLNyKpL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A truly inspiring translaton *by H***3 on 13 October 2024* I have read two different translations but this is a particularly beautiful one.
