Sanskrit for 'Song of the Lord', the Bhagavad Gita is a 700-verse Hindu epic that constitutes part of the faith's vast cornerstone work, the Mahabharata. The book provides timeless truths and indispensable advice for believers trying to overcome internal tensions, doubt and indecision. The teachings are conveyed in the form of a dialogue between the Pandava general Arjuna and the deity Krishna, who helps Arjuna understand his position in the Kurukshetra War, and guides him towards the right course of action. The Gita's treatment of duty and devotion has inspired many, including the peaceful activist Mahatma Gandhi, who referred to it as his 'spiritual dictionary'.… (altro)
"La Bhagavadgita sta all'India come il 'Vangelo' alla nostra civiltà. La Bhagavadgita è il centro ideale di un immenso poema epico, il Mahabharata per il quale origini e datazione sono quanto mai incerte. J.A.B. van Buitenen, che lavorò a lungo alla più autorevole edizione Occidentale del Mahabharata, propose la seguente formula: ""Una datazione che vada dal 400 a.C. al 400 d.C. è ovviamente assurda se riferita a una singola opera letteraria. Ha un senso se consideriamo il testo non tanto un'opera sola, ma una biblioteca di opere. Allora possiamo dire che il 400 a. C. fu la data di fondazione di quella biblioteca e che il 400 d.C. fu la data approssimativa dopo la quale non furono più aggiunte sostanziali al testo"". L'edizione che qui presentiamo si basa su alcuni corsi tenuti alla Sorbona da Oliver Lacombe, ed è curata dalla sua allieva Anne Marie Esnoul." ( )

Nowadays, it is becoming fashionable to translate the world's great books into some form of Basic English, or everyday speech. (Translators' preface, 4th edition, 1987)
Several translations and commentaries on the Bhagavadgītā exist, many of them comprehensive and thorough.
Preface (Nabar/Tumkur edition).
The first translation from Sanskrit into English was a translation of the Bhagavad Gita.
Introduction (Penguin Classics ed., 1962).
The Bhagavadgītā in Indian Life:
The first thing about the Bhagavadgītā that any non-Hindu or non-Indian needs to understand is that it incorporates what may broadly be termed the Hindu view of life more than any other extant Hindu text.
Introduction (Nabar/Tumkur edition).
More than twenty-five centuries have passed since that which has been called the Perennial Philosophy was first committed to writing; and in the course of those centuries it has found expression, now partial, now complete, now in this form, now in that, again and again.
Dhritardshtra said: O Sanjaya, what did Pandu's sons and mine do when, desirous to fight, they assembled on the sacred plain of Kurukshetra?
Chapter 1 (Swami Nikhilananda translation, 1952).
DHRITA-RASHTRA On the field of Truth, on the battle-field of life, what came to pass, Sanjaya, when my sons and their warriors faced those of my brother Pandu?
Wherever is Krishna, the End of Yoga, wherever is Arjuna who masters the bow, there is beauty and victory, and joy and all righteousness. This is my faith.
