Rama becomes the first and only 'Indian' to invade another country, Lanka. After several encounters, Ravana is finally defeated. ( ) Interesting finale for this modern adaptation of the Ramayana epic, where the hero, Rama, comes to his climactic finish with his arch-nemesis, Ravana. Great story for those with little or no understanding of Ramayana, but a bit lightweight and too modern for those who want to know the true, original story. Ashok Banker does a great job of adapting the story for a modern audience. Note that the author, Ashok Banker, recommends that readers instead read his "Indian version" of the series, and not buy this book (see his review on amazon.com). Regrettably, the Indian series may only be purchased in India, so this may not be an option for most of us. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieRamayana Series (Book 6)
The original Ramayana--a classic tale of war between absolute Good and Evil--was written 3,000 years ago by Valmiki, a reformed thief-turned-sage. Now, with breathtaking imagination, Indian novelist Ashok K. Banker has recreated this epic tale for modern readers everywhere. Rama, king-in-waiting, has crossed the ocean, and the great war has begun. Ravana, lord of demons, unleashes terrible sorcery to deal a crushing blow to Rama’s forces. Before they can recover, he sends forth a legion of warbred rakshasas more terrible than any seen before, and the soil of Lanka runs red with the blood of Rama’s warriors. Still, the brave vanars and bears rally and fight on, despite the formidable odds. The war descends into a brutal maelstrom as champions die and heroes sacrifice their lives for Rama’s cause. And then Ravana commits the most dreaded act of all: rather than surrender Sita, he executes her before Rama’s eyes. On this darkest day, it hardly seems to matter that Rama’s exile is ended, and that he is now free to return to his homeland to claim his rightful place--as King of Ayodhya.
