As the divinely beautiful Draupadi rose from the fire, a voice rang out from the heavens foretelling a terrible destiny. ''She will cause the destruction of countless warriors.'' And so begins one of the most fabulous stories of all time and a South Asian classic. ''Mahabharata'' plunges us into a wondrous & ancient world of romance & adventure. This exciting new rendition condenses the epic into a fast-paced novel that fully retains the majestic mood of the original. It recounts the history of the 5 Pandava brothers & their celestial wife. Cheated of their kingdom & sent into exile by their envious cousins, they set off on a journey in which they encounter mystical sages, mighty kings, & a host of demons. Profound spiritual themes underlie the enthralling narrative.
