Publisher's Synopsis

""Selections from The Hindu Ramayana"" is a literary work by Edwin Arnold that presents a condensed version of the epic Hindu poem ""Ramayana."" The book provides a glimpse into the story of Rama, a prince who is exiled from his kingdom and embarks on a journey to rescue his wife Sita from the demon king Ravana. The book is divided into seven chapters, each of which presents a different aspect of the story. The first chapter introduces the main characters and sets the stage for the epic adventure. The next five chapters focus on different episodes in Rama's journey, including his battles with various demons and his eventual confrontation with Ravana. Throughout the book, Arnold's language is rich and descriptive, capturing the beauty and complexity of the original poem. The book also includes illustrations by Warwick Goble, which bring the story to life and enhance the reader's understanding of the narrative. Overall, ""Selections from The Hindu Ramayana"" is an accessible and engaging introduction to one of the most important works of Hindu literature. It is a must-read for anyone interested in mythology, epic poetry, or the rich cultural heritage of India.THIS 150 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Hindu Literature, by Edwin Arnold.
