Product Details
- Parva is one of the eighteen books of the epic Indian poem, the Mahabharata. This particular book focuses on the character of Bhishma, a respected warrior and leader who plays a pivotal role in the story. The book begins with Bhishma's decision to fight on the side of the Kuru kingdom, despite his personal reservations about their actions. As the war between the Kuru and Pandava kingdoms rages on, Bhishma becomes increasingly conflicted and ultimately meets a tragic end. This prose translation of the Bhishma Parva offers an accessible and engaging way to experience this classic work of Indian literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
