Mahabharata (3)
About This Novel
"Mahabharata" and "Ramayana" are known as the two major Indian epics. "Ramayana" was translated by Mr. Ji Xianlin and published in the 1980s. The Mahabharata is four times as long as the Ramayana. The book is divided into eighteen chapters. The core story is set against the background of Indian society in the era of strife among nations. It narrates the struggle between two descendants of the Bharata tribe, the Kolulu and Pandava tribes, for the right to inherit the throne. This so-called encyclopedic epic is large in scale and complex in content. So far, there are only a fine revision of the Mahabharata completed by Indian Sanskrit scholars in half a century and the previous English translation in the world, while translations by French, American and other scholars have all failed midway. In the late 1980s, under the support and leadership of Mr. Jin Kemu, the translation project of the Chinese version of the Mahabharata was launched. After the hard work of a group of scholars, it took 17 years to complete the project and handed it down to the world with the support of Mr. Huang Baosheng. It has become one of the only three texts in the world today.
