One of India s finest novelists retells the two great Indian epics as well as some well-known tales from Hindu mythology and folklore.

In Gods, Demons and Others, he includes stories from Kalidasa s Sanskrit classic Abhijnana Shakuntalam, the Tamil epic Silappadikaram, the Shiv Purana and the Devi Bhagwatam. - from Amzon
