Bloomsbury Mythology Collection by Ami Ganatra [Paperback]

The book highlights two classics, Ramayana Unravelled and Mahabharata Unravelled, which explore and address key questions about the two great Indian epics.

Ramayana Unravelled discusses how the Ramayana has inspired storytellers across cultures and centuries, yet certain questions about the story remain, such as Rama's motivations, his relationship with Sita, and the portrayal of women like Sita, Shurpanakha, and Kaikeyi. The book aims to clarify these conundrums and explain why the Ramayana remains beloved.

Mahabharata Unravelled delves into the enduring relevance of the Mahabharata and tackles lingering questions and myths about its characters, events, and societal roles, particularly focusing on women's roles, the details of the war, and post-war developments. Both books seek to clarify the complexity of these epics and their continued significance today.
