William Buck (1933?1970) was a Sanskritist, devoting his life?s work to modern retellings of the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and the unfinished Harivamsa
Few works in classical literature have reached as vast an audience as the Mahabharata. The story of the dynastic struggle between the Pandavas and Kauravas culminating in the great battle in the fields of Kurukshetra is a moral, religious and philosophical tale like no other. In this brilliantly original retelling of Vyasa?s epic, William Buck gives us a Mahabharata of great beauty and insight.
