GN Devy - Mahabharata: The Epic and the Nation
Thoughts I found this book when looking for a copy of G.N. Devy’s other book (India: A Linguistic Civilization). I read through it in a sitting because it was quite short (I’d say it’s about 180 pages in length). Devy’s work has always been hard to read, not because he’s a poor writer - he is excellent - but because it’s dense writing, efficient to a fault. This book is a little different, perhaps because I’m familiar with the themes of the Mahabharata from reading the Debroy translation of the BORI Critical Edition....
