1.The Ramayana: A Shortened Modern Prose Version of the Indian Epic (Penguin Classics)The Ramayana: A Shortened Modern Prose Version of the Indian Epic (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $10.40

Customer Review:
I should say immediately that I have no background of any kind in Indian culture, myth or religion. So in reading this small volume I was a complete outsider and a complete beginner in the Ramayana epic. For me, this retelling (in prose) was an excellent first step into unknown territory. I was able... more info

4.A Tiger for MalgudiA Tiger for Malgudi
from Heinemann

Customer Review:
This book is a gem, it has very witty sentence structures that make you laugh out loud. It equally articulates the many phases that man goes through in life very aptly, using the tiger as a fine metaphor. A treasure that you can revisit and pass on from one generation to the next. For me it's R.K.... more info

Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
The story itself in timeless. Not enough good can be said about it.
As for this traslation, Narayan is a literay god. This presentation of the famous indian epic is very well accomplished and is a credit to the story. I have read many english versions of the Mahabharata, (the few that exist)... more info

7.Swami and FriendsSwami and Friends
from Vintage

Customer Review:
Here's a thought. Swami, R. K. Narayan's protagonist in Swami and Friends, is a forerunner of . . . take a deep breath . . . none other than Bart Simpson. Swaminathan, the plucky ten-year old, the classic irreverent underachiever, is always in one pot of hot water or another. He can be selfish,... more info

from Penguin Classics
Price: $11.90

Customer Review:
This is a story of the triumph good over evil. In some ways it is much like the many mythological stories told to young Indian children at temples and schools by their elders.
The important thing in those tales and in this one as well, is to realize that just because something is "evil", it... more info
