[[**The Mahabharata of Vyasa** is a cornucopious treasure house of stories. These**
11 books** are a series of** kathās** **from the mahā-epic**, in the śloka-by-śloka
English transcreation by **P. Lal**. Each volume carries a brief synopsis of the
tale and information about its protagonists. Eight of the volumes have introductions
by **Dr Pradip** **Bhattacharya**, two by **Prema Nandakumar** and one by **A. Harindranath**
which discuss their symbolism, myth and metaphoric interpretation. Our Kathās explore,
through Vyasa’s imagination and itihāsa-retelling, the riches of the ancient Indian
tradition of Suta story-weaving. Story and history, tale and detail, vision and 
revision coalesce in this entertaining and illuminating journey through a civilisation
that communicated lasting values and ideals by vivid oral means.
