Over time, the epic has also fascinated those who love a tale well told. In its telling, however, the story has lost much of its richness and nuance, and the characters have become one-dimenssional cut-outs---either starkly good or irredeemably evil. In this reinterpretation, Meena Arora nayak analyses how the values espoused in the Mahabharata came to be distorted into meagre archetypes, creating customary laws that injure society even today." -- $c From publisher's website. 530 $a Also available as an e-book. 630 00 $a MahaÌbhaÌrata $x Criticism, interpretation, etc. 650 0 $a Good and evil in literature. 650 0 $a Hinduism. 650 0 $a Hinduism and culture. 630 07 $a MahaÌbhaÌrata. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01356112 650 7 $a Hinduism and culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00957166 650 7 $a Hinduism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00957121 650 7 $a Good and evil in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00944908 630 07 $a MahaÌbhaÌrata $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4211841-4 650 7 $a Das BoÌse $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4007524-2 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317013602.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C9328FC0586511EA978CCE3397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
