Description
The greatest Indian story ever told of a war between two factions of a family, The Mahabharata has continued to sway the imagination of its readers over the past centuries. While the dispute over land and kingdom between the warring cousins-the Pandavas and the Kauravas-forms the chief narrative, the primary concern of The Mahabharata is about the conflict of dharma. These conflicts are immense and various, singular and commonplace. Throughout the epic, characters face them with no clear indications of what is right and what is wrong; there are no absolute answers. Thus every possible human emotion features in The Mahabharata, the reason the epic continues to hold sway over our imagination. The complete and unabridged Sanskrit classic, now masterfully and accessibly rendered for contemporary readers by Bibek Debroy.

Commendable Job Done by Mr. Debroy
The packaging done by Flipkart was pathetic at the least. They wrapped the big corpus in thin plastic sheet and then they just put it in a big cartoon with NOTHING to prevent the corpus from rolling in any direction as a result of which my Box was torn. All books are intact though so I didn't return the product. They could have used those air pillows that we these days to put the thing firmly in place.

Nice product
Box was damaged but books were in good condition. Can't comment about the content as I haven't read them. It will take almost a year to read. But first impression is great.

Great product
-5 star for the delivery agent.
5 star for flipkart and it's services.
No comment on the product itself as I don't think as of now I'm able enough to comment on this mammoth translation of the Sanskrit epic. Its translation of the unabridged version and very nuanced. Sir debroy do not miss out even on a single detail. The translation is actually word to word translation so that the meaning of the actual sanskrit text remains the same. You'll get it more clearly once you actually start readi...

Brilliant
I'm very impressed with the product as well as the delivery. The set contains 10 books of Mahabharat. The narrative is very beautifully translated with the essence of the main Sanskrit text. But the set box is torn in sides, it's breaking down which is not good. However all the books are in good condition. An esset of lifetime for every Mahabharata lover!

Must buy!
Go for it!!
This comes in a premium book-pack!
Review- Of all the various versions there are, the author has painstakingly given this version his time by going through the Archives, bridged and unabridged versions which exist. This version covers most of the aspects in detail.
Please like this review if you find it useful.

Q:Is the book divided into parva?
A:It is direct translation of the MB Critical Edition (and NOT some collection of stories). So, by that, yes, it is one Parva after another.
However, if you mean One Book=One Parva type, then NO.

Q:If I order this book will it come in a torn state, as mentioned by all the buyers in the review?
A:Yes. The box is too thin and lacks strength for holding the Book set. Even after handling with care, it got damaged. I had to put many tapes to keep it in shape.
