El Mahabhárata contado por una niña

The Mahabharata, the great Indian epic, recounts a fascinating story of gods and men, of adventures, dangers, and disputes between two feuding families: the Pandavas and the Kauravas. It celebrates the exploits of the god Krishna and Prince Arjuna, a hero of wondrous altruism and the undisputed protagonist of the victories and terrible defeats narrated, which will evoke powerful emotions in the reader. Samhita Arni's version, which she began writing and illustrating at only eight years old and which was published in India when she was twelve, is a modern and highly original adaptation. In its spontaneity, we find a sharply critical tone toward the epic's central theme: war. The author opens the doors to Indian mythology and offers young people and adults alike a fresh perspective on this classic of world literature.
