Menen, Aubrey. The Ramayana. New York. Charles Scribners. 1954. 276 pps. 8vo. First edition. Hardcover. fine copy in fine dust jacket. The Ramayana is one of the great epics of Hindu literature. It probably was begun around 1000 B.C. and assumed its present form a few centuries before the Christian Era. Its 24,000 couplets reveal the atmosphere, ideals, and customs of ancient Hindu life, and it embodies the general life ideal toward which Hindu men and women aspire even today. It is known that the Ramayana has been revised and added to during the 3000 years of its existence, and it occurred to Aubrey Menen to rewrite the epic in modern prose and in the form he imagined it to have been originally. The result is a completely charming mixture of humor and heroics. Book is in vg + condition - d/j is mint covered in mylar. $50.00 Book #303 from Friends of the Vista Library, Vista, CA
