"This perceptive and accessible edition brings Tulsidas's version [of the Ramayana], the most widely read across Northern India, to English-speaking audiences, giving readers a fresh glimpse into the tale's impressive energy."--Publishers Weekly Tulsidas's Rāmcaritmānas, written in the sixteenth century in a literary dialect of classical Hindi, has become the most beloved retelling of the ancient Ramayana story across northern India. The revered masterpiece recounts the epic story of Ram's exile and his journeys, and it is recited by millions of Hindus today. The Sea of Separation presents some of the poem's most renowned episodes--Ram's battles with demons, the kidnapping of his wife Sita by Ravana, his alliance with a troop of marvelous monkeys, and, finally, the god Hanuman's heroic journey to the island city of Lanka to find and comfort Sita. This new translation into free verse conveys the passion and momentum of the inspired poet and storyteller. No library descriptions found. |

The Rāmacaritamānas is a retelling of the events of the Sanskrit epic Ramayana, concerning the exploits of Rama, prince of Ayodhya. The great poem is also called Tulsi-krita Ramayana, or "The Ramayana of Tulsidas".
The poem revisits Ramayana of Valmiki, but is not a mere retelling of the Sanskrit epic. Where Valmiki has condensed the story, Tulsidas has expanded, and, conversely, wherever the elder poet has lingered longest, there his successor has condensed.
