R. K. Narayan’s 1972 retelling of the ancient Sanskrit epic distills the sprawling narrative of the Ramayana into a concise, elegant prose form. By focusing on the moral dilemmas and the spiritual journey of Rama, Narayan preserves the essential character of the original poem while making its profound cultural and ethical themes accessible to a contemporary global audience.
