Discover the depths of one of humanity’s oldest epics with Махабхарата: Ревизия смыслов by Petr Stepanovich Losev. This essential volume examines the ancient Indian Mahabharata—a vast poem of over 90,000 couplets spanning 18 books, often called a poetic encyclopedia of mythology, history, law, and philosophy. Losev navigates its dense narrative, from the legendary struggle between the Kuru and Pandava clans to the myriad embedded tales of gods, demons, sages, and heroes.
The book tackles enduring mysteries: Are the events historically real? How to interpret the complex relationships among characters like the Pandavas, Krishna, and Vyasa versus the Kauravas? What lies behind enigmatic myths such as the churning of the ocean or the dice game? Losev offers a “revision of meanings,” seeking clarity on contradictions and dark passages without sensationalism. This is a neutral, scholarly exploration for anyone intrigued by Indian epic tradition, offering fresh perspectives on one of the world’s greatest literary works. Price: 2713.00 RUR.
