Mahabharata: The Great War of the Bharata Clan

The Mahabharata - the largest epic of India and of the entire world - is a fascinating story, brimming with action, drama, passions, and … wisdom. It speaks to us about dharma, the correct way to live. Contained in its verses is the Bhagavad Gita, one of humanity’s greatest and most profound spiritual teachings.

Indica Books present here a wonderful comic version of the Mahabharata, which retells the epic in a comprehensive and accessible way, maintaining the main plotline intact. With beautiful artwork and well written dialogues, it is directed primarily towards young people and adults. 

Gol, the author of this comic, has succeeded in re-creating the environment and charactered that lived in the mythological India of five thousand years ago, when gods walked on earth. This adaptation follows the main plot, based on the enmity between the Pandava brothers and their wicked cousins, the Kauravas, through a series of thrilling and dramatic adventures which would lead to a devastating war involving all the kings of India, and would mark the end of an era.

The author of the present comic, Miguel Gomez Andrea, known by his pen name Gol, is a Spanish cartoonist and scriptwriter, actor, and playwright.
