Hardcover. Etat : New. 1st Edition. Contents: 1. Hastinapura. 2. Warrior. 3. Pacification. 4. The Moral. 5. The Sign of Death. Note on Poetics. Bibliography. Index. So Bhisma, the son of Sastanu, Grand-father of the Bharatas, Learned, a knower of time and place, knower of truth, aware of all dharma A plethora of complex and nuanced characters populate the Sanskrit epic Mahabharata. One in particular stands tall even today as the face of moral authority Bhisma Devavrata, the eldest of the Kuru clan. In this book, the prolific scholar of Indic and Greek classics, Kevin McGrath, studies in microscopic detail the authority of this pitamaha, grand-father /patriarch, and explores why he still resonates with 21st century India. Does Bhisma leave a lasting impression on us because of his steadfast loyalty and maintaining of vows, even when dharma dictates that he do otherwise? Or, if we could challenge conventional wisdom, is it because Bhisma (and not Arjuna) is the sole recipient and embodiment of cosmic inspiration from Krisna? Relying on close and careful readings of the Bombay and Pune Critical editions of the grand epic, and drawing mainly on the text of the latter, this book describes the manner in which Bhisma negotiates the tortuous path of honourable and principled living. It describes how Bhisma s express decisions pave the way for the collapse of his clan and the partition of the kingdom, despite his consistent efforts to prevent it. This book is the first study to view Bhisma as a hero and moral authority. This elegant literary exploration into one of the world s great epics will interest students and scholars of South Asian studies, cultural studies, and the classics. N° de réf. du vendeur 124520
