The Mahabharata is the story of the Pandavas and the Kauravas. But woven into its colossal tapestry are hundreds of smaller stories, each providing a unique insight into the main theme. This collection tells of Savitri, the loyal wife who was not afraid to bargain with the Lord of Death for her husband's life, of Shibi, the righteous king, who was prepared to sacrifice his life to save that of a pigeon's, of the innocent Devyani, whose love for Kacha was doomed to a tragic end, of Shachi, whose devotion protected her husband, Indra, from the forces of evil and of Nala and Damayanti, who face all calamities and win back happiness.

BUDDHIST STORIES HC

Gautam Buddha was one of the most exceptional of free thinkers. His teachings influenced millions of people. This Amar Chitra Katha's book is a compilation of stories about Buddhism. The first tells the story of Buddha himself and his journey to enlightenment. Angulimala is the story of a murderous dacoit whose life changed when he met Buddha. Amrapali, the dancer, had the world at her feet but chose to give up all and follow Buddha. The ugly but wise King Kusha wins the love of his wife, Princess Prabhavati, through perseverance. The Acrobat and Other Buddhist Tales are invaluable.
