An Indian Odyssey by Martin Buckley

An Indian Odyssey by Martin Buckley

The Ramayana - the Journey of Rama - is India's best-loved book, an inspiration to school-children, monks and moviemakers, yet it is virtually unknown in the Western world.

Sensual, earthly..incredibly well-informed... An engaging and powerful book * Daily Telegraph *
Essential... it brings the reader into the heart of the Indian subcontinent * Irish Times *
Travel writing with a difference as Buckley traces the route of the Ramayana, the great Indian epic, from north-west India to Sri Lanka, encountering "Marxists and Mystics" along the way. A brilliant blend of travelogue, history and romance * Scotland on Sunday *
A meditation on the mysteries of life masquerading as a rollicking road trip, in which Buckley heroically makes his way through the carnal to the divine... His India is a tumbling riot of brothels, beggars, bombs, road accidents, riots, temples... Woven into his own epic adventures is his raunchy and believable abridgement of the epic Ramayana, worthy Vikram Seth * Independent *
Buckley is a born story-teller * Observer *
