The Song of King Gesar
The latest in Canongate's acclaimed Myth's Series, this is the extraordinary retelling by award-winning ethnic Tibetan writer Alai, THE SONG OF KING GESAR is brilliantly brought to life. It is one of the world's great epics, as significant for Tibetans as the Odyssey and Iliad for the ancient Greeks, and as the Ramayana and Mahabarata in India. Set partly in ancient Tibetan society, where evil spirits mingle with the lives of humans, and partly in modern day Tibet, The Song of KING GESAR tells of two lives inextricably entwined.
