The Ramayana, Book 5 of 6: Ramayan of Valmiki (Forgotten Books)

Book Description:

"The Ramayana is one of the two epic Hindu poems, the other being the Mahabharata. The Ramayana describes a love story between Rama, an ancient King, and Sita, who is captured by Ravan, the King of Ceylon. Rama lays siege to Ceylon and wins back Sita. The parallels to the Iliad are obvious, but the details are very different." (Quote from sacred-texts.com)
