Narrated by Hollywood actors, Dominic Keating (Star Trek) and Jean Gilpin (X-Men), Light of the North Star is a mixed-media epic poem that tells the tale of two empires from Ancient Greece and India following the Trojan War and the flood that submerged the city of Dwaraka.
"Bhattacharya is a talented and elegant writer who is breaking new ground by fashioning an epic poem from this little-known story. Illustrated throughout with full-color artwork by debut illustrator Fabre, the result is a lavishly described adventure that spans continents."
An updated Odyssey that enthralls the reader in melody.
"Bhattacharya succeeds in telling a new kind of story in an old form. By using the language of the classics, he brings together two histories often pitted at odds in Western rhetoric. Rather than an “eastern” version of a “western” story, he artfully weaves the two parts of the worlds together, displacing assumptions of western precedence. By honoring both the Mahabarata and the Iliad, two historical feats of literature come into dialogue."
