Gesar!: The Wondrous Adventures of King Gesar (Tibetan Art and Culture Series)

Rating:
Summary: Who said only the Europeans have epics?
Review: I'll admit, if this book hadn't been required reading for a class I took on East Asian folklore, I probably never would've read "Gesar!" But, having read it, I have definitely gained a greater appreciation for the Tibetan cultural tradition.

"Gesar!" is a simply told story, understandable by all ages. Despite many culturally-specific elements, this is a universal story.

If you are looking for a less well-known epic tale, or just want a good read, I recommend "Gesar!"
