Description
Magadh is widely regarded as one of the most important works of modern Indian poetry. A chorus of narrators - commoners, statesmen, nameless wanderers - pieces together the histories of ancient cities and kingdoms on the Indian subcontinent, their rise and fall. In spare, haunting, incantatory language appears timeless, Magadh tells of transience.
