discovered Asian mythology<br />

through Joseph Campbell's<br />

Power of Myth series will<br />

delight in this marvelous<br />

retelling of an episode from<br />

the Balinese version of the<br />

ancient Indian epic, The<br />

Mahabharata. In the story, the<br />

hero Bhima travels to the<br />

afterlife much as Dante did in<br />

The Divine Comedy or<br />

Odysseus did in The Odyssey.<br />

Along the way he encounters<br />

the gruesome punishments in<br />

store <strong>for</strong> the sinners of the<br />

world, and also the sweet<br />

rewards of heaven <strong>for</strong> the<br />

righteous. His adventures are<br />

told with an enchanting<br />

combination of broad humor<br />

and serene acceptance of<br />

life's inevitable vagaries. The<br />

accompanying photographs<br />

portray the gilded panels from<br />

the ceiling of the Palace of<br />

Justice on Bali. These English Little, Brown<br />
