Although this piece of work is something I hold dear to my
heart; I didn’t expect to see it distributed as an eBook.
Since I write for a hobby, I neither expect to see it in
print nor envisioned monetary benefit from it however; the advent of eBook is heaven
sent. It is doing what cable television and YouTube did to discarded old films
that suddenly became a gold mine for collectors. Similarly, pieces of works
gathering dust in the attics and dungeons can become best sellers in the cyber
world of eBooks. If you write for a
hobby; it’s time to find those “best sellers never told”…so you thought with a
giggle eons ago. It’s time for the sleeping dragons to roar in flames!
This is how it will look on your tablets and mobiles...
The following epic is strange as it is stunning. I could not
imagine how my people got hold of such a work of genius. It is the World’s
longest epic now that it has been translated into the English language. It
takes a number of reciters to complete the epic in days of continuous singing
monologue. All of the 17 episodes have now been translated.
When I did the following translation, I resisted the
temptation of looking at earlier works because I did not want to be influenced
by their use of language. I have to admit, I struggled with my own dialect.
Like any other, classical Maranaw belongs to the ancients and I am no different
from any in the present generation.
This translation is the first ever attempt to write the epic
in a story form. If there are other works in the past of the same format, I am
not aware of it.

unfortunately, it is not available in the Saudi Arabia.
