Gol's Mahabharata

The Mahabharata constitutes together with the Ramayana the cultural base of India. Unlike most ancient epics (such as the Iliad and Odyssey), this immense epic poem is still read and heard on the subcontinent as a living culture, and valuable lessons are still drawn from its verses. Within its 100,000 shlokas (often said to be seven times longer than the Iliad and Odyssey combined) it includes almost any subject of human interest.

This exhibition houses reproductions of the comic that Miguel Gómez Andrea, alias Gol, made inspired by that great universal epic, whose axis, in the words of its editor, the Indologist Álvaro Enterría, is dharma, that is, "that which sustains the cosmic order , social and personal, the law, the nature of the universe, society and man. In it, the visitor will have the opportunity to know and appreciate different episodes of this fabulous story, but with the addition that he will be able to do it in Spanish and in the unmistakable style of Gol.
