Laxmi Prasad Devkota - Translated by Padma Devkota

Laxmi Prasad Devkota wrote Muna Madan in 1936, a narrative poem in the traditional jhyaure folk metre that tells of a young husband's journey to Lhasa for trade, the grief of separation, and the tragedy of loss. The poem is one of the most celebrated works in Nepali literature. This edition presents Padma Devkota's English translation, making the poem accessible to readers beyond the Nepali-speaking world.
