Know about the book -

Freud's Mahabharata is written by Alf Hiltebeitel and published by Oxford University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0190878355 (ISBN 10) and 9780190878351 (ISBN 13).

Though Freud never overtly refers to the Mahabharata, many of the Sanskrit epic's themes are illuminated by Freud's thought and, conversely, many incidents in the epic can be used to illustrate Freud's theories. In Freud's Mahabharata, Alf Hiltebeitel offers what he calls a "pointillist introduction" to a new theory about the Mahabharata based on Freud.
