There were lot of books which is
available out there that talk about Mahabaratha. Since this is one of the two
major epics of India, most of us would know the story as a whole. Credits
should be given to various authors who has relentlessly written or translated
this epic in various languages. Though the main book is written by Ved Vyas,
all the books that followed were based on this actual epic. We have also seen
the epic on television as tele-serial or as a movie in the big screen.
I too had the same thoughts when
I saw the title. I must also openly admit that I knew the epic in full but only
when I started reading this book, I started feeling the truth. Please note that
like most of the readers, even I have read only the generic version and not the
real version – written by Ved Vyas.
The book is a real lengthy one
and the cover page itself would have given you the idea of what this book is
all about, if you knew the epic in full. I got it right at the very first
instance. Vivek Dutta has taken a different approach to the story. As you know,
the story cannot be changed but the approach can. This unique way of presenting
the known story by incorporating all the minute details is what that makes this
book, a real special one.
What did I like the most about
the book?
1. Known
story but a different/unique approach
2. Detailed
inclusion of characters
3. The
story is more like a play - conversational
4. Evokes
interest since the story was written in such a way
5. Great
attempt which has captured the emotions as it is
I would highly recommend this
book because this is an epic which is loved by all the Indians and this version
wouldn’t fail to impress you.
