paarthiban kanavu
I just finished reading this historical Tamil novel, dated back to 1960’s written by Kalki R Krishnamuthy, one of the pioneer novelists in TamilNadu.
This is the first novel of this magnitude, i have ever read, though i had access to small novels by sujatha and other novelists in Tamil. Kalki is just awesome and the way he explains a scene, in fact every scene is just awesome. I wonder anyone had done that in the past or even, any one can do in the future. The way Kalki mixed the hostorical characters in his own style with the learnings he had through books, is just fantastic.
The story line of Parthiban Kanavu is way back to 7th Century AD, when Chola Kings were under the control of Pallava Kings of ancient TamilNadu. Parthiban, a Chola King, dreams to have an Independent Chola kingdom and the story ends when Vikraman, son of Parthiban, makes it happen. Thanks Mercy for lending me a copy.
Now.. its Sivagamiyin Sabadham… in the queue. Happy Reading.
