Parthiban’s Dream
English 408 pages 1 edition
Chola Emperor Parthiban dreams of a day when his people will attain independence from the Pallavas. But when he dies on the battlefield, it falls to his son Vikramanan to realize this dream. Packed with suspense, intrigue, revenge and romance, Parthiban Kanavu is a pacy historical novel in which valour and integrity triumph over evil, and lovers separated by dynastic affiliations overcome obstacles to be united in matrimony. Written in simple and elegant prose, the novel is an important milestone in Kalki’s illustrious literary career, offering tantalizing perspectives not just of his literary style but also his unequivocal views on politics and war and their impact on society. His characters never conform to the binaries of good and bad, instead they portray the various shades of grey and the ambiguities that encapsulate what it means to be human.
