well.I am fortunate to read original Kannada version and this was my first bhyrappa novel!. oh. what an experience..its most humanized mythological masterpiece I have ever read..I liked self reflecting monologues that each character engages in.be it bheema,Arjuna or draupadi..its written in most innovative technique known in Kannada lit..Parva means Festival in Sanskrit. And it also means chapter or lesson...Parva uses monologue as a technique for the non-mythological retelling of the Mahabharata...It is written by acclaimed Kannada author S L Byrappa . I have read this book in two languages One in the language it was originally written Kannada and in english ... Dr. K. Raghavendra Raos translation is not only true to the topic, but also gives complete justice to the book.( i was afraid the original essence will be lost )In
A brilliant retelling of the Mahabharata as an ancient Indian political battle with morally grey actors. Bhyrappa clearly did a lot of research and it shows in how geography and history combine to give plausible political tensions (like the Panchala-Kuru divide). I liked that everything had a rational explanation and that the plot was devoid of divinity. I would rate it 4.5 stars, one less for what I felt was the treatment of Karna as a minor character, and, what I felt was, the lazy treatment
I was supposed to read this book with my friend, i recommended this book to her. She even bought it. But unfortunately due to some circumstances, we couldn't read it together. I am sure she will finished it sooner.Anyway for me this was the best Mahabharata book i have ever read. I love the way story went back and forth. And i also admired how author used multi linear narrative. Those who are my friends know how crazy i am when it comes to Bhyrappa's books. No doubt why this book was my 11th
I read the Tamil translation of this Kannada novel (பருவம). It is a very notable modern renderning of the Mahabharata. The author deconstructs the multiple layers of the story and presents it as essentially a great human drama set in the socio political, cultural landscape of ancient India..All references to supernatural elements in the story are removed. The novels narrative succeeds in beautifully portraying the inner struggles and conflicts of the various characters along with the outward
This has become my favorite retelling of Mahabharata. A retelling of Mahabharata without any divine elements, or mythological elements. I loved how he gave reasonable logical explanations for the magic stuff. For eg :- Kunti doesn't get sons because she prayed to Gods. Gandhari's son's weren't born from a pound of flesh. Bhima's mother wasn't Goddess Ganga . It makes you ponder on the question what is Dharma Who does the plant belong, the seed or the soil
