PARTHIBAN'S DREAM
translated from Tamil by Nirupama Raghavan 
art
N Bindhu Malini

King Parthiban has a dream . . . to make the Chola kingdom the most powerful in the region. But he is killed early in battle and it is his son, Vikraman, who must take on the formidable Pallava emperor, Chakravarti Narasimha Varman, to realise his father's desire. Does Parthiban's dream come true? And who is the mysterious Shivanadiyar who intervenes at regular intervals in Vikraman's life? The first of the immensely popular historical trilogy, Parthiban Kanavu, from one of the most well-known writers in Tamil, Kalki Krishnamurthy, has been translated by a 15-year-old teenager of today. Pacy, exciting and resonant with the romance of the original telling, this book offers young readers a complex, happening past in current, compelling language.
218 pages, 8.5" x 5.5", black and white, soft cover, for 13 years and above
