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.
