The Mahabharata, one of the longest books in the world, is a timeless classic.
The author has captivated her readers by succinctly writing about Arjuna, the protagonist in a refreshingly fast pace. The complex story is broken down into something easily understandable with several new insights and incidents. The book not only highlights Arjuna, the magnanimous figure acclaimed for his sincerity and archery skill, but also gives due importance to other characters that make Mahabharata an inde...

mahabharata as an epic is beyond comparison with anything else.the grand epic brings to life every emotion known to mankind.
there are so many characters tied in the knot together each born for a specific purpose .each character completely different to one another.
when i picked the book i was looking forward as to what the author has to add to the story interpreted many times before
the author chose to acknowledge ved vyasa in the beginning , paying respect to the greatest storyteller ever b...

Its a wonderfully narrated story taking u back into time when things were controlled by human and gods and one such person was Arjuna.


The author has done a magnificent job in narrating the side of Arjuna as we truly underestimate the contribution of his in those times.


A thumbs up and very well written. :)

Arjuna, the legendary character is brought to life in a vivid and endearing way. The epic Mahabharata is brought to life with contemporary style of writing. I personally love thrillers. And I have read all different versions of Mahabharata before. But the narrative held me engrossed throughout without letting me catch my breath, something which I thought only a thriller could do, shame on me.
Coming back to the book, the tale which is normally shown as good vs evil has many layers interwoven...

Was skeptical when I saw the details of the different character's who will be part of the book but the author did an amazing job of introducing the characters and weaving them into the story. Felt like I knew all of them for a very long time.
Loved the book and never thought Mahabharata could be told in such an interesting way. Liked the unique narration where each character's origin and end is told without interrupting the flow of the story.
Looking forward to the next book.

A great story with many anecdotes. It is a wonderful way to recall stories read a long time back and Anuja Chandramouli is a good story teller, which makes the book engrossing reading.

An excellent read. Brilliantly written, captivating and engaging us from Page 1 itself. This book shares the numerous exploits of the righteous and noble Pandavas, with special reference to the third Pandava brother, Arjuna. It shares the countless episodes of his and his brothers' lives, right from their childhood days to their final journey for the ascension to Heaven. It also contains a detailed account of the great Mahabharata war.

The author has quite a lucid vocabulary, which makes thi...

I had pre ordered this book and true to their word flipkart delivered it after it was officially launched.

Mahabharata has always been a fantasy for me. The characters, the mystical weapons, places, incidents etc, but this book “ARJUNA” is a comprehensive guide to get to know the nook and corner of the great epic. Well written and well researched. The author has detailed out the epic so well and has the reader captive till the very end.

The author’s language is very easy to comprehend. Bot...

The Mahabharata is a timeless classic and it never fails to amaze me.I have read many versions but still came across nuggets of information in this book. This book had me hooked from Page 1. The chapters on Karna and Abhimanyu deserve special mention and the latter was very moving.
Would have loved to have more on Arjuna and a little less on the other parts on the Mahabharata. There should have been more on the relationship with Krishna(big fan).
The Author is undoubtedly a 'New Age Classici...
