  • Description

    Parva: A tale Of War, Peace, Love, Death, God And Man, by noted Kannada writer S. L. Bhyrappa, is a modern reconstruction of Mahabharata first published in 1979. The novel is written in the form of various narratives by the characters of Mahabharata.

    Summary Of The Book

    Parva: A tale Of War, Peace, Love, Death, God And Man looks at the Indian Epic Mahabharata from the perspective of some of its crucial characters. Starting off just before the Kurukshetra war, Kunti, Draupadi, Bheema and Arjuna take turns to reflect on their lives thus far. A third person account of the war with a philosophical undertone forms the rest of the novel.

    The novel is particularly noted for avoiding any mention of magical incidents in the epic. In doing that, the novel gives the Mahabharata a very modern and real life tone, with which the common man can associate better. Many of the incidents also have sociological reflections and notes which are relevant to the current generation.

    Parva: A tale Of War, Peace, Love, Death, God And Man is widely regarded as one of Bhyarappa’s best works and remains very famous in the Kannada literary circle and among readers. The novel has been reprinted on many occasions.

    Parva- The story of Mahabharta

    Mahabharta, from an event to a story and then to an epic or should say a mythical epic. For us Mahabharta as told either in the form of books or movies or serials is only in the last form, of a mythical epic.However Bhyrappa has done something paradoxical, he has written a novel, a fiction, which makes Mahabharta into an absolutely realistic event.It is a novel with a completely different perspective, the story of an event told in the form it actually seems to have happened. The characters ar...

    Shocked to see non-Availability of this master piece!!!

    People who have read this Master piece will know about Shri Byrappa's whole new approach towards modern literature.
    But SHOCKINGLY, this book isn't available in most of the book store & more surprisingly its not available with Flipkart too...!!! Which always been our source to source the books that we needed.
    About the book, one has to read this to understand the Great epic Mahabharata in whole new dimension revealed logically.. Explaining the character's character is awesome, its more logic...

    AMAZINGLY GOOD - a Must Read for ALL

    I am still searching for this book. Read 'Parva' in Sanskrit, thanks to Samskrita Bharati publication & Dr. Vishwasa's excellent translation. But also wanted to read its English translation. Gagandeep Singh's review does full justice to the book. I just like to say ---do---. Unfortunately not available in all the places I know - including Flipcart & amazon (the Sanskrit translation is plentifully available with SB) - a real magnum opus.
    Dhanyavadah, Shubhadinam.

    Simply awesome

    Firstly Biggest thanks to seller for packing the book so well! Not one crease on the book.
    Absolute 5star for that.
    Parva is a book that will make you think. Many books just take you away on a fantasy but this is not one of them. Such detailed research and thought has gone into writing it.
    A masterpiece from S.L. Bhyrappa
