Shivaji Sawant’s Mrutunjaya...a classic marathi literary piece... As I started going thruogh this book.... many thoughts kept flooding my mind, as from childhood only, we all had heard great stories about Suryaputra, Danshur, Sarvashrestha Dhanurdhar Karna...
Shivaji Sawant in this literary classic has gone far beyond present authors in vividly putting the whole life of Karna in front of us... the best thing I liked about this book is the way author puts himself in the shoes of Karna, Kunti, Shona, Duryodhana, Shrikrishna, Vrushali and tells the whole life-story of Karna with many anecdotes in First Person Singular...
How lucidly he coveys the feelings of all characters whom he had used as the first person....while reading, our mind races through the thoughts of Karna, Kunti, Duryodhana, Shona, Vrushali, Shrikrishna....about the vagaries that each one has faced through their lives....how everyone speaks about Danveer, Mahaparakrami Karna... his struggles, sorrows and his undisputed practice for perfection in all arts of war... Who so ever reads this book is going to read this book again and again and again....
This captivating, inspirational book captures all experiences of each struggling individal and that makes it ’All in one book’ .... As it occurs to every person reading this book, this is a truely great book with captivating personifications and the chain of thoughts that goes on racing through our mind visualising every moment of epic Mahabharta... As said in the review comments over here .... After Vyas, lineage of epic writers includes the Shivaji Sawant for his masterpiece ...Mrutunjaya Undoubtedly this is the best book I had ever read... Hats off... to Shivaji Sawant and his classic literary masterpiece... Mrutunjaya!
