Narration Concering Books मृत्युंजय
The search for the meaning of Being is man's eternal quest and the subject of his greatest creations. Shivaji Sawant's Mrityunjaya is an outstanding instance of such a literary masterpiece in which a contemporary Marathi novelist investigates the meaning of the bewildering skein that is life through the personae of the Mahabharata protagonists. For over two decades since its first publication the vast non- Marathi and non-Hindi readership remained deprived of this remarkable exploration of the human psyche till the publication of this English translation by the Writers workshop – a contribution for which there is much to be grateful for.Mrityunjaya is the autobiography of Karna, and yet it is not just that. With deceptive case, Sawant brings into play an exceptional stylistic innovation by combining six "dramatic soliloquies" to form the nine books of this novel of epic dimensions. Four books are spoken by Karna. These are interspersed with a book each from the lips of his unwed mother Kunti, Duryodhana (who considers Karna his mainstay), Shon (Shatruntapa, his foster-brother, who here-worships him), his wife Vrishali to whom he is like a god and, last of all, Krishna. Sawant depicts an uncanny similarity between Krishna and Karna and hints at a mystic link between them, investing his protagonist with a more-than-human aura to offset the un-heroic and even unmanly acts which mar this tremendously complex and utterly fascinating creating of Vyasa.

The Mahabharat is my favorite epic. Ive read numerous versions of it and Mrityunjay was always on my list. Birth over Worth - an unfortunate yet central theme of Karnas life is something that is sadly, still relevant even in todays times. You just cant help but feel the strongest sense of empathy for him.Hes always been my favorite character in the Mahabharat and the book certainly reaffirms that. Karna, you might have had certain character flaws, but you are my hero.A beautiful book, powerfully written that captures the character of Karan with such an Essence of his values, struggles and decisions between limited choices. The end chapters of the book has left me with such an emptiness as the one that can be imagined after a war is over. This is a masterpiece of the Mahabharata .
It is one of the greatest books i have ever read!must read at least once.

This has to be the best book I have ever read in my life. It took me 6 months to find a copy of this book here in the US and finally had to ship it from India. Although it has been translated in many languages, something is always lost in translation so I would recommend people to read it in the original Marathi language.The novel is basically an interpretation of the epic Mahabharat from Karan's (a key character in Mahabharat) perspective. It explains his mindset, the choices he made and the
If you have read the Mahabharata in any form, this is a must read. You do not have to be a fan of Karna, read it for a different POV where the Pandavas are not always right. This book takes you through the tumultuous journey of Karna and you'll ride it with him. I read the Hindi and English versions simultaneously for a better grasp on the story (not really used to reading in Hindi).Ashwathamann was a surprise - his wisdom and his love for Karna, wasn't aware of that at all and how a man like
What a great book on Karna.
