Friends,
Discuss here the everlasting works of Amarar Kalki's historical novels like sivagaamiyin sabatham, paandiyan parisu and Paarthipan kanavu.
I happened to read the english translation of "parthiban kanavu".
Commendable attempt.
Though it was written fifty years ago, still most loved historical novel in Tamil. Great!
I have read Sivagami sabadham,Parthiban Kanavu, Ponniyin selvan and Alai osai.
I liked the way he describes about the place or people. I really longed to live in those king rule period.
Still vandhiya thevan live in hearts of many people and I read somewhere that even Kamalji hesitated to do the role as the way kalki described made ppl to have wild imagination about him.
Rajaraja chozhan introduction is excellent in ponniyin selvan.
Alai osai novel was good. His opinion about Delhi and Tajmahal was reflected in this novel.
I read these novels long back. I should refresh it again :-)
I hav read the ponniyin selvan many times , whenever i read i myself imagine as the character vandiyadevan , bcos he is very humourous person i liked that very much. As u told we all missed the oppurtunities of living during the reign of raja raja cholan , its said to be PORKALAM for the people.
which is the most beautifully etched character in Kalki's novels? opinions...?
Excellent works
selva kumar, is he written paandiyan parisu??? :? i think, paandiyan parisu was written by paavendhar bharathi dasan.Quote:
