MAHABHARATA

DICE GAME AND EXILE (Large Print)

Beschreibung

Popular culture shows Queen Panchali passively resisting, clinging to her clothes, as Dushasana rips them off in open court. Really? In her situation, what would you do? Yes, that's what Alagan portrays in his novel. How did Duryodhana defend this heinous deed-outraging the queen's modesty? Hear his words; they might move you. After all, the queen had married all five of the Pandava brothers and they took turns spending time with her; and this was during an age when a woman's modesty and chastity were of paramount value. Karna, the bosom friend of Duryodhana and anti-hero whom many of you empathize with and many women all over the world swoon over even to this day, was present during the disrobing. What did Karna have to say? Hear his words. See if you can find fault with him. Alagan renders myths and legends into believable history because recent discoveries arguably prove that Mahabharata is based on true events. The plausible plots, enigmatic characters, and realistic dialogue in his novel will leave you wondering where fiction stops and antiquity starts. Enjoy Panchali floor Dushasana; listen to Duryodhana justify the outrage; and see if you still love and respect Karna.

Autor

At age 16, Eric Alagan grabbed an entry-level job in the aviation industry where he learned the intricacies of cleaning toilets and making lousy coffee for mechanics. He was the youngest labourer in Singapore’s fledgling aviation industry, and also the best looking. The former was a fact, and the latter was a hope. In time, he graduated to fixing airplanes and engines. Twenty years later, he slipped into the corporate suites but kept his tool box behind his desk. It was a conversation piece—grease monkey made good. But his secret—the tool box kept him rooted. After swimming with sharks for a further twenty-plus years, he retired to pursue his passion—writing. Eric has published fiction and non-fiction books. Married with three adult children, Eric considers himself fortunate - the children take after his wife. His hobbies include road cycling, philately, and reading books. His wife continues to love him. Like Creation, her love remains a mystery for him. He retains his tool box—true. Continues to brew lousy coffee—also true. He is getting balder by the day because his wife loves him. Yes, go figure. Or pose your question in the reviews and he’ll reveal the secret surrounding his thinning hair.
