When I look at the name and cover, I
actually become tempted to read it one go!
Arjun without a doubt is another side story that highlights the voice of Arjun and Draupadi all through the diverse phases of the fight. As Mahabharata has turned into each home's discussion, it feels dull to peruse something which you definitely know.
A considerable measure of the happenings in the book is something that is known not who has perused one type of Mahabharata or the other. The principle recognizing element of this book from alternate books is that, yes, it has Arjun as the title character, yet it likewise has a novel method for moving the account with two storytellers. Arjun alongside Draupadi are the two storytellers and this decision of storytellers is something that I might want to praise Sweety for. With a ton of center tossed on simply both of them, who appear to be driven to the epic, Sweety figures out how to retell the happenings of Mahabharata without breaking a sweat. There is very little concentrate on any of the characters separated from Krishna and each of the characters are utilizations as plot components viably.
At whatever point somebody expounds on a legendary character, he/she conveys a danger. What's more, the danger gets to be more noteworthy in the event that some person has officially expounded on the same character all the more as of late. There is as of now a book on Arjun by Anuja Chandramouli, which was distributed on January 2013. What's more, along these lines, we ought to respect the writer of the book under audit for wandering into a hazardous territory and turning out triumphant with such a brilliantly composed book.
In spite of the fact that we as a whole know Arjuna as a forceful warrior, this book permits us to see the enthusiastic side of him too. There is most likely he was an extraordinary bowman, yet he was an individual moreover. This book reveals the veil and tosses light on the genuine man behind the attire of a warrior. You become more acquainted with him as a child, as a sibling, as an understudy, as a spouse, as an adversary, and above all, as an individual. You come to know his sentiments when he needed to share his significant other among his siblings. You come to know his sentiments when Yudhisthir bet Draupadi in the court of Duryodhana. You come to know his emotions when he needed to face his relatives in the war. You come to know his emotions when he lost his child Abhimanyu in the war. What's more, you come to know his emotions towards Karna and Eklavaya (his opponents), and Draupadi (his better half).
When I got the book, I in a split second preferred the dialect. The book is composed in first individual - some in Arjun's voice and the other in Draupadi's. I appreciated it tremendously. All these circumstances, when understanding this epic, I was a spectator - viewing the story unfurl from a corner. Be that as it may, perusing the story in first individual point of view changes it all. You feel the character's feelings and it keeps you required in the book.
There was one thing which I didn't care for. The story just grabs from where it is left off with no appearance of who the storyteller of that part is. In some cases I needed to peruse a few passages to comprehend whether it was Draupadi's Point of View or Arjun's. What's more, once in a while I needed to about-face and begin perusing again once I caught on. So it was a touch of disappointing.
What Didn't Work For Me
• The part of Krishna as the deliverer of Draupadi, while Dusshashon was attempting to unrobe her, has been bafflingly forgotten. So as to complement the uniqueness of Draupadi, the part of Arjun's different spouses have been put down. (Draupadi, particularly, dependably begrudged the Naga Princess, Uloopi, to whom Arjun lost his virginity)
• The characters of Drona, Karna, and Pitamah Bhishma have not been legitimately stressed with a specific end goal to set up the amazingness of Arjun. Particularly Radheya ( Karna) has been gigantically attacked quite recently to make Arjun a legend, beyond question.
• The story hop slices starting with one scene then onto the next. Somebody who is not knowledgeable with The Mahabharata may think that its hard to get up to speed with all the remaining details.
I would prescribe this to all the Mahabharata fans, particularly to Arjuna fans. I can hardly wait to purchase the correct book and add it to my "Mahabharata based Fictions" accumulations :)
The conceivable drawback of the book is its inability to put an excessive number of new focuses over. Crisp individual picturization doesn't conveys a feeling of wow component to the table. Exclusive standards misfire out before the end of the book as Mahabharata remains Mahabharata and not change generally.
Regardless of how often we read this epic, we can never truly perceive who was great, who was not; who was correct, who wasn't right. There falsehoods the enchantment.
Delightful work.
My Rating 3/5
