Story of a land ripe with folklores and myths, where fantasy, beliefs, faith and cruel reality create a potent embrace of life.
It talks of people and their inner battles, of dreams and rotten realities,of the past and the present!
The legends detail the clash that brews with the onslaught of a western rationale on the rigid cultural orthodoxy of the land.

rakeshpm The evergreen classic in Malayalam. Read the Malayalam version years ago now curiosly reading the self translated English version.Lets See how well It goes. 2y
sahana.g2 @rakeshpm I was able to enjoy the classic in English since I am not a native malayali reader. While the translation is engrossing but i felt that the original essence was lost in between, i would say the magic would most certainly be in the rustic authentic piece. 2y
rakeshpm @sahana.g2 well, at some places though even translated by the author, the translation appears to be lost. Some characters were added in the English version. The Malayalam version became a landmark in Malayalam literature when it was first published. Still this is one of the books that you want to read and re read. 2y
