review 1: It is often said that the books of our childhood offer a vivid door to our own pasts, and not necessarily for the stories we read there, but for the memories of where we were and who we were when we were reading them; to remember a book is to remember the child who read that book. Simply put, Mrityunjaya is about the search for meaning of being is a man's eternal quest. The characters of Vrishali and Shon for example, are given such appropriate voices, that you are left wondering whether Sawant had the fortune of stumbling upon some long lost letters written by them.Even if your introduction to Karna is through the Mahabharata alone, you cannot help but feel empathy for the eldest son of Kunti. In fact, Mrityunjaya only deepens it. Summing up, Mrityunjaya is one of the mos... moret eloquently narrated books and is most certainly a book worth adding to one's reading collection.
review 2: One word "extraordinary"!! This is one of those rare masterpieces that you would definitely want in your book shelf. This novel gives you 'KARNA', as a hero, a warrior and presents him as man at a war with his fate. Such is the charisma of this unsung hero that your heart goes out to him.The viewpoints presented by various characters are so enthralling and self-exploratory that one truly appreciates the magnanimity and grandeur of the epic MAHABHARAT. Hats off to Sir Shivaji Sawant. less
