Arjuna versus Karna
Duryodhan versus Bheem
Shikandin versus Bheeshma
Dhritarashtra versus himself
The war between the two sets of cousins is ready to blow up. Krishna has just finished singing the Gita to Arjuna. The war is about to start….and this is a war like no other with boons, curses, tricks, strategies and games deployed to maximise each side’s chances of victory.
The Book of Killings is the eagerly awaited third instalment of the Mahabharata trilogy, which began explosively with The Book of Vows and was then followed by The Book of Discoveries. Imagined afresh and composed in a style that captures the power, charm and ambiguity of Vyasa’s Mahabharata, this book dramatizes the 18-day epic war and its aftermath in the Mahabharata.
Grounding his telling in the original Sanskrit version, Majmudar has recreated the ancient epic for a contemporary audience. His finest work yet, this is one of the most accessible, magical and unputdownable retellings of the Mahabharata.
