A much read and widely acclaimed work of Jnanpith winner M T Vasudevan Nair, the book is a real treat for the readers. This work is mainly dealing with the giant epic Mahabharatha and has a different viewpoint. Author tries to see the whole complicated story of the great legend of Mahabharatha in the eyes of Bhima, the second among pandavas.
Author has definitely done a lot of research in collecting all available documents from all over the country as he deals with such a complicated epic. And further he raises his own view points concerning lord Krishna. He portrays Krishna as a simple warrior who is immensely skilled at using "Chakrayudh" and is a greatly intelligent personnel who is the greatest ally of the pandavas.
Also he discloses revolutionary findings about Yudhishtira and his paternity. Of course concerning Bhima also he puts down the well known myths of birth of the Pandavas. Also he takes in the fore front another love story of the bhima and droupadi.
Altogether the novel has a great content in it and the writing style is truly that of a jnanpith winner I must say. It is one among the finest 15 pieces of novels in malayalam
