MAHASAMAR is a novel based on the Mahabharata. Written in contemporary style, it offers the reader a gripping account of the entire Mahabharata, seen from the eyes of its myriad protagonists.
It has been published in nine volumes and is so well written that it flows smoothly over 3325 pages. Readers complain that they had to give up the internet and television for the days (weeks) it took them to read through the book.
Narendra Kohli is one of India’s best read writers. His writing is assured and nuanced. His understanding of ancient India and her heroes, both mythical and real, is unparalleled. He looks at history not with the rose-tinted glasses of the romantic, but with the impartiality of a scholar. What makes his writings popular is his modern approach and understanding of the inner motivation of each protagonist. Add to this his crisp storytelling skills, and you know why 25 hardbound editions of Mahasamar have sold so successfully.
His novels based on the two epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, as well as on the life of Svami Vivekananda, a modern Indian leader have been massively appreciated and set new records for sales each year.
We are proud to distribute MAHASAMAR, as well as all the other works by Narendra Kohli and other leading writers of Hindi, Sanskrit, Prakrit and Urdu.
