Book Description
Parthiban Kanavu (Parthiban's Dream) was a novel Kalki R. Krishnamurthy penned as a weekly serial beginning 1941 in Kalki, the magazine that he had founded. Written in simple and elegant prose, Parthiban Kanavu is a breezy fictional historical romance in which good triumphs over evil and the lovers overcome obstacles posed by dynastic affiliations, intrigue and separation to be united in matrimony. The novel was an instant hit and was made into a Tamil film starring Gemini Ganesan, Vyjayanthimala and S.V. Ranga Rao in 1960. Parthiban Kanavu is an important milestone in Kalki's illustrious literary career. It offered tantalizing perspectives of his literary style and what would be his more critically acclaimed works that followed. Vivid descriptions of nature, flora and fauna formed memorable backdrops against which Kalki's gripping plots unfolded. While the stories he told were timeless ones of valour, romance and hope, his characters never conformed to the binaries of good and evil, instead portraying the various shades of grey and ambiguities that encapsulate what it means to be human. Kalki's characters communicated his unequivocal views on politics and war. That religion and politics are an undesirable and combustible combination, that the adverse impact of wars on the environment and civilians far outweighs the political gains, and that civilians ought not to be harassed when a war is under way - are recurring themes.

Book Description
‘Kalki’ R. Krishnamurthy, one of the pioneering giants of the Tamil press in the tumultuous times of the nationalist movement, was a versatile and prolific writer, inscribing the urgencies of his time in his fiction. This collection brings together the best of Kalki’s short stories, which contain some of his most colourful and enduring characters and themes of Tamil popular fiction of the nineteen thirties and forties. There is in these stories the heady urgency of the freedom struggle, the piquant humour of the parodied Tamil gothic and devastating social satire. In her sensitive translations, Gowri Ramnarayan has succeeded in capturing the nuances of the gently mordant wit that made Kalki’s stories the highlight of the magazines they were originally published in, creating for themselves a dedicated following that flourishes undiminished to this day. Coinciding with the centenary of Kalki’s birth, this volume is a well-deserved tribute to a writer whose breadth of vision and genius imagined and served a new India.

Book Description
Beginning with Timur, Sultan Ghazni who invaded India seventeen times at the head of a large army, plundering the country of its great wealth, to the last Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah, banished from the country by the British - details and descriptions of every incident and each king astonish and exhilarate us. The approach is direct, simple and unambiguous. From Timur to Bahadur Shah it is one engaging account. The book should find a place in every household, as an authentic account of ourselves. A flawless portrait. -THE HINDU Madhan while explaining historical events uses modern similes... In spite of being a cartoonist in his previous avatar Madhan did not caricature the Moghul Emperors and their subjects. I am so pleased he did not sit on judgement as a south Indian non-Muslim writer. -KAMAL HAASAN

"தமிழின் பெரியதொரு திருப்புமுனையாளரான கல்கி, தமிழ்ச் சரித்திரக் கதைகளின் பிதாமகர். அவரது ‘பார்த்திபன் கனவு’, ‘சிவகாமியின் சபதம்’ போன்ற சரித்திரக் கதைகள் தமிழ் மக்களால் பெரிதும் கொண்டாடப்பட்டவை. அவற்றுக்கு நிகராக - இன்னும் ஒருபடி மேலாக தலைமுறைகள் கடந்து மீண்டும் மீண்டும் வாசிக்கப்படும், மீண்டும் மீண்டும் கொண்டாடப்படும் அற்புதம், பொன்னியின் செல்வன். ஐந்து பாகங்களில் ஆறு ஆண்டுகள் கல்கி இதழில் தொடராக வெளிவந்த பொன்னியின் செல்வன், இதுவரை சென்றடைந்த இதயங்களின் எண்ணிக்கை பல லட்சங்களைத் தாண்டும். சோழர்களின் பொற்கால ஆட்சியைப் பற்றி சரித்திர நூல்களில் இருந்து தெரிந்துகொண்டதைக் காட்டிலும், பொன்னியின் செல்வனில் இருந்தே பெரும்பாலான தமிழர்கள் ஆர்வத்துடன் கற்றிருக்கிறார்கள். தமிழர்களின் உயிரோடும் உணர்வுகளோடும் ஒன்றிக் கலந்துவிட்ட பொன்னியின் செல்வனை திரும்பத் திரும்ப வாசியுங்கள். அடுத்த தலைமுறைக்கு அறிமுகப்படுத்துங்கள்."
