The great Indian novel

In this award-winning novel, Tharoor has masterfully recast the two-thousand-year-old epic, The Mahabharata, with fictional but highly recognizable events and characters from twentieth-century Indian politics. Nothing is sacred in this deliciously irreverent, witty, and deeply intelligent retelling of modern Indian history and the ancient Indian epic The Mahabharata. Alternately outrageous and instructive, hilarious and moving, it is a dazzling tapestry of prose and verse that satirically, but also poignantly, chronicles the struggle for Indian freedom and independence.

  • "Une parodie de l'épopée du Mahabharata, Maha signifiant grand, Bharata désignant le clan qui conquit et peupla l'Inde du Nord. Inspiré par un ancien poème épique écrit en sanscrit, l'auteur relate l'histoire de l'Inde depuis Gandhi jusqu'à la succession d'Indira Gandhi."
