Sinopsis

About the BookA SCINTILLATING NEW TRANSLATION OF THE CLASSIC TAMIL NOVEL.As the winds of political intrigue and dynastic upheavals blow through the Chozha Empire, it all comes down to one woman-the powerful Pazhuvoor Ilaiya Rani, Nandini. What is the strange power she wields over her influential husband, Periya Pazhuvettaraiyar? Why does the mere mention of her name torment Crown Prince Aditya Karikalan?WhenáPonniyin Selvanáwas first serialised ináKalki, no one could have imagined the impact it would have on the circulation of the magazine. Today, this pioneering work is considered one of the great classics of Tamil literature.This unabridged and first-rate translation of Kalki KrishnamurthyâÇÖs masterwork by Nandini Krishnan is at once faithful to the original and accessible to the readers of this day. Carefully crafted in lyrical prose,áTroubled Waters-Book Two in theáPonniyin Selvanáseries-is the quintessential page-turner: full of adventure, intrigue, conspiracy and romance.áAbout the AuthorâÇÖKalkiâÇÖ is the pen name of Ramaswamy Krishnamurthy (1899-1954), whose career in writing and journalism began as activism during the struggle for Indian independence.
