Narration Supposing Books சிவகாமியின் சபதம் (சிவகாமியின் சபதம்)
Sivakamiyin Sabadham is a historical Tamil novel set in 7th century South India written by Kalki in 1944. Kalki Krishnamurthy, recipient of India's highest literary honour - the Sahitya Akademi Award. Believed by some to be one of the first historical novels in Tamil it was originally serialized in the weekly Kalki magazine for about 12 years. This was later published as a novel. Along with Ponniyin Selvan, this is widely regarded as one of the greatest novels ever written in Tamil Set in 7th century south India against the backdrop of various historical events and figures. The novel created widespread interest in Tamil history when it was being published in the 1940s. Honour, love and friendship form important themes that run through the course of the novel that would be tough to point out who the real hero of the novel is. Mahendravarman I, the Pallava emperor plays an important role in the first half of the story while his son Narasimhavarman comes into his own as the novel progresses. The plot revolves around the historical events of the Chalukya king Pulakesi II playing a siege of Kanchi and Narasimhavarman avenging this by attacking Vatapi the capital of the Chalukyas. The novel is divided into four volumes.

I cannot do justice to this masterpiece with my review..such exceptional and extraordinary plot.Kalki takes you to the pallava and chalukya dynasty, the era of espionage and strategic excellence.sivagamiyin sapadham starts off as a historical fiction but takes you through an emotional ride and an unexpected end. I have always wondered how kalki excelled at weaving fictional characters with history..kalki's modus operandi is brilliant..he takes us through various characters andThis historical tamil novel by Kalki Krishnamoorthy is based on incidents in Tamilnadu that took place during 7th century AD. Among many historical and fictional characters, Thirunaavukkarasar, a religious head of famous saiva traditions, who has written thousands of poems in praise of Lord Siva in Devaram, also is featured in this novel. The historical characters in this novel are Mahendra Pallava, his son the great Narasimha Pallava, his army commander Paranjyoti, who later becomes a famed
I started this book after ponniyin selvan. Just imagine how would anyone's expectation be after reading that epic creation. Failed to meet my expectations. The love in this book was not as heart melting as that of poongulali's or vanthiyathevan's. A must read, nevertheless. The war and stuff is good
I read an English translation of this novel by P.S.Sri, published by Sahitya Akademi in 2008 in hardcover. The quality of the publication sucks. First of all, the binding is poor and the pages come out even if you turn them once. Then, some of the pages are not in order and are bound in random order. The translation itself is poor. It seems like a literal translation of Tamil idioms and metaphors into English with no regard for contextual explanation or changes to appropriate English phrases.
Historic fiction woven with a beautiful romance. Beauty of political diplomacy, disguise, sculptures and art form the basis of dispute between Mahendra pallavan and Pulikesi. Beautiful depiction of politics, nature, religion, land and of course the war that followed framed the base of the entire novel. Good work for school children. Lots of fictitious history (though)paved a way for a brilliant imaginative narration. Kalki is MY man for this genre in tamizh.
4.25 stars. When your rating is in 2 decimal places, you know you have thought a lot about the book. Kalki's this masterpiece should be essential blueprint for writing historical fiction. And the addiction it created for the reader (or listener in my case) is the stuff of drugs. The Pallava dynasty has accomplished so much that you are not sure why they are not given their due credit in the Indian history. The story traces Mahendravaraman and later his son Narasimhavaraman's rule centered around
One of the most beautiful books to show love as it happens(ed) in real life - that too from the perspective of either genders. Be it the initial days when Narasimhavarman longs to express his love to Sivagami or the instances when Sivagami "speaks" to the hero in her own dance style - each and every aspect is vividly portrayed. The best part is when Narasimhavarman gets to see Sivagami after his marriage - there can literally be no other way than Kalki's heart touching narration of both of their
