Troubled Waters: Ponniyin Selvan Book 2 - Chennai EKA 2023 - 300
As the winds of political intrigue and dynastic upheavals blow through the Chozha Empire, it all comes down to one womanthe 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. and what about our fearless hero, Vallavarayan Vandiyadevan. Does he complete the mission to deliver Karikalans message to Kundavai Piraatti? Does Azhvarkadiyaan Nambi succeed in his quest to meet Nandini? And what fate awaits those who are conspiring against Emperor Sundara Chozhar?
When Ponniyin Selvan was first serialised in Kalki, no one could have imagined the impact it would have on the circulation of the magazine. The novel invented a distinct style, in which slang alternates with erudition, wordplay with euphoric prose and vivid imagery—a style that critics came to call 'Kalki Tamil. Today, this pioneering work is considered one of the great classics of Tamil literature.
This unabridged and first-rate translation of Kalki Krishnamurthys masterwork by Nandini Krishnan is at once faithful to the original and accessible to the readers of this day. Carefully crafted in lyrical prose, Troubled Waters—Book Two in the Ponniyin Selvan series—is the quintessential page-turner: full of adventure, intrigue, conspiracy and romance.
