Narration In Favor Of 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.Define Books Concering சிவகாமியின் சபதம் (சிவகாமியின் சபதம்)

One of the best novel to start reading about pallavas and cholas :-)Only Kalki can blended fictional characters - Naganandhi and Sivakami - with real history (though his reading at that point in time, it correlates well with Tamil literature of that time) the way he has done.Not withstanding that, the intensity he has built into Mamalla Narasimha Varma Pallavan and Sivakami is amazing.Though a deep love story, i was able to read and explain to my son without any hesitation. Such literary class is rare to see.
Very lively and good characterisation. But thought it ended abruptly... And realised that I had read only 2 parts! On 3d part right now. Finished the 3d part in Oct 2012, and now the heat begins... Eager to grab part 4.
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
Longest fiction I ever read... 1100+ pages and I can't believe I finished it and longing for more. This is something beyond to be reviewed. Kalki is an era and thanks to my friend who recommended to read this. Though it's a fiction, there are several historical facts which give preview of beautiful era of Tamilnadu. Love, revenge, patriotism, humour, affection...all in one. I am glad I read this book and I certainly will read all other Kalki's writings.
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.
