5.0 out of 5 stars The Death Conqueror
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2007
I just love this book. My brother picked it up while he was in India. The outside of the book is black silk that looks like the bark of a tree with a red streak of fake blood pouring down one side of it. It is such a romantic book. The emotions of the characters are revealed in a poetic way almost. Deep, alluring. The images are fantastic. I love the chapters being from different viewpoints of the participants. Love this book.

The storyline was something I was aware of so no surprises. But the thing was the quality of the book binding and pages. The bunding came off just on the 3rd day. Would be wary of paying so much of this quality which we could have got for 1/5th the price in India

5.0 out of 5 stars The book has conquered the death of the story of Karna.
Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2000
Amazing book on the life of Karna, the famous warrior who participated in the great Mahabharata war. The story has an inimitable style. There are various characters involved with the life of Karna and the author had brought them to life by actually making them tell their story. And the continuity about the life story of Karna is not lost. This is the wonderful part of narrating a story where each important character speaks to you and expresses his or her story, their roles. The story has really done a justice to the characters and the role model that Karna played in the great epic. This style of presenting a story I believe was first introduced by V. S. Khandekar in his Award winning novel "Yayati" (which is another stupendous novel). And was adopted by Shivaji Sawant. The best part of the story is the years of research that went in developing this story from a 4 thousand year old epic. The book presents the story in its best possible authentic form. It is hard not to lose yourself in the world created by the author which though thousands of years old is made contemporary by the human feelings and thoughts that are timeless. The characters in the book have not been glorified as pious heroes and helps to make it easier to identify to real world then to some mystic story. The great story telling power of Shivaji Sawant and his thought provoking underliners about the duties of man are an eye opener. This was the first Marathi novel that I read and fell in love with it and with it the Marathi literature. Hats off to you Mr. Sawant.

It's not often that a book comes along and the storyline is so awesome that occasional, tiny, flaws and typos don't dull the pace. The depth, connect, details and perspective totally blew me away. The translation can sometimes be iffy, but if you have a decent knowledge of Marathi lingo & syntax (but not enough to pick up the original Mrutyunjaya), this bears promise to be a pleasurable read.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best book in the Mythology genre

I read the original Marathi version of Mrityunjay before reading this translation. Undoubtedly , the best book in the Mythology genre.I make it a point to read it atleast once a year.
About the English version ,I can say that unlike other books, this translation retains the essence and the feel of the original version.Mrityunjay is an epic which showcases the best of Marathi literature and I'm really happy that non marathi speakers got a chance to read the best book on Karna by way of this translation.

Reviewed in India on September 30, 2013

I have always been fascinated by Karna in the epic Mahabharat. Wanted to know more about him. He was a real and true warrior but yet he failed, not because of any short comings but he was truthful to his best friend Duryodhana who was on the wrong side of Dharma. Want to know more about him, this book satisfies all the questions you will have in your mind of Karna, the son of Sun-God !

Excellent book. Excellent storytelling. I had always believed Karna had not been given his due place of honour in the way The Mahabharata had been told generations after generations. His rock solid character & virtues make him the most (if not only) praise-worthy character in the epic. This part of Karna has been brought out really well through the gripping narrative which analyses the situations through various viewpoints.
