A
month and couple of days past since Amish Tripathi's much waited book
Scion of Ikshvaku released.First in the Ram Chandra series special
edition of the book with the author's signature was available for
pre-booking on Amazon for before its initial release.To the end of
Amish's much acclaimed Shiva trilogy it was assume that his next book
would based on The Mahabharta.The announcement that his next was
based on The Ramayana was enough to make some scratch their head and
making them wonder whats new in The Ramayan while others were excited
to read Amish's version of the Epic.
Like
most of the time I was waiting for my friend to buy the copy and
would borrow from him and have a read but to my amaze I was able to
get copy of the book for half of the price available on the web.
The
Book opens with Ravaan abducting Sita in his quadcopter type Pushpaka
Vimana and then takes us back to the battle of karachapa between
Dasraath and Ravaana which results in the defeat of the former.With
Dasraath blaming Ram for the defeat in the hands of Ravaana,the
prince of Ayodhya had a hard and painful childhood. From completing
his education and training along with his 3 brothers under rishi
Vahsistha to his very first encounter with the King of Lanka over
his charge to take over Mithila and finally marrying princess
Sita.With Ram following the laws and punishing himself with 14 years
of banishment into the forest along with sita and lakshman. Amish's
version of the epic can be easily related to his previous book with
the Nagas,Vayputras making a return.The Book ends with the
introduction of Hanuman as a Naga and and with the dying words of
another naga Jatayu.
For
most of us who have grown up watching Ramanand Sagar's
Ramayana,Amish's Scion of Iskhvaku comes with something untold and
presents the epic in a rejuvanated manner.Though first book in the
series opened up with mix review there's no stopping of the book in terms of sales.
With the book ending up in a high note after a big build up it will be exciting to see what the author comes up with next.
For those who are yet to big it a read here's a link to download the book Scion of ikshvaku Download.
Thank You and Happy Reading!!!
