Book Summary
Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Tamil literature with the latest installment of the Ponniyin Selvan saga. In Wind Storm, the fourth part of this remarkable new translation, the story unfolds around Arulmozhi Varman, affectionately known as Ponniyin Selvan. Renowned for his kindness, he has garnered the love and loyalty of the Lankan people. But dark forces are at play as someone plots his demise.
As Arulmozhi navigates treacherous waters, he finds himself constantly escaping death, often aided by a mysterious woman whose striking resemblance to the Pazhuvoor Ilaiya Rani raises questions about her true identity. Who is the enigmatic Kaveri Amman, and what ties does she have to the illustrious Chozha royal family? Pulled in multiple directions by the voices of his family—his father's command to return to Thanjavur, his brother's call to Kanchi, and his sister's summons to Pazhaiyarai—Arulmozhi must choose wisely amidst the looming dangers that encompass him.
This thrilling narrative mirrors the legendary tale of Abhimanyu from the Mahabharata, as Arulmozhi seeks to maneuver through a labyrinth of intrigue and peril to reach safety. It was during its initial serialization in Kalki that this novel revolutionized storytelling in Tamil literature. The distinctive style—infused with slang, erudition, wordplay, and evocative prose—has earned it a special place in literary history, often referred to as Kalki Tamil.
The unabridged translation by Nandini Krishnan remains faithful to the original while making it accessible for today’s readers. Rich in lyrical prose, this series exemplifies the essence of a page-turner, combining adventure, suspense, political intrigue, and romance in an unforgettable tale.
Join Arulmozhi Varman on his enthralling journey through danger and discovery in Wind Storm, where every page reveals the magic of a timeless classic.
