Mohini Island + The Princess of the Green Mountain

KALKI is the pen name of R.Krishnamurthy, the prolific writer in TAMIL who laid the foundation of historic novels in TAMIL and also created history by serializing the novels in weekly magazines, some of them running to several years at a stretch, thereby establishing the weekly magazines as an undying source of contemporary literary movement in Tamil.
His magnum opus ‘Ponniyin Selvan’, the historical novel about the Chola Dynasty is even today the highest grosser among Tamil novels.

The beauty of KALKI is that he creates unique imaginary characters and allows them seamless participation around real historical events.

  • Fascinating romance story!
    The Whisper of Romance will be heard silently through-out both the novels.
  •  A rose is rose, is a rose!
    The characters of both the novels convey this unique message. ‘We blossom when we are together.’ After completing the novels, you would definitely wind up with the conclusion that a true love story shall never end.
  • The resemblance of past in the present!
    The beauty of KALKI is that he creates unique imaginary characters and makes them participate seamlessly around real historical events. The readers would definitely understand this eternal and universal truth after reading the novels – Love is not complicated. People are!
  • Exhibition of the power of Love!
    As heart needs its beat, we need love to live. These novels make us realize this eternal truth.
  • Everything is fair in love and war!
    In Mohini Island, author KALKI brings into play an imaginary couple, a Princess of Pandya Kingdom and the Prince of rival Chola dynasty. The author’s unique style of narration through these rival characters makes the story so gripping that it can be read in one go.

  • Unique way of presentation
    KALKI in ‘Solaimalai Princess’, attempts a double characterization of the protagonist, surprisingly and admirably, across centuries. May be, he has bettered the techniques of Walter Scott and Alexander Dumas in this respect.

  •  Dream world & The real world
    In Solaimalai Princess, there are two parallel stories in display, one in the dreams and the other in reality, both lived by the protagonist. The awesome narration in both the situations shall bring you to the edge of the seat.
  • Beware – don’t get caught
    In the interestingly woven novel Solaimalai Ilavarasi, the prince Ulaganatha rose to fight the British in the 18th century. Kumaralingam is a freedom fighter in the 19th century. Whether the end of Kumaralingam will be the same as that of Ulaganatha is the question that leads the reader to swallow the pages in avid interest.
