சிவா.....த்ரிலாஜி....... அமிஷ் த்ரிபாதி


சிவா ........முதல் தொகுதி.....

”மெலுஹாவின் அமரர்கள்”

”இது ஒரு மனிதனின் கதை........

காலம்;  தெய்வமாய் மாற்றிய ஒரு மனிதனின் கதை.....!”







கி.மு. 1900 இன்றைய இந்தியர்கள்., சிந்து சமவெளி நாகரீகம் என்று தவறாக குறிப்பிடுவது வழக்கம்.
அன்று வாழ்ந்தவர்களோ.,அந்த நிலப்பரப்பை ” மெலுஹா....” என்றழைத்தனர். பல நூற்றாண்டுகளுக்கு முன்., உலகின் மிகச் சிறந்த அரசர்களுள் ஒருவரான இராமபிரான் உருவாக்கிய அற்புதமான சாம்ராஜ்யம்.

புகழும் பெருமையுமாய் சிறந்து விளங்கிய இதன் ஆட்சியாளர்களான ”சூர்யவம்சிகள்” .,பல ஆபத்துகளை சந்திக்கின்றனர். அவர்களது ஜீவநதி சரஸ்வதி.,வற்ற ஆரம்பித்து ., முற்றிலுமாய் அழியத்துவங்கி விட்டது.

கிழக்கே வாழும் சந்திரவம்சிகளிடமிருந்து.,பயங்கர தீவிரவாதத் தாக்குதல்களையும் சந்திக்கின்றனர். நிலமையை இன்னும் சிக்கலாக்கும் விதமாக., சமூகத்திலிருந்து ஒதுக்கப்பட்டு., விகாரமடைந்த முகமும் உடலுமாய்., பல அற்புத சக்திகள் படைத்த...”நாகர்கள்”என்னும் குலத்தாருடன் சந்திரவம்சிகள் கைகோர்த்துக் கொண்டது போலவும் தெரிகிறது.

இப்போது சூர்யவம்சிகளின் ஒரே நம்பிக்கை., என்றோ அவர்களிடையே பரவி.,
வேரூன்றிவிட்ட ஒரு ஆரூடம்..:.........


                           ”தீமை தலை விரித்தாடும் போது; 
                    அதன் கொடூரம் எல்லை மீறி.,
                    எதிரிகள் முழுமையாய் வென்று                          விட்டார்கள்;
                    இனி போக்கிடம் இல்லையென்ற நிலை                        ஏற்படும் போது ...............                                                             ஒரு வீரன் வருவான்”

யாரது...? கரடுமுரடான திபேத்திய நாட்டிலிருந்து குடி பெயர்ந்துவரும் சிவன்தானோ..?
உலகைக் காப்பாற்றும் அந்த வீரனாய் உருவாவதில் அவருக்குச் சம்மதம் தானா..?
கடமை மட்டுமல்லாது .,காதலாலும் கவர்ந்திழுக்கப்படுவர்., உண்மையில் சூர்யவம்சிகளை வழிநடத்தி,அவர்களுக்காகத் தீமையை அழித்து... விடுதலையளிப்பாரா...?

”சிவா”.... முத்தொகுதியில் இதுவே முதல் புத்தகம்.........
சாதரன மனிதன் ஒருவனின் பிறவிப்பயன்......
அவனை நம் தெய்வங்களுக்கெல்லாம் தெய்வமாய்...,
மாகாதேவராய்.....மாற்றிய கதை.

The Luminaries - Eleanor Catton



Eleanor Catton

Eleanor Catton was born in 1985 in Canada and raised in New Zealand.

She holds an MFA from the Iowa Writers' Workshop, where she also held an adjunct professorship, and an MA in fiction writing from the International Institute of Modern Letters. She currently lives in Auckland, New Zealand.

Her debut novel The Rehearsal (2008) was shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award and the Dylan Thomas Prize, and longlisted for the Orange Prize. It has since been published in 17 territories and 12 languages. Her latest novel The Luminaries (2013) is longlisted for the 2013 Man Booker Prize.   



It is 1866, and Walter Moody has come to make his fortune upon the New Zealand goldfields. On arrival, he stumbles across a tense gathering of twelve local men, who have met in secret to discuss a series of unsolved crimes. A wealthy man has vanished, a whore has tried to end her life, and an enormous fortune has been discovered in the home of a luckless drunk. Moody is soon drawn into the mystery: a network of fates and fortunes that is as complex and exquisitely patterned as the night sky. The Luminaries is an extraordinary piece of fiction. It is full of narrative, linguistic and psychological pleasures, and has a fiendishly clever and original structuring device. Written in pitch-perfect historical register, richly evoking a mid-19th century world of shipping and banking and goldrush boom and bust, it is also a ghost story, and a gripping mystery. It is a thrilling achievement and will confirm for critics and readers that Catton is one of the brightest stars in the international writing firmament.
