Description of Immortals of Meluha,The

The Immortals of Meluha

Lord Shiva, has been an intriguing personality in the lives of many a Hindus as well as followers of other religions. Amish Tripathi, chose this deity as the protagonist of his pioneer novel series - The Shiva Trilogy. This is not a mythological series full of miracles, this is the story of a man - a human being called Shiva, who lived some 4000 years ago.

Shiva, is a Tibetan tribal leader who comes migrates to India with his entire tribe only to become “the Neelkanth” overnight. The Immortals of Meluha portrays the journey of Shiva from being a tribal leader to Mahadev.

Author: Amish Tripathi

Ever wondered how the Gods would have behaved had they been human beings? Grab a copy of Shiva Trilogy.

The Immortals of Meluha, the first of Shiva Trilogy, is an extremely well written story about a man, a human being, called Shiva. A story put together after a thorough study of scriptures and mythology. A story of love between Shiva and Sati, The Immortals of Meluha, is a perfect example of how logic and common sense help in formation of rules.

There are minor hiccups of grammatical errors but the story is engaging enough to make one overlook them and read-on. One should read it not just for the quality of story that it tells but also for the inspiring connection it forms with history and the modern day society.

Poor paper quality

By Jai

Pros

A big compromise on paper quality.
Books are bought for lifetime and publishers should give utmost importance to the quality of the paper.
I doubt if it would last for more than two reads.
Cover page is attractive but very thin.
Disappointed overall withh the book's quality.

Nice concept, well written and some daring ideas- they very well summarise this book. The language is simple and lucid. You get a feeling like you are reading a comic. This is not a history book, some of the ideas are really daring and cannot stand the scrutiny of penetrating historians. I, especially liked the idea of the meaning of "Har Har Mahadev". In short, I think the book is immensely readable and the writer can really go a long way. BUT, I would like to suggest something to Amish. By writing a trilogy, I hope he knows what he's doing. A new writer, his first book.....and incomplete. Asking your readers to keep waiting for the next episode----isn't it a bit too much to ask for, Mr. Amish. So I suggest the next book be complete in itself. The trilogy can very well be in sequels rather than episodes. Good luck!
