Ashwatthama

Product Details

Over a hundred years after the Mahabharata War, an ancient power threatens to destroy the new Age of Men, by establishing the Age of Terror of the asuras, long believed to be extinct. the only hurdle in its path is Guru Dronacharya’s son, the mighty but accursed warrior Ashwatthama, who lost all his powers following Lord Krishna’s curse and who unwittingly finds himself drawn into the quest of the lost bow of Lord Rama, the Kodanda. As ghosts of the distant past return to haunt him and the line between friends and enemies blurs, Ashwatthama must fight his inner demons to emerge victorious. He undertakes a perilous journey—across the vast plains of the Ganges, to the snow-capped peaks of the Himavant where the price of failure is a fate worse than death and death is a privilege not granted to Ashwatthama.

इतिहास समयको दस्ताबेज हो तर लेखकीय पक्षधरतामा निर्भर रहन्छ । दृष्टिकोणको पक्षपोषणमा केन्द्रित हुने हुँदा इतिहासलाई यथार्थको कसीमा नाप्नु श्रमसाध्य कार्य हो ।

हामीले महाभारतको कथा पढेका छौं, हेरेका छौं र सुनेका छौं । अध्यात्मले चिरञ्जीवी मान्छ अश्वत्थामालाई । सर्वत्र विश्वास गरिएको महाभारत युद्ध कुरूक्षेत्रमा मात्र सीमित रहेन । भारतवर्षका कुशल योद्धाहरू सम्मिलित धर्मयुद्धको समाप्तिसँगै अधिकांश योद्धाको निधन भयो तर अश्वत्थामाको जीवन र मृत्यु अज्ञात छ ।

महाभारतको मिथक प्रयुक्त अश्वत्थामा सामाजिक जीवनको तुलना मात्र होइन, तत्कालीन समाज, राजनीति र घटनाहरूको पुनरावृत्ति पनि हो । उपन्यासले मूल चरित्रहरूलाई विनिर्माण गर्दै महाभारतभित्रका स्थान र घटनाको खोज गरेको छ ।
