Chanakya’s Chant

The mantra written above holds vital importance throughout the novel. It starts and ends with this mantra. The novel is a well-paced thriller penned by the renowned novelist, Ashwin Sanghi. Set in two different eras, a common plot binds the storyline. In 340 BC, a lesser known teacher called Kautilya (later known as Chanakya) had defied all the odds to dethrone a powerful ruler of Magadha and instil a mere shepherd Chandragupta as the king of Bharat (later known as India).

The Rozabal Line

Before I begin my review, I have a few queries that make me wonder. What on earth does Jesus Christ’s life have that makes the writer wanting to explore deeper and deeper? Am I the only reader that feels awed by the topic of Christ? Every time I read something about Christ, I come across newer information about the same. Well.. That isn’t the feedback I plan to talk about.

The Count of Monte Cristo

There is a climax scene where the antagonist Fernand asks the protagonist Edmond Dantes, “Why are you doing all this? Why, in God’s name, why?” Dantes pauses, remembering what Fernand said when he asked why he betrayed him, “It’s complicated. Let’s just say it’s vengeance for the life that you stole from me.” If I have to encourage any person to take up reading then the first book that I would suggest he is going to be The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas.
