About this listen
In the seventh century the Cholas are vassals of the Pallavas. Parthiban conveys his dream of the Chola dynasty regaining its glory - which he believes is lost since they are no longer the independent rulers - to his young son Vikraman. Parthiban refuses to pay tribute to the Pallavas, triggering a battle in which Parthiban is killed. Before he dies, on the battlefield, an enigmatic monk promises Parthiban that he will make sure that Vikraman fulfills Parthiban's dream. On becoming an adult, Vikraman plans his revenge but is betrayed by his treacherous uncle, Marappa Bhupathi. The prince is arrested and exiled to a far-off island by Narasimhavarman.
Three years later Vikraman returns, longing to meet his mother and a mysterious beauty whom he saw before being deported. He discovers that his mother has disappeared, kidnapped by members of the savage Kapalika cult given to performing human sacrifices. He also learns that the beauty he has fallen for, Kundhavi, is none other than the daughter of his sworn enemy, Narasimhavarman.
Several twists and turns later, the monk is revealed as the Pallava emperor Narasimhavarman, who keeps his word to the dying Parthiban by helping establish an independent kingdom under Vikraman in Uraiyur, followed by the Chola prince's marriage to Kundhavi.
The novel ends by stating that Parthiban's dream of a great Chola dynasty was passed on from father to son, and was finally realised 300 years after Parthiban's time, in the reign of Raja Raja Chola I.

Story
In Tamil: Ponniyin Selvan is widely considered by many to be the greatest novel ever written in Tamil literature. It was first published as a series in the Kalki, a Tamil language magazine, during the 1950s and was later integrated into a novel. The craze for the series, which was published weekly, was such that it elevated the magazine circulation to reach a staggering figure of 71,366 copies - no mean achievement in a newly independent India.

Madan's Vandargal Vendrargal is an enjoyable listen as much as it is packed with facts of history. Who would not enjoy listening to history so written? Itâ¿¿s never too late, even if you missed out during your schooldays. You can make up by lapping up Madan's sugarcoated Moghul history.

Story
An audiobook in the Tamil language. Pudhumaipithan is one of the most influential and revolutionary writers of Tamil fiction. His writings brought him an image of a maverick. The subjects that he took and the characters he chose to convey them was completely new to Tamil fiction. His works were characterized by bold criticisms of social anomalies, modern outlook and progressive thinking.

Story
This is the ultimate book of lists throwing light on the "firsts" of planet Earth. The origin of man, the birth and death of civilizations, wars and empires, the beginning of the universe - all this and more is covered in this comprehensive journey in to the past, present and future. And Madan makes it all so enjoyable. With his easy flowing style and ready humor, he turns a complex voyage in a time machine into a walk in the park.
