Le Grand Roman indien

Shashi Tharoor reimagines the ancient Indian epic, the Mahabharata, as a sprawling political satire set against the backdrop of 20th-century Indian history. This ambitious novel cleverly parallels the epic's characters and events with prominent figures and pivotal moments in India's struggle for independence and its early decades as a nation. It offers a witty and insightful commentary on power, morality, and the making of modern India.
