Product Description
Karna is the first son of Kunti, the mother of the Pandavas in the Mahabharata. Kunti bears him out of wedlock, before her marriage to Pandu. Fearing social censure, she abandons him soon after his birth.
The baby Karna is found and raised by a charioteer named Adiratha, and his wife Radha.
He is also a close friend of Duryodhana, the eldest of the hundred sons of Dhritarashtra who are together called the Kauravas. Duryodhana is the storyās prime antagonist, and Karna becomes his prime ally in his machinations against the Pandavas.
Karna is depicted throughout the Mahabharata as a character conflicted about his identity. His behaviour is multi-faceted and often contradictory ā from cruel to generous, from brave to cowardly, from loyal to ungrateful.Ā
This guideĀ will cover everything you need to know about Karna.

I picked up this bundle with a bit of hesitation, because there is so much content out there about the Mahabharata. But I was pleasantly surprised how well-organized the content is here. You approach each character from multiple angles - and many of the lesser known characters are also represented. Will use this as a reference book for a long time to come. Must read!
I didn't know much about the Mahabharata before I picked up these books. Now I feel like an expert. Definitely going to recommend these to one and all. In our current modern life, I feel it is important to get in touch with your roots.
I really liked the straight-forward, conversational writing style. It is devoid of all religious propaganda; Sharath treats the Mahabharata and its characters as literary treasures. The respect he has for the epic and its people is evident in his writing. I'd heard of Sharath before with his Murder in Amaravati, but this was the first time I took a chance on his work. Initially I was skeptical about the eBooks because I am a print-book reader, the books are compatible with just about any app that opens any document. What's more, you can also print out the PDF if you want. I appreciated that flexibility. Get it without any hesitation!
If you're a fan of the Mahabharata, this is a no-brainer. If you don't like them, you always have the 30 Day Money Back Guarantee. As far as I know, no other writer is offering a money back guarantee on any of his books, so that alone makes this worth trying. Go for it!
Murder in Amaravati was the only one of Sharath Komarraju's books I'd read before I picked up this one. I can see that his fiction writing skills help him in writing nonfiction too. He brings a fiction writer's curiosity and imagination to this set. The feeling is infectious!
