Abridged and adapted with a hefty dose of realism that brings the myths and legends into the world of reality. Is Yudhishthira, the first-born Pandava, the rightful heir to the Hastinapura throne? Is Duryodhana, the first-born Kaurava, the usurper? Forget Karna, for there is a prince born even before him!

Produktbeschreibung
Abridged and adapted with a hefty dose of realism that brings the myths and legends into the world of reality. Is Yudhishthira, the first-born Pandava, the rightful heir to the Hastinapura throne? Is Duryodhana, the first-born Kaurava, the usurper? Forget Karna, for there is a prince born even before him! Alagan's first book of his Mahabharata trilogy hints of a third prince who has a solid claim to the throne; a prince who could have averted the Kurukshetra War. Unlike the Pandavas, Kunti and Madri did not conceive the third prince, and he was not born to the gods. And unlike the Kauravas, Gandhari's boon from Lord Shiva did not produce the third prince. He was born to mortal parents. Even Vyasa, author of Mahabharata, his family epic, speaks of the third prince but only in passing; ignores his right to the throne; giving credence to the claim that the victors write history. But that does not alter the truth. Who was the true first-born prince? There is a hint of him in Book One, Mahabharata: The Beginning. See if you can spot him. Mahabharata (trilogy) The Beginning (Book 1) Dice Game & Exile (Book 2) Kurukshetra War (Book 3)

Autorenporträt
At age 16, Eric Alagan grabbed an entry-level job in the aviation industry where he learned the intricacies of cleaning toilets and making lousy coffee for mechanics. He was the youngest labourer in Singapore's fledgling aviation industry, and also the best looking. The former was a fact, and the latter was a hope. In time, he graduated to fixing airplanes and engines. Twenty years later, he slipped into the corporate suites but kept his tool box behind his desk. It was a conversation piece-grease monkey made good. But his secret-the tool box kept him rooted. After swimming with sharks for a further twenty-plus years, he retired to pursue his passion-writing. Eric has published fiction and non-fiction books. Married with three adult children, Eric considers himself fortunate - the children take after his wife. His hobbies include road cycling, philately, and reading books. His wife continues to love him. Like Creation, her love remains a mystery for him. He retains his tool box-true. Continues to brew lousy coffee-also true. He is getting balder by the day because his wife loves him. Yes, go figure. Or pose your question in the reviews and he'll reveal the secret surrounding his thinning hair.
