Asura, tale of the vanquished

Asura is a book with everything. War, love, romance, betrayal and of course mythology. The author has presented the idea of devas and asura with a very different perspective, with no preconceived notion of the latter being evil. The way the author portrays the journey of Ravana from the depths of poverty to the king of the entire India and then the epic battle with Rama. The story goes at a smooth pace, the details not at all slowing its pace. It’s a must read for those who have the knowledge about the epic Ramayana to view it from a different viewpoint and for those who don’t have any idea about the same.
