About This Item
Speaking Tiger. Hardcover. NEW. With a split destiny ruling her life, Kunti, given away at birth, leads a hard but uneventful existence in her foster-father’s home. At fourteen she is pressed into the service of the temperamental sage Durvasa who grants her a boon. Its first use, however, only brings her adversity and a shameful secret. With her marriage to Pandu, Kunti dreams of a better future, but a curse makes him leave the throne of Hastinapur to his sibling, the blind Dhritarashtra, and retreat to the forest. When Pandu dies suddenly, Kunti journeys back to the kingdom, no longer its queen but a widow; a dependant, as are her five sons. She must now take up the task of guiding them through the long struggle to get their inheritance, a struggle made harder by the discovery that Karna, the illegitimate child she had abandoned long ago, is alive and a sworn enemy of the Pandavas. Recasting the Mahabharata from the viewpoint of Kunti, The Kaunteyas replaces the idealized mother figure with a fully three-dimensional woman, providing new insights into the epic.
