Come back every Tuesday for a new set of five! This week we have Kannadasan, Jayakanthan, Subramanya Bharathi, Rajam Krishnan and the duo, Subha.
Cheraman Kadali by Kannadasan
This Sahitya Akademi Award winning historical novel follows the life of Cheraman III who ruled over the Chera kingdom. It explores his inter-religious marriage with women of Jewish and Muslim faith.
Oru Manidhan Oru Veedu Oru Ulagam by Jayakanthan
This is a novel centred around a common man named Henry who is clueless about where he comes from, but has a positive attitude towards life nonetheless. Not just the protagonist, but every character has been endowed with such depths in characterization that they stay with the readers.
Maha Kavi Bharathiyar Kavidhaigal by Subramanya Bharathi
A complete collection of the poet's work.
Verukku Neer by Rajam Krishnan
Translated as Water For The Roots by Pattu M. Bhoopathi
Known for depicting underrepresented communities after extensive research, Krishnan bases this novel around Yamuna, a follower of Gandhian principles who encounters an interplay of ideologies in an increasingly materialistic world.
Subhavin Sirukathaigal by Subha
The first book in a trilogy, Subhavin Sirukathaigal is a collection of short stories where the writer-duo, comprising of D. Suresh and A.N. Balakrishnan, step away from thrillers to dwell on social issues plaguing society.
