Folks, My parents and relatives always used to read and talk about Kalki's novels. I just started reading the English translation put out by Project Madurai. Alas, it has just two parts.
Does anybody know of a complete english translation on the Internet? I assume the english translation is available as printed volumes! Does anybody know if they are available in Bangalore and the price?
Matter simple: English translation on the Internet irrukka illaya? Matter is not language comparison.
I wish you hadn't gone the language route, I know you are well meaning and are trying to help me. But you assume everybody is well versed in Tamil apart from other assumptions.
Between you and me, I perfectly understand and agree with you 400% - the original form of literatures is the best form to enjoy them. I have no qualms in accepting it.
Personally, I feel comfortable reading English than Tamil as I was not schooled in Tamil and all my knowledge of Tamil is self learned. Hence I will not understand some of the written literary words, and probably will take me a lot of time and effort for me to read.
I know I will be missing some of the nuances, and plethora of emotions - but that is a price I have to pay. Maybe once I read the English translation, I will get to the Tamil original and enjoy it truly.
I am a newbie here. I thought this group discussed only PS. I am looking for PS in English.
