This novel uses metaphors, symbols, ambiguities, and overtones which gradually link themselves together to form a network of connections binding the whole work. This system of connections gives the novel a wide, more universal significance as the tale becomes a modern microcosm presented from a fictive metaphysical perspective. This system can be described as the “mythic method”: a way of controlling, of ordering, of giving a shape and giving significance to the immense panorama of futility and anarchy which is contemporary history.
As such, this derivate of the Mahabharata contains several textual, biographical, temporal, and topographical discrepancies during its adaption to a contemporary novel, as do the names and some facts derived from the lives of real people in a variety of often unexpected ways to recreate the life-stories of its protagonists.
I made an effort to connect this novel with the work of more contemporary writers as James Joyce (Ulysses), Thomas Mann (Buddenbrooks: The Decline of a Family), Tayeb Salihel (Season of Migration to the North), Honoré de Balzac (Father Goriot), H. P. Lovecraft (The Dreamland Cycle), … and many other literary icons while taking some artistic liberties with their creations.
Although this is a work of fiction, there are nevertheless three meta-themes interwoven with the tale of the Maharajagar;
- The All is a projection of informational modulated energy waves by a cosmically horizon on the time-space continuum.
- Synchronicity is a phenomenon that comes to us with a message
- The Long Now is the only time concept to give a lasting meaning to our thinking and, hopefully consequent, actions
These principles offer a perspective from where a powerful code of conduct can emanate, transforming our lives to a new experience of freedom, happiness, and love.
I hope you’ll enjoy the new universe that waits for you to be discovered on 25th of October 2025.
