In <em>Ravana<\/em> by Abhimanyu Singh Sisodia every story is told from the viewpoint of the supposedly &#8216;good character&#8217; in the story. I was surprised to know that in the Thailand versions of Ramayana, Ravana is not as evil as he is portrayed in the Indian versions. Ravana is a first person account of Ravana&#8217;s life from childhood till his deathbed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ravana is born from the union of a demon princess and a holy mortal. Being a studious child, he masters every skill at a very young age and meditates for years singing praises of Brahma to ask him for boons. Once powerful, he grows arrogant, conquers Lanka for himself and even challenges the Gods for war. As they say, pride goes before a fall, Ravana\u2019s favourable reign gets shaken up when he kidnaps Sita, wife of the exiled prince of Ayodhya, Lord Ram. This is Ravana\u2019s story, in his own words.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2229\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2229\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2229 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ravana5_1.jpg\" alt=\"Ravana by Abhimanyu Singh Sisodia\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ravana5_1.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ravana5_1.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ravana5_1.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2229\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ravana by Abhimanyu Singh Sisodia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What I Liked<\/h3>\n<p>It was a pleasant surprise that the the illustrator did the skin tones right. I have seen books and animations of Hindu mythologies where some illustrators have whitened the skin tones and that makes it very difficult to picturise the characters as those of Indian origin. \u00a0Sachin Nagar is a wonderful illustrator. The art is amazing. He is successful in capturing the grandeur of Lanka and the ferociousness of Ravana. Hanuman is often depicted as a comical monkey man. I think this book has one of the best drawings of Hanuman that I have seen (in a non-comical way). Also, the art where Ravana\u2019s ten heads are depicted is amazing as well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2231\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2231\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2231 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ravana2_1.jpg\" alt=\"Ravana by Abhimanyu Singh Sisodia\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ravana2_1.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ravana2_1.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ravana2_1.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2231\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ravana by Abhimanyu Singh Sisodia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Some facts in the story were new to me. An example is the musical instrument that Ravana makes from his own muscles and veins to sing praises of Shiva. The instrument called Ravanhatha or Ravana Hasta Veena is said to be invented by Ravan and brought to North India from Lanka by Hanuman. It later moved to Europe in the name of \u2018Ravanastrom\u2019 and is considered to be the forefather of violin. The book has a page of trivia about the instrument \u00a0which was a delight to read.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2227\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2227\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2227 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ravana3_1.jpg\" alt=\"Ravana by Abhimanyu Singh Sisodia\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ravana3_1.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ravana3_1.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ravana3_1.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2227\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ravana by Abhimanyu Singh Sisodia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Even though Ravana is celebrated as the villain, there were parts of the story when I felt sorry for him, especially when his most trusted sibling betrays him.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What I disliked<\/h3>\n<p>The size! The size of the book really put me off &#8211; It was too small! Sometimes important incidents that could have used up a page were restricted to a single bubble. I would have loved to have a bigger book where some facts were given detailed explanations. Personally I didn&#8217;t think the lettering and the art were compatible, but the magnificence of the art makes up for the tiny complaint of mine.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2230\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2230\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2230 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ravana4_1.jpg\" alt=\"Ravana by Abhimanyu Singh Sisodia\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ravana4_1.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ravana4_1.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ravana4_1.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2230\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ravana by Abhimanyu Singh Sisodia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Final Verdict<\/h3>\n<p>I have not read many books that tell the story of Ravan through his own eyes. Abhimanyu has done a brilliant job of allowing Ravana himself to tell his own story. The stories in the book are reliable too, from my memory of my grandfather&#8217;s story telling sessions. I would highly recommend the book if you are interested in Hindu mythology. Also, the art is amazing, so go get it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2220\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2220\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2220 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ravana1.jpg\" alt=\"Ravana by Abhimanyu Singh Sisodia\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ravana1.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ravana1.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ravana1.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2220\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ravana by Abhimanyu Singh Sisodia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Title : Ravana : Roar of the Demon King<br \/>\nAuthor : Abimanyu Singh Sisodia Illustrator : Sachin Nagar<br \/>\nPublisher : Campfire<br \/>\nPublished : 2011<br \/>\nLanguage : English<br \/>\nPages : 104<br \/>\nRating : 4\/5<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The story of Ravana, the demon king, his rise to power as one of the strongest conquerors &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2220,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6307,16],"tags":[6888,220,431,61,218,1853,52,508,77],"thb-sponsors":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.9 (Yoast SEO v22.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ravana by Abhimanyu Singh Sisodia - Roar of the Demon King | The Book Satchel<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The story of Ravana, the demon king by Abhimanyu Singh Sisodia and illustrated by Sachin Nagar;
