About this listen
The Hindi translation of The Living Mountain.
A new story from internationally renowned author Amitav Ghosh, Mahaparbat is a cautionary tale of how we have systematically exploited nature, leading to an environmental collapse.
Recounted as a dream, this is a fable about Mahaparbat, the Living Mountain; the indigenous valley dwellers who live and prosper in its shelter; the assault on the mountain for commercial benefit by the Anthropoi, humans whose sole aim is to reap the bounty of nature; and the disaster that unfolds as a result.
Mahaparbat is especially relevant today when we have been battling a pandemic and are facing a climate catastrophe: both of which are products of our insufficient understanding of mankind's relationship with nature, and our sustained appropriation and abuse of natural resources. This is a book of our times, for our times, and it will resonate strongly with listeners of all ages.
Please note: This audiobook is in Hindi.

Mahaparbat - A Dreamlike Journey into Ancient Mysteries
Mahaparbat whisks us away on a dreamlike journey into the heart of a clash between two civilizations. The story unfolds as a captivating dream, drawing us into an ancient world where a long-established society is confronted by a more advanced civilization seeking to seize their sacred mountain.
The audiobook’s unique narrative style, presented as a dream, adds an ethereal layer to the story, immersing us in the protagonist's subconscious. We experience the narrative through their eyes, their confusion mirroring our own as the lines between reality and myth blur.
The audiobook explores the fascinating concept of ancient beliefs clashing with modern skepticism. The newcomers dismiss the ancient civilization's deeply held beliefs as mere myth, but as the story progresses, we are left questioning: what if there's more to these myths than meets the eye?
The narration keeps you engaged throughout, though the brevity of the audiobook leaves you wanting more. There's a sense that the story could have benefited from a more detailed exploration of the characters and the world they inhabit. While the dreamlike narration is immersive, at times it feels like it could have been more polished to fully capture the emotional depth of the story.
Overall, Mahaparbat offers a captivating glimpse into a world where ancient mysteries collide with modern ambition. It’s a thought-provoking listen that will leave you pondering the power of belief and the enduring allure of the unknown. If you’re looking for a quick and engaging listen that blends fantasy and mythology, Mahaparbat is worth exploring.
