मराठी साहित्यविश्वात काही ग्रंथ असे आहेत, जे केवळ वाचले जात नाहीत, तर अनुभवले जातात. शिवाजी सावंत यांचं ‘मृत्युंजय’ हे असंच एक कालजयी महाकाव्य आहे. महाभारतातील कर्ण या शोकात्म yet महान नायकाच्या जीवनावर आधारित ही कादंबरी मराठी वाचकांच्या मनात आजही अमिट ठसा उमटवून आहे. हे पुस्तक केवळ ऐतिहासिक कथानकाचा भाग नाही, तर मानवी भावना, नैतिक संघर्ष आणि नियतीचा खेळ यांचा एक सखोल अभ्यास आहे. ‘मृत्युंजय’ने कर्णाला एक सामान्य व्यक्ती म्हणून नव्हे, तर एक महान व्यक्तिमत्त्व म्हणून लोकांसमोर आणले.
शिवाजी सावंत यांनी कर्ण या व्यक्तिरेखेला महाभारतातील उपनायकाच्या चौकटीतून बाहेर काढून त्याला मुख्य केंद्रस्थानी आणलं. कर्ण हा दानशूर, पराक्रमी, प्रखर निष्ठावंत आणि तरीही नियतीच्या कठोर खेळाचा बळी ठरलेला नायक. सावंतांनी त्याच्या जीवनातील अंतर्विरोध, त्याच्या मनातील ताणतणाव, त्याची दारुण परिस्थिती आणि अखेरीस त्याचा पराभव—हे सर्व इतक्या प्रभावी शब्दांत मांडलं की वाचक प्रत्येक क्षण त्याच्यासोबत जगू लागतो. ‘मृत्युंजय’ वाचताना वाचकाला कर्णाच्या जन्मापासून ते त्याच्या मृत्यूच्या क्षणापर्यंतचा प्रवास अनुभवता येतो. कर्णाच्या आयुष्यातील प्रत्येक महत्त्वाच्या घटनेवर, त्याच्या प्रत्येक निर्णयावर, आणि त्याच्या भावनांवर सावंतांनी इतकं सखोल भाष्य केलं आहे की तो वाचकाच्या मनात कायमचा घर करून राहतो.
‘मृत्युंजय’चं वैशिष्ट्य म्हणजे त्याची कथनशैली. कर्णाच्या जीवनातील विविध टप्पे फक्त त्याच्या दृष्टिकोनातूनच नव्हे, तर त्याच्या आयुष्यात महत्त्वाच्या ठरलेल्या इतर व्यक्तिरेखांच्या दृष्टीकोनातूनही मांडले आहेत. राधा, कुंती, दुर्योधन, कृष्ण अशा प्रत्येक पात्राच्या तोंडून घडणारी मांडणी वाचकाला कर्णाच्या आयुष्याचं बहुआयामी चित्र दाखवते. दुर्योधनाच्या दृष्टिकोनातून कर्णाची निष्ठा, कुंतीच्या दृष्टिकोनातून तिच्या मुलाचे दुर्दैव आणि राधेच्या दृष्टिकोनातून एका प्रेमळ मुलाचा संघर्ष वाचकाला वेगळ्याच पातळीवर अनुभवता येतो. हाच या कादंबरीचा सर्वात मोठा बळकटीबिंदू आहे, ज्यामुळे ‘मृत्युंजय’ केवळ एक व्यक्तीची कथा न राहता, अनेक नात्यांचा आणि विचारांचा संगम बनली आहे.
मराठी वाङ्मयात कर्णावरील इतकी खोल आणि भावनिक मांडणी यापूर्वी झालेली नव्हती. ‘मृत्युंजय’ने कर्णाला अन्यायाचा बळी असलेल्या करुण व्यक्तीमत्त्वातून उठवून एका खऱ्या अर्थाने जीवनमूल्यांचा नायक म्हणून उभं केलं. त्यामुळेच हे पुस्तक फक्त मराठीतच नव्हे, तर इतर भारतीय भाषांमध्येही अनुवादित झालं आणि लाखो वाचकांनी ते डोकावून पाहिलं. आजच्या काळातही हे पुस्तक तितकंच प्रासंगिक आहे, कारण ते आपल्याला निष्ठा, त्याग आणि स्वाभिमानाची मूल्ये शिकवते.
सावंतांच्या शब्दांमध्ये एक भव्यता आहे, जी महाकाव्याला साजेशी आहे. पण त्याच वेळी त्यांच्या लेखनातली भावनांची तीव्रता वाचकाच्या हृदयाला भिडते. कर्णाच्या वेदना आणि त्याचा उदात्त स्वभाव वाचकांच्या मनावर कायमस्वरूपी ठसा उमटवतो. सावंतांनी कर्णाच्या व्यक्तिमत्त्वातील द्वंद्व, त्याच्या मनातील अस्वस्थता आणि त्याच्या नशिबाने त्याला दिलेल्या एकाकीपणाचे चित्रण इतक्या प्रभावीपणे केले आहे की वाचक भावनाविवश होतो.
‘मृत्युंजय’ ही केवळ एक कादंबरी नाही, तर मानवी जीवनातील संघर्ष, स्वाभिमान, निष्ठा, वेदना आणि नियतीच्या खेळाचा सखोल अभ्यास आहे. आजही युवक, प्रौढ आणि वृद्ध वाचक या ग्रंथाकडे आदराने आणि कृतज्ञतेने पाहतात. म्हणूनच शिवाजी सावंत यांचं ‘मृत्युंजय’ हे खर्या अर्थानं मराठी साहित्याचं अभिमानस्थान ठरतं.
मराठी साहित्यात व. पु. काळे म्हणजे एक वेगळंच विश्व. त्यांना वाचताना असं वाटतं की आपण स्वतःलाच आरशात पाहतो आहोत. त्यांचा
मराठी साहित्यातील एक अद्वितीय कादंबरी म्हणजे शिवाजी सावंत यांची ‘मृत्युंजय’. ही कादंबरी केवळ महाभारतातील कर्णाच्या आयुष्याची कहाणी सांगत नाही, तर
मराठी साहित्यात विनोद ही एक वेगळीच परंपरा आहे. टोकदार व्यंग, गमतीशीर निरीक्षणं आणि हलकीफुलकी शैली यामुळे मराठी वाचकांना नेहमीच हास्यरसाचा
