It unravels the sufferings of the mother that the son recounts at a special moment of his life. Through a particular case the narration sings the melody of several unsung words of misery of countless Indian women, who have either passed away or still continue to dwell in misfortune. Even in the midst of affluence they stand as the most helpless lot. The story unfolds some of the basic causes of their vulnerability and implicitly highlights the means and ways to their empowerment. That it is better to be exploited in the labour market than at home is reflected in the analysis. The text carries out a psychological analysis of the characters and tries to capture the dilemmas, conflicts, disturbances and the struggle of the human mind to retain peace. It ends with a note of optimism as it unfolds the journey of life from the domestic to the eternal and celebrates the resilience of the human spirit, which ultimately remains beyond all sufferings and sorrow. What is transient meets its end but only to rise again in the sky of eternity, light and hope.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Publishers \u0026 Distributors (P) Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44907927175319,"sku":"9788126901463","price":105.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788126901463.webp?v=1769306175"},{"product_id":"an-armless-hand-writes-a-collection-of-poems","title":"An Armless Hand Writes: A Collection of Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): K.K.

Most of the fifty one poems the book contains, deal with the complex interaction of conscious and unconscious aspects and processes of human psyche and personality—individual as well as collective—both involved in unresting cycles of realities and dreams, necessitating retrieval, oftentimes painful from memory—again individual as well as collective. They help us delve into ambiguous, unbridged, fragmented, and obfuscated diversities of various aspects and processes, particularly those which are quiescent for long but keep floating occasionally, exhibiting clashes and disturbances within. And in the poems, insurmountable problems concerned with the “self” and the “I” and intricate relationships between the whole and the parts and vice versa never get blurred or remain fugacious.\n\u003cbr\u003eThis book continues in the tradition of Srivastava’s first book of poems, Ineluctable Stillness, which Bernard M. Jackson, a prominent poet from U.K., in his incisive review, described as “the work of a perfectionist in his natural element”, “intellectually challenging” and “having distinct echoes of T.S. Eliot’s ‘The Waste Land’ with perhaps an added flavouring of playwright Samuel Beckett”. In tackling and describing his themes, Srivastava ensures that the primacy of intellect, intuition, and imagination is never dethroned in the poems.\n\u003cbr\u003eThose who read the book with patience will certainly enjoy it and would like to read it again and again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Publishers \u0026 Distributors (P) Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44907969708183,"sku":"9788126909285","price":207.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788126909285.webp?v=1769306173"},{"product_id":"aswini-a-novel","title":"Aswini: A Novel","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): Narayan H.

Additionally, the book provides a comprehensive introduction by eminent scholar Prof. A.N. Dhar to the poet in question, which is very useful and informative. It also analyses a fairly good number of the translated verses, which gives illustrative support to his observations.

He was both a man of action and a seer, a man of royal grandeur and an ascetic. In his philosophy of life the best of the East and that of the West are reconciled into a harmonious whole. His inclusive mind aspired after the universal man shining in the glory of creation and joie de vivre. With the passage of time, Tagore, our first Nobel Laureate, has only grown in stature and is now recognized as an increasingly significant and rich personality and a genius for all times.\n\u003cbr\u003eJīvansmŗti (1911) is an intimate account by Rabindranath, aptly called jīvanśilpī (artist of life), of the growth of the inner man within him from early childhood to youth. In Jīvansmŗti, the mature elderly poet seems to have been looking back—affectionately, indulgently, wittily—to the days of his childhood, boyhood, and the sad, mad and sweet boisterous days of early youth.

In “The Hawk”, the hawks are the persecutors, and the sparrows are the persecuted. “Ration Card” and “My Name” depict how these refugees have lost their identity in their own country. In “Minority”, the poet says that he saved his life in the horrible atmosphere of death and decay in order to survive. The dream sequences in some poems are surrealistic in nature. “Monsoons in Pakistan” presents the innocence of a young girl; “The Hood” describes the horror of living in a hot climate; “Snow” reminds an old lady of her own house in Kashmir. However, in “The Anthropological Museum”, the poet is hopeful of return; “The Old Man” presents a picture of despair; in “The Wooden Swords” the poet is critical of the leaders of his own community, and in “A Pregnant Woman in Exile”, the woman wants to make her child tough and brave so that he lives a life of dignity in a hostile world.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe anthology is a significant contribution to the genre of Literature in Exile, perhaps for the first time in India.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peacock Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44908393562263,"sku":"9788124803363","price":119.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788124803363.webp?v=1769306358"},{"product_id":"the-crazy-harvest-a-novel","title":"The Crazy Harvest: A Novel","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): Satya Debnath\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher: Atlantic\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher Imprint: Peacock\u003cbr\u003e • Subject: Creative Writing, Fiction\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Crazy Harvest is a brilliant combination and expression of imagination, realism, surrealism, natural phenomenon, politics which is less beautified, and the pure love of teenage boys and girls.\n\u003cbr\u003eFamine in a country causes loss of beauty and sex of youth.

In this Indian war of independence, Bhaskararao Bhave fought against the British rulers, especially against the Disarmament Bill and the Doctrine of Lapse introduced by Lord Dalhousie. He killed Manson, the Political Agent of South India and enraged the British Government. But his patriotic fight was nullified as much by the 'divide and rule' policy of the Britishers as by betrayal by his own people. Consequently he lost his kingdom, mother and wife and escaped. Later he was arrested and ordered to be hanged to death. But the strange quirks of his fate compelled him to escape the death-sentence as one of his loyal servants offered himself to be hanged in his place thereby cheating the British authorities. He, then wandered about in disguise, met Nanasaheb Tantya Topi in Nepal and tried in vain to defeat the British rulers. His dream of freedom was never realised.

But whilst they acknowledge the strengths of these standard approaches, their emphasis is on helping researchers find the most effective solution to their problem by encouraging them, through this familiarity with the principles of various approaches, to innovate where appropriate.

His India of the 1950 and 60s is populated with hopeless literature professors, scattered alcohol bottles, prostitutes, hysteria patients, and sell-out painters. His unconventional life and writing place him outside the mainstream, and so he remains as uncategorizable as the characters and lives he wrote about. Bringing together twelve of his most representative short stories, translated for the first time in English, Traces of Boots on Tongue and Other Stories allows a glimpse into the early decades of independent India and its weariness, which many readers will find in today’s India as well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seagull Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44951834198167,"sku":"9781803090795","price":325.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781803090795.webp?v=1769200359"}],"url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/collections\/creative-writing-fiction.oembed?page=31","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
