This book studies in depth and detail, Mulk Raj Anand’s all major novels which are truly representative of his artistic genius. After a careful evaluation of the twelve novels which have been studied in this book, a critic of fame commented, “Certainly, the author has worked conscientiously and with steady and painstaking industry. He has studied the novels with care and attended to the details of plot and characters. He has taken notice of major critical pronouncements. He is also involved as a reader who responds with feeling to the incidents and characters. He also shows an admirably balanced perspective in his views. For example, he condemns revivalist fanaticism but refuses to succumb to an uncritical bias against Hinduism.” Undoubtedly, the book makes an interesting reading. It keeps the reader thrilled by the new insights into the works of Anand and offers fresh interpretations. The book clearly reveals the rigours of real research the author underwent to add to the value of the book. It will be very useful to the students, teachers and researchers of Indian writing in English, particularly those having keen interest in Mul Raj Anand.
