Havoc

Ronan Bennett. Havoc, in its Third Year. London, UK: Bloomsbury, 2004
Signed by the author on the title page. England in the early 17th century. John Brigge is the local coroner of a small northern town, a respected man who wants nothing more than to work his farm and be with his wife. But when he is called upon to investigate an infanticide, Brigge finds himself drawn unwillingly into a vicious power struggle. "Havoc, in its Third Year" is a superb novel: its canvas is large, its characters full-blooded, its atmosphere apocalyptic. Powerful, dramatic and utterly gripping, it will confirm Bennett's reputation as one of Britain's finest novelists. The author of three previous novels, his most recent being "The Catastrophist", which was shortlisted for the 1998 Whitbread Novel Award. ~~~ Author(s): Ronan Bennett; Binding material: Paper; Binding state: Original binding; Class: Uncorrected proof; Condition: Mint; Edition: Not applicable; Jacket condition: Not applicable; Language: English; Pages: 246; Publication year: 2004; Signed: By author; Size: Octavo..

Ramu Nagappan Illustrator: NA: Speaking Havoc: Social Suffering and South Asian Narratives, Oxford University Press 2007 ISBN: 9780195692471

New Hardcover NA This book investigates the possibilities for the intervention of literary and cinematic fictions into the politics and reception of social suffering. The term aEUR social sufferingaEUR here refers to a broader set of traumatic phenomena in South Asia. It covers a realm of experienceaEUR"from the beginning of the twentieth centuryaEUR"consequential to the loss and distress of social and political crises. Focusing on central events such as the Partition of 1947, the assassination of Indira Gandhi in 1984, and more recent conflicts between India and Pakistan, Nagappan demonstrates the differing ways that narratives engage the political violence that has marked the last fifty years of South Asian history. The author discusses Amitav GhoshaEUR s modernist novel The Shadow Lines, Rohinton MistryaEUR s A Fine Balance, the short stories of Saadat Hasan Manto, Salman RushdieaEUR s postmodernist novel Shame, and the films of Mani Ratnam. These works confront the ethical dilemmas posed by representations of the catastrophes and innumerable tragedies that arise from clashes among religious and ethnic communities. In his compassionate engagement with these concerns, he establishes the relevance of literature and literary studies to fundamental sociological, anthropological, and political issues. Printed Pages: 0. 5th or later edition
