Soft cover. Zustand: New. One Drop of Blood is Chughtai s passionate retelling of the timeless tale of the life of Imam Husain, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, from the early days spent in Rasulullah s company, up to the epic, bloody Battle of Karbala, in which their small army of family and friends clashed with the savage forces of Yazid, the reigning Caliph. The inimitable Chughtai takes her readers by surprise in this, her last, novel, adapting the complex Islamic account of the sorrow and suffering of Husain s family in Karbala and making it her own by transforming the sublime, revered individuals into real people. Her controversial, fictionalised rendering humanises the tragic encounters on the battlefield, immortalising the sacrifice of Imam Husain and his family in prose that has the same lyrical force as her original inspiration, Anis marsiyas.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. The four novellas in this volume span the inimitable Ismat Chughtai's literary career, from 1939 to 1971. Each one develops the author's central preoccupation with the lives of women as they experience love, tragedy, societal prescriptions and proscriptions, in collision with their own rebellious spirit. A keen sense of their individual subversive potential and a willingness to take the consequences of obduracy in the face of overwhelming odds, ensures that they are neither hapless nor victims. Through them Chughtai delivers a scathing critique on the hypocrisy and cant of social mores, and the festering maladies that infect society. Chughtai's characteristic mastery of form and technique, her vivid imagery and richness of language make for marvellous story-telling, and create some of the most memorable female protagonists in Indian literature.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. In the two bold and gripping novellas brought together in this volume, the inimitable Ismat Chughtai writes of subversive womensubversive in unexpected waysas they experience romantic and sexual desire, defy societal restrictions, struggle, scheme and sometimes court tragedy. Obsession (Saudai), deals with one of Chughtai's favourite themes, the 'master-servant' romancein this case, two brothers, sons of a feudal household, in love with the same orphan girl. And Wild Pigeons (Jungli Kabutar)based on the experiences of a famous Bollywood personalityprobes the theme of infidelity, dissecting the emotions not only of the partner who is betrayed but also the one who betrays. In Chandni and Abida, the main protagonists of the novellas, Chughtai gives us two of the strongest women in Indian fictionclever, self-willed, flawed and, in the end, far braver than the men in their lives.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. This brilliant translation of Ismat Chughtai's original Urdu novel Ajeeb Aadmi is the riveting story of Dharam Dev, the famous actor, director and producer, and his all-consuming and doomed passion for Zarina Jamal, the young dancer from Madras whom he brings to Bombay and transforms into a charismatic actress. He looks on in anguish as his betrayed wife, Mangala, a well-known playback singer, sinks slowly into alcoholism. When Zarina abandons him, he is overwrought and dies of an overdose, friendless and alone. In an interview, Chughtai described this novel about the Bombay film industry as a story based on the life of a producer-director who killed himself after the dancer he had made into a star left him in the lurch. 'I go into why he commits suicide,' she said, 'why girls run after him and producers like him, and the hell they make for these men and for their wives.' This irreverent, sharply observed narrative of infatuation and ambition is vintage Chughtai.
Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. It's Bapu's birthday today, isn't it? On this day Bharat's son drew his first breath on earth in order to save its inhabitants from slavery. But why this air of gloom that hovers over Chawls in Parel and Lal Bagh, as though no one had been born on October 2, rather thousands had died, millions of hopes had turned to ashes? Bapu belonged to the people, didn't he? Then why has he been appropriated by smugglers? Just as in the old days gods were stolen, he too has been pilfered by people and enclosed in showcases, placed on top of safes used like a stone on the weighing scale of transactions, affixed to boxes of sweets and biscuits, hung over advertisements for shoes. Funds are collected in his name, strikes are called off, controls are removed, and the black-market thrives in his name On the 70th anniversary of Independence, a selection of stories from Ismat Chughtai's formidable body of work, written between1938-1963, that reflects her insights into the loves and lives, as well as the shared histories and experiences of Hindus and Muslims in India. Witty, yet sharp, affectionate, yet clear-eyed, this is Chughtai at her penetrating best, taking a close look at community dynamics through her personal and social bifocals.

Erstausgabe
Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. The youngest in a large but indifferent family, Shaman is a lonely child who convinces herself that she is unlovable. Her adolescent fears and desires grow even as she does: from unruly child to diffident student leader, then idealistic school principal, and finally bitter wife to an Irish Army Captain with whom shea staunch nationalistis fundamentally incompatible. Although able to form some deep friendships, Shaman's sexual and romantic passion remains unfulfilled, deeply impacting her sense of self. The social mirrors the personal, and as her beloved Hindustan struggles towards independence, so Shaman too gropes for some unifying narrative that will help her make sense of an unhappy life. In The Crooked Line, Ismat Chughtai reveals the core of the female psyche. She exposes all in this rich and powerful novel, a triumph of Urdu literature. (jacket).
