Hardcover. Zustand: New. Intizar Husain is the finest writer of Urdu prose and the most brilliant story-teller of the post-partition generation. The two novellas, Day and Dastan (Din Aur Dastan), his favourite texts, show his versatility and fictional inventiveness. Day, a realistic story, is a meditation on the cruellest of eve…nts to have scarred our times migrations. When people are forced to move to new homes or new geographies, they only recall a mix of uncanny facts, streets lost in sad nostalgias, fantasies of lovers, parables of simple things, or an unending romance about a possible life and a world. When physical geographies are redrawn, moral landscapes become so bewildering as to leave one emotionally paralysed. As in Intizar Husain's other work, India's partition haunts the tale like an inexplicable shadow. In contrast, Dastan is a traditional tale of wonder. Its language is lyrical and exaggerated; its narrative, obsessed with action, weaves dreams and adventure, heroism and mercy, beauty and love, magic and grace. It is located in another time of turmoil and uncertainty when mysterious forces cause havoc in nature and societies rise up suddenly to avenge old wrongs. The 1857 war of independence is prophesied by a mysterious faqir; rivers suddenly break their banks; an old haveli is left desolate; a princess weeps beside a fountain; a parrot shows a soldier the road to take; and hope of political change is fatally lost. Intizar Husain is neither a social critic nor a preacher; he is a story-teller - a supreme one.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Traversing the Silk Road in the fourth century ce, Kumarajiva, the son of a Kashmiri Buddhist teacher and a Chinese Princess, radically transformed the history of Buddhism and East Asian culture by translating Buddhist scriptures from Sanskrit and Pali into Chinese. His odyssey along the Silk Road in tim…es of territorial wars and dynastic changes was in search of knowledge of the Self and the Buddha's moral teachings about the wisdom of following the 'middle path' to nirvana, the final liberation from the cycles of rebirth. In Kumarajiva, Kunwar Narain imagines the life of the enlightened Buddhist scholar and monk about whom very little is known. Narain's elegant and richly composed long narrative poem is a meditation on the mysteries of life and universal truths that hold meaning for all times. Alok Bhalla's lyrical translation of Kumarajiva retains the layers and textures of Narain's work, weaving into it a philosophical profoundness that honours not just Narain but also the scholar-monk.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The Vampire Tale, by Alok Bhalla, is not an anecdotal account of popular texts about vampires. Instead, the book is a scholarly and imaginative analysis of why many fictional works in England used vampiric motifs to think about the problem of evil in human beings and inequality in society. Bhalla suggest…s that vampire stories are disturbing because they are structured out of the unresolved conflicts between ethics and politics, freedom and labour, eroticism and power that were being discussed extensively in the Romantic and Victorian age. The vampire legend, Bhalla argues, offers a non-redemptive, nightmare history of the moral, social and political conditions England between 1750 and the end of the nineteenth century. The book opens with a brief survey of a few major moral, political and psychological reasons that inform the vampire lore. The two original and complex sections that follow show how the vampire myth is invoked in the works of Lord Byron, John Polidori, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Thomas Preskett Prest, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and others to examine issues of sexuality, law and religion. In the final section, Bhalla demonstrates that Bram Stoker's Dracula is simultaneously a novel of supernatural terror and a visionary account of late Victorian London as a city of affliction and dread. Bhalla's thesis is that the vampire tale is the product of a dark imagination that sees nothing but horror at the heart of things as they are and finds no rationally coherent explanation for it. About the Author Alok Bhalla is a widely published critic, translator and poet. In 2023, he received the Foundation of SAARC Writers and Literature Award for Literature.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. In The Cartographers of Hell, Alok Bhalla argues that the Gothic novel is neither located in some supernal space beyond the profane world in which human beings conduct their daily lives nor is it lost in some a historic and mythic time, but is grounded in the economic, social, political and moral conditi…ons of England in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. After a critical analysis of some modern theories about Gothicism, Alok Bhalla puts forward the startling thesis that the Gothic novel rejects pastoral nostalgias and religious presuppositions as demonic illusions, and concerns itself with those conditions of inequality, power and labour that define the material lives of human beings. Bhalla's arguments are supported by fine and sensitive readings of novels by Horace Walpole, Ann Radcliffe, Matthew Gregory Lewis, Charles Robert Maturin, Mary Shelley, James Hogg, and others.

Section II: Papers in Hindi Transmission, mobility, adaptation and concrete expression of the Rama theme among different communities and regions in India and outside is the finest example of the power of the 'oral word' that transcends all boundaries, be they geographic, temporal, social or literary. It provides for plurality, diversity and continuity of the tradition transcending the rigid boundaries of the text to flow in multiple streams and directions meeting with tributaries and rivulets along the way. In order to explore, understand and comprehend this living and vibrant Rama tradition in Indian culture, the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts, in 2008, convened an international conference Ramkatha: Ankan, Manchan aur Vaachan under its ongoing project, Living Traditions of Ramkatha and Mahabharata. The present volume consists of select papers presented in this conference along with others that were specially invited from eminent scholars in the field. The papers here range from textual to oral, performance and pictorial renderings of Rama theme both in traditional and contemporary contexts, covering a large geographic area and diverse communities. For example, Bhil Ram Sitama ni Varta, Kunkana Ramkatha, Gond Ramayani, Rama traditions among the Ramnamis of Chhattisgarh, Ramman of Garhwal, Bundeli Ramkatha, Mewati Ramkatha and Ramkatha traditions among the Khasis, to name a few. The volume also contains essays on traditional and modern presentations of Rama theme in Southeast Asia. The volume is broadly organised under four themes: sacred geography, narrative, performance, and pictorial traditions. However, several of them overlap and flow into one another. The book is further divided into two sections: the first contains papers in English and the second in Hindi. This book is a significant addition to the existing literature on Ramayana and Ramkatha traditions and of great value to scholars of Indian culture, folklorists, anthropologists and Indologists.
