Hardcover. Zustand: New. A literary colossus - THE NEW YORK TIMES One of the greatest Indian writers of the last century - PANKAJ MISHRA A masterpiece that will continue to speak to generations - K. SATCHIDANANDAN First published in Kannada in 1978, Avasthe is U.R. Ananthamurthy's tour de force. In a nation struggling with corruption and the corrosion of human values, the prime minister is all set to become a ruthless dictator. From his sickbed, Krishnappa Gowda, revolutionary leader of the peasants, grapples with his conscience, the schemes of partymen and flattery from hangers-on. Memories come and go as his mind, tethered to a failing body, reaches for the true meaning of life. In Ananthamurthy's hands, life's cruel negations - caste, poverty, pettiness - are delicately balanced with its triumphs - the splendour of nature, the majesty of poetry, the delight of friendship, the deliverance of love. The quintessential Indian novel, Avasthe is a masterpiece whose meanings will continue to resonate and reveal themselves long after it has been read.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. A fascinating portrait of the life and ideas of the great Indian writer and public intellectual, U.R. Ananthamurthy. Between 2012 and 2013, Ananthamurthy shared his personal experiences in a series of lively conversations with academic and writer Chandan Gowda, and reflected on issues that would preoccupy him until the end. Besides the vivid accounts of his childhood, friendships, the evolution of his intellectual life, and public involvements, his passionate ideas on tradition, on India's political culture, and on language and writing make the conversations an engaging and valuable document. A Life in the World - perhaps the first exercise of its kind done with an Indian writer - will enthral both general readers as well as admirers of Ananthamurthy's works. …
