Hardbound. Zustand: As New. New. The poems in this collection cover the various themes that have left an imprint on Dr. Goswami's heart and mind. The very themes which became the plots of her fictions have also become the imaginations and feelings expressed in her poems. The terrible sense of pain that the sight of buffalo sacrifice creates in her of an inexplicable surge of pain and awe that the river Brahmaputra brings about of love and grief that company of the beloved offers themes such as these has been the source of her prose as well as her poems in this collection. In her own words Life is a river of separation and the poems are experiences of being born into it living in it and departing with death from it. Being primarily a prose writer Dr. Goswami considers her poems as footnotes to her fictions. But often the poems transcend this and form a poetic world in itself. 80 pp.…

His uniqueness comes from the tact that he is not merely a villain but also a highly accomplished character in arts and learning. Ravana's accomplishments make him a most distinct villain in the epic traditions of the world. The different essays that are brought together in this volume bring out this greatness in the character of Ravana. The essays also show how the tradition of Ramayana exists in different forms and with different meanings in various parts of South Asia and South East Asia. But the one constant feature in all these traditions as the essays show is the nature of accomplishment that is associated with the character of Ravana. The essays in this volume consist of lectures commentaries and research works that have been carried out especially since 20 century till the present times. The essays also remind us of the fact that analysis of the Ramayana would remain incomplete without considering the role of Ravana in making possible the subtlety and grandeur that the epic is infused with. 114 pp.…
