Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 398 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The Address of God, which is, at first sight, a collection of columns written on different occasions to reflect upon or make sense of particular incidents experienced or witnessed by its central character reminds one of a pointillist painting. Each piece in this volume can be seen as a dot on a richly complex canvas which, in combination with other dots, illuminates the shifting contours of a moral and social universe in flux. Apparently unconnected with each other and recounting seemingly isolated events in the lives of ordinary, unremarkable characters, these pieces cumulatively create a living mosaic of impressions that helps one pierce to the fundamentals of existence. The Address of God is studded with such luminously evocative images, which lead us to the rich texture of the meaning underlying the deceptively ordinary surface of the pieces. They disclose the inscrutable wisdom of the heart to which petty calculations of human intellect are utter strangers. The volume draws its intensity from the unobtrusive mastery with which the author employs these images. They stay with us long after we rise from a reading of the narrative the author has expertly woven from fragments of everyday experience.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - About the book: Chhayasoudhara Abasesha (The Remnants of a Shadow house), a novel by Sahitya Akademi award winning author Gourahari Das is an excellent departure from the conventional fictions written on brothels and red-light areas. Keen and critical observation of characters, graphic portrayal of their metempsychosis and the interpretative analysis of the issues in question are some of the special features that set the novel apart from the traditional ones. For Minu, the protagonist, motherhood without shedding any blood is not possible. She who had once reared numerous colourful dreams was disgraced as a blood-thirsty witch and later a damned wretch. Still, she had the unbound zest for life which she wanted to share with all, particularly with the unfortunates. Minu, the prostitute rebelled against the flesh traders and saved the girls dragged forcefully to this heinous profession at the cost of her life. The presentation of a stirring and thought-provoking theme having immense socio-ethical relevance enriched with pathos-ridden mellifluous language and nostalgia beyond any doubt, gives the novel a unique and prestigious place among the must-read Indian novels.…
