Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 217 pp. "Ashes and Waves is Satendra Nandan's collection of stories published in many magazines and books and read on the radio, including the FBC, BBC and ABC. Written with elegant simplicity and poetic sensuality, the stories give glimpses of growing up in a Fijian village, with the loss of innocence, and the dark echoes of Fijian coups of 1987. Satendra's irrepressible humour and wit make them most enjoyable reading.".…

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 225 pp. Included in this volume are seven journeys covering 50 years. Each can be read as a rite of passage. Satendra Nandan's girmit grandparents-maternal and paternal-had crossed the kalapani of seven seas to arrive in Fiji around the 1890s. These voyages of self-discovery and self-reflexivity chart different paths from and within Fiji: the first flight from Nadi Airport to his mother's Antyesti Samskara at the Wailoaloa crematorium. The 'lyrical beauty and ethical depth' of a writer's experience in Fiji, India, and Australia are reflected in each piece: a rare revelation of the journey into one's self. Beyond Paradise is a rich and perceptive harvest of memories-personal, political, professional and poetic. It may enrich your reading and inspire you to write your own unique journeys into life.…

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | 'Born into a once indentured or girmit ('agreement') Indian family in Fiji, and having studied in India and the UK and taught in India and Fiji, Satendra Nandan lays claim to 'a fortunate life'. It has also been an exemplary life to those of us who aspire to understanding and sympathy across the borders of culture and ethnicity, race and nation. This is a personal book of love and loss, life and death, as its author retraces the lives and revisits the deaths of those he has loved most. It is also a tribute to friendship: indeed, friendship is at once the glory and the burden of Satendra's narrative. What reconciles us to what he deplores as 'the fragility of existence and the vulnerability of human life' is precisely the human relationships established over the course of a full and felt life. The author of many recollections and reflections, Satendra is still able to surprise and move us to revisit our own pasts, and the pastness of the past, in order to rediscover what we thought we already knew. Satendra's reflections on his own life resemble nothing so much as a Wordsworthian elegy in which the consolation he is seeking on his own and on the reader's behalf inheres in the very power and self-evident value of what has been lost.' - William Christie, Head, Humanities Research Centre, Australian National University; Director, Australasian Consortium of Humanities Research Centres.…
