Tyanantar
Author: Sāniyā
Publisher: Oxford Novellas
ISBN: 9780198097457
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Tyanantar is a story of an ordinary woman whose husband suddenly leaves her and goes away on his own quest of the meaning of life. Completely unprepared for this, the woman is at first stunned but gradually comes to accept his decision and her own isolation and loneliness. In the process she learns to live her life on her own terms. This journey teaches her to be independent and humane. The woman learns to recognize the meaning of human relationships. Her own relationships - with her friends, her family members and her own son - are put to an acute scrutiny. She realizes how fickle, middle class sensibility and values are and she exposes the sham of people around her who consider family a sacrosanct institution and duty as a vocation of a married woman. They judge every woman in terms of her faithfulness to her husband and her devotion to the role of a wife and a devoted mother that tradition has carved out for her. The woman refuses to be a prisoner of these straightjackets, learns the values of truth and honour, abandons the fakeness of her previous beliefs and becomes more humane and understanding. She develops a new awareness of her own body as well and emerges as a mature adult who has learnt to live life on her own terms.

The Lost World of Sarala Devi
Author: Saraḷā Debī
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 9780199466672
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Sarala Devi was a multifaceted personality. Not only was she a poet, novelist, translator, and critic of great distinction, but also a freedom fighter, feminist, activist, social reformer, and educator. She made significant contributions to building a modern Odisha and to the use of literature for social critique and transformation. She advocated a larger role for women in the public sphere. Despite her prolific oeuvre, her work has completely disappeared from the public domain. This collection fills the gap by tracing her historiography through its compilation of some of her best writings, translated from the original Odiya. These include prose, fiction, short stories, plays, and tales for children. The work stands at the intersection of gender, translation, and cultural history in the interdisciplinary context and contributes significantly to the making of Indian feminism.
