The Great Indian Novel

The Great Indian Novel PDF Author: Shashi Tharoor

Book Description
In this award-winning novel, Tharoor has masterfully recast the two-thousand-year-old epic, The Mahabharata, with fictional but highly recognizable events and characters from twentieth-century Indian politics. Nothing is sacred in this deliciously irreverent, witty, and deeply intelligent retelling of modern Indian history and the ancient Indian epic The Mahabharata. Alternately outrageous and instructive, hilarious and moving, it is a dazzling tapestry of prose and verse that satirically, but also poignantly, chronicles the struggle for Indian freedom and independence.

Book Description
The Book Aims At An Evaluation Of The Novels Of Kamala Markandaya In The Perspective Of Class-Consciousness Embedded In Her Fictional Narrative. The Study Attempts To Explore The Impact Of Class-Consciousness On The Attitudes, Manners And Conditions Of Living In The Context Of Modern India As It Moves From A Conservative And Traditional Social Order To A Liberal And Urbanised Socio-Economic And Cultural Ethos. It Seeks To Explore Markandaya S Concern With The Predicament Of The Individual In A Class-Ridden Society Subjected To A Process Of Radical Change. An Attempt Has Been Made To Substantiate The Hypothesis That In The Process Of This Change, The Self Confronts Tensions, Uncertainties And Conflicts That Lead To Deep Psychological And Spiritual Wounds. The Self, With Its Desires, Instincts And Dreams, Encounters A World Of Reality Governed By Social, Economic And Cultural Forces. This Encounter Leads To A Crisis Of Identity. The Self Tries To Surmount This Crisis Through Resistance Or Reconciliation, Through Protest Or Surrender. In This Process Of Self S Grappling With Reality, There Is Anguish And Suffering. This Study, In Short, Is An Attempt To Exploring The Paradox Of Human Condition In Terms Of Conflict Between Self And Society, Between Free Will And Necessity.

Book Description
The Fictional Scene In England, Immediately After The Second World War, Makes An Interesting Reading. Many Critical Studies Have, In Great Depth, Investigated The Historical Processes To Highlight The Various Directions The Novelists Moved In Then. At The Same Time, There Was A Concurrent And A Deliberate Attempt On The Part Of These Novelists To Discard The Heritage Of 'Modernism.' Iris Murdoch, Who Is One Of The Most Prominent Novelists Of This Period, Also Shared The Distrust Of Her Contemporaries For The So-Called Literary Radicalism. However, She Remains Distinct As A Writer Among Her Contemporaries, In Her Awareness Of The Problems Of The Novel And Language, In Her Adherence, Both To The Idealism About Human Potentiality And Perfectibility That Liberal Humanism Had Contained. But She Is Also Conscious Of The Limited Individual Capacity To Reach That Ideal. Her Creative Career Is Marked By Her Desire To Bring Back To The Novel, Some Of Its Earlier Comprehensive Vision Of Life, Society And Human Character.The Present Book Attempts To Reveal Those Important Areas Of Murdoch'S Thought Which Set Her Apart From Other Novelists Writing At That Time. Her Search For Literary Metaphors Which Aim At Restoring To Novel Some Of Its Lost Moorings Is A Significant, Almost Iconoclastic Effort. Taking Help From Her Non-Fictional Treatises, An Attempt Has Been Made In This Book To Highlight The Platonic Burden Of Her Literary And Aesthetic Creed.
