Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Wilmington, DE, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Explore the depths of early 20th century Nepal with the English translation of Krishna Dharabasi's revered novel, "Jhola." Presented to international readers by translator Durga Banwasi Shiwakoti, this compelling story delves into the grim tradition of Sati, compelling a widow to immolate herself on her husband's funeral pyre.Set in a time when society was ensnared by oppressive rituals, "Jhola" is narrated through the eyes of a young boy. The traumatic event of his grandmother's Sati profoundly affects him, setting him on a path against age-old customs and in pursuit of women's emancipation."Jhola" is not just a critique of historical practices but also a timeless meditation on women's roles and rights. Shiwakoti's translation captures the emotional gravity and cultural authenticity of the original Nepali work, offering it to a worldwide audience.This edition transcends the boundaries of a mere literary piece; it serves as a cultural conduit, an educational tool, and an emblem for transformation, challenging readers to scrutinize inherited norms and advocating for the abolition of detrimental traditions for a more just society.Embark on this riveting journey with "Jhola," where past truths and traditions clash, igniting a movement for societal change and championing the cause of women's rights.Ideal for enthusiasts of historical fiction, cultural tales, and narratives of social change, "Jhola" stands as a beacon of human resilience and the impactful echo of a single voice calling for justice.
