Soft cover. Condition: New. Published in 1916, Nandshankar Jeevan Chitra, Vinayak Mehta s biography of his father Nandshankar Tuljashankar Mehta (1835 1905), Gujarat s first novelist and an eminent educationist and administrator, is the earliest modern father-son biography in Gujarati. Written at a time when the advent of English education had led to a turbulent new stream of reform, agitating the old world of Surat, the period 1860 1880 was also the high tide of creativity when the young Nandshankar, along with luminaries like Narmadashankar, Navalram and Mahipatram, dominated the Gujarat literary scene. Vinayak narrates Nandshankar s eclectic life against the backdrop of Surat, a vibrant cosmopolitan port, and its changing political fortunes between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. He creates a composite picture of the rich cultural life of the period from fragments: remembered conversations, songs, poetry, witty anecdotes, and sketches of eccentric teachers, inept physicians and alcoholic judges. Vinayak presents facets of his father s life: his boyhood shaped by British schoolmasters, Nandshankar as administrator, and Nandshankar as author of the historical novel Karan Ghelo. Drawn against a vivid and colourful backdrop of a changing culture, Nandshankar is presented as a man who navigated the disruptive aspects of modernity with grace and integrity. The biography, the outcome of historiography and historical craft combined with Vinayak s literary and aesthetic sensibilities, reveals a work of astonishing eloquence, erudition and foresight. In her nuanced, scholarly and meticulously researched translation, Radhika Jayakar Herzberger traces a hundred years of Surat s social history, while carefully unravelling concerns important to the biographer and his times, and gently reading between the lines to uncover the hitherto unknown and untold story of his father s life.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Viikyapadiya of Bhartrhari and the Pramii1Jasamuccaya of Dignaga - are seminal texts in the history of ancient Indian philosophy. One text deals with grammar, the other with logic, both are the work of committed metaphysicians. Written within a span of less than a hundred years, between the fifth and the sixth centuries A.D., these texts have generally been treated separately, as representing independent schools of thought. This essay attempts to interpret these texts jointly, as a dialogue between a grammarian and a logician. This way of approaching these texts highlights unexpected facets of Bhartrhari's and Dignaga's theories of language and is intended to identify the individual achievements of each. Above all, this treatment is an exercise in writing the intellectual history of a period in time, rather than a history of a school of philosophy. The prevailing view of Bhartrhari holds that his linguistic techniques are not intrinsic to his metaphysics. The conclusions reached in the present essay are that Bhartrhari's metaphysics underlie his linguistic techniques and articulate their presuppositions. The prevailing view of Dignaga maintains that for him language deals with illusory entities and must falsify what is real. The conclusions reached in the present essay are that Dignaga's logical rules are designed to ensure that in using language one is not committed to a belief in fictional entities. My debt to modern scholarship in the field is considerable. 284 pp. Englisch.
