Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. The story of Siddhartha, the future Gautama Buddha, leaving the palace to start his spiritual journey and attain enlightenment has been told innumerable times over the centuries. And yet, have we never wondered why his young wife, Yashodhara, still recovering from the birth of their son nine days ago, sleeps soundly as her husband, the over-protected prince departs, leaving behind his family and wealth and kingdom? In Yashodhara, the gaps of history are imagined with fullness and fierceness: Who was the young girl and what shaped her worldview? When she married Siddhartha at the age of sixteen, did she know her conjugal life would soon change drastically? The Yashodhara we meet in Volga's feminist novel is quick-witted, compassionate and wants to pave a way for women to partake in spiritual learning as equals of men.…

Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. The Demon's Daughter is a sixteenth-century novel by the south Indian poet Pingali Suranna, originally written in Telugu. Suranna begins with a story from classical Hindu mythology in which a demon plans to overthrow the gods. Krishna's son Pradyumna is sent to foil the plot and must infiltrate the impregnable city of the demons; Krishna helps ensure his success by having a matchmaking goose cause Pradyumna to fall in love with the demon's daughter. The original story focuses on the ongoing war between gods and anti-gods, but Pingali Suranna makes it an exploration of the experience of being and falling in love. In this, the work evinces a modern sensibility, showing love as both an individualized emotion and the fullest realization of a person, transcending social and cultural barriers. The translators include an afterword that explores the cultural setting of the work and its historical and literary contexts. Anyone interested in the literature and mythology of India will find this book compelling, but all readers who love a good story will enjoy this moving book. Velcheru Narayana Rao and David Shulman have provided an elegant translation that will serve well the contemporary reader who wishes to encounter a masterwork of classical Indian literature.…

Soft cover. Condition: New. An elegy to kolleru, one of India's largest freshwater lakes located in Andhra Pradesh, akkineni kutumbarao's novel kolleti jadalu vividly brings alive the villages and people whose lives are woven inseparably with the lake. Swamped by water, this is the precarious life-world of a people in a constant struggle to survive in an environment that is nurturing and bountiful, yet unpredictable and hostile. The story of the lake and the people whose lives and hopes, joys and sorrows depend on it is told through the eyes of five-year-old seen. With dry humour, gentle irony and profound human empathy, kutumbarao details a little-known and rich world, brutally destroyed as the market ultimately triumphs over nature. Softly dies a lake is at once memory, history, tribute, lament, apology and penance; to a childhood, to a lake, to a people, to a vital but lost way of life. The translation by veteran feminist rights activist and writer, Vasanth kannabiran, seamlessly brings to us the world of kolleru in all its transient beauty. This memoir reminds us of ecology mantraeverything is connectedand is a must-read for all lovers of literature and everyone who feels responsible for their only home: the Earth.…

An anthology of modern Telugu short stories is a collection of twenty-eight short stories by writers of Telugu fiction who have carved a niche for themselves in the annals of Indian literature. These are stories about everyday lives and ordinary people, highlighting the issues confronting the society covering a wide spectrum of topics. A total of seventeen writers are featured in the volume, nine of them being women writers. The writers include stalwarts of yesteryears as also the current set of writers who are making waves in the realm of Telugu literature. Feudalistic prejudices to present day problems and realities find a place in the stories. The stories range from the serious to the satirical, from light hearted humour to grave discursive. Critical issues dealt in a simple but effective style and the significance of seemingly trivial issues is highlighted with style and poise. All in all, a representative collection that addresses issues of national relevance even if situated within the perimeters of Telugu culture and lifestyle. A book of equal appeal to the casual reader as well as the discerning one.…

The author answers seminal questions including: How are these writers different from mainstream Indian writers who write in English? Themes and issues that could be compared to or contrasted with the diasporic literatures written in English are also explored.The book offers a significant examination of the nature and dynamics of the multilingual Indian society and culture, and its global readership.
