Aggiungi al carrelloSoft cover. Condizione: New. Rogues among the Ruins portray the conflict of civil servants caught between ideals and thirst for success. The novel adopts the style of great masters like Gogol and Cervantes who, in their search for truth, evoke laughter through tears. The first part of the novel is a gripping fictionalized account of the workings of the Archaeological Survey of India and the painful predicaments of a dedicated but naïve scholar faced with temptations. The scholar's son, a morally indifferent bureaucrat, chronicles a later era in the second part. Through tawdry dramas, administrative acrobatics of sycophants and hypocrites, he encounters the sordid reality of powerful men and women who think they rule the country. With sardonic humour, sympathy and reluctant respect the narrator takes the reader on a journey through Glory Road where principles are discarded by the ambitious, where the proud encounter humiliations, where idealists are scorned, and sometimes those with stubborn strength overcome ordeals.

Alexander Pushkin, Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, Rabindranath Tagore and Alexander Solzhenitsyn are separated by different ages, different societies, different races and creeds. They are united by a universality of purpose - of protest against injustice and oppression.All four could have led secure and comfortable lives but they chose danger, exile and even death to express their sympathy for the oppressed. All four upheld the grandeur of freedom. All four were men of courage.Leela Moulik and Bela Mazumdar were sisters who composed the monographs on Bankim Chandra and Rabindranath Tagore in chaste Bengali. Their daughter/niece Aloka Moulik Chatterjee, historian and translator, translated them into English. Her sister Achala M. Moulik wrote about Pushkin and Solzhenitsyn.While portraying the lives and works of the four authors the four gifted women have brought to life the tumult of other times.
