This translation from the Bangla Antarghat is the story of a group of young friends who had committed themselves idealistically and politically to the Naxalite movement that rocked Bengal in the 1960s. Moving seamlessly from the past to the present, Basu's narrative is compelling and breathless, as the novel's edgy, nervous rhythms reconstruct and call up the turbulent history of a difficult period.

Like the Buddha Chanak advocates the Rajsangha a peaceful union of states in place of an aggressive empire. Such revolutionary ideas many stirring events and unexpected resolutions are depicted in Bani Basu's new Jataka which by its very nature must focus on a particular birth of the Buddha. Long established states like Gandhara and Madra are in decline while Magadha the middle country a new comer is on the rise. Classes and castes too are in upheaval with the wealthy merchants increasing their power and status at the expense of Brahmins and Kshatriyas. Freedom is in the very air for men and women but will it bear fruit. Are renunciation and immersion in spirituality advocated by that extraordinary God like being the Buddha the way forward. Or are life and spiritual joy opposed to each other. In a tale grapples with history there is a huge cast of people the Buddha and the members of his Sangha King Bimbisara and his patricidal son Ajatashatru as well as some who could have been real. There are many female characters like Bishakha a brilliant independent young woman her remarkably wise and capable mother the Lady Sumana Queen Kshema who joins the order of Buddhist nuns learned and respected courtesans Amrapali and Jitasoma to common folk. Translated for the first time into English from the original Bengali Basu's portrayal of this brilliant age with the Buddha as its tragic heart will dazzle and move the reader. 502 pp.

Aggiungi al carrelloSoft cover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface by Meena Banerjee. Gandharvi (Chapter 1 27; Epilogue). Glossary. Gandharvi: Life of a Musician, by the Sahitya Akademi Award-winning novelist Bani Basu (and translated by English scholar Jayita Sengupta), tells the story of Apala, a gifted singer of Hindustani classical music. She was born into an old, middle-class family of limited means in north Calcutta. To her family, her music meant little, as it did not fit their idea of respectability . Her husband chose her after hearing her sing at a public concert, yet her marital life proved loveless. Her in-laws were insensitive and exploitative. Her children grew up learning to ignore their mother s music. Shorn of freedom, love and, above all, music, Apala s life moved towards a tragic end. Surrounding Apala s story are the interlinked lives of other practitioners of music and classical art, like Soham, Mitul, Rameshwar Thakur, Dipali and Shekharan. Their lives intersected with Apala s in ways that profoundly affected all of them. Written in lilting prose that draws on the idioms of Hindustani classical music, Gandharvi is also musical in its form, where in the end the movement of music and the life story of Apala become one and the same. A thinly veiled depiction of the classical music scene of Calcutta in the 1960s, this modern Bengali classic is also a celebration of the indomitable spirit of music. (jacket).
