Hardback. Condizione: New. Jeumon has a complicated story stuck in her head: her family's. In the newly-drawn boundaries of Assam and Meghalaya in 1972 India, young Jeumon wonders how she should define herself. Is she Assamese, like her father, or Khasi, like her mother?  As a researcher and writer, she speaks with passion of the oral narratives and folk tales shared by the people of the hills and plains, those of different tribes, and those with different languages. To herself, she wonders: if stories can do this, why can't people? Why must they be trapped in singular identities?   In this moving narrative of change, Tilottoma Misra tells the story of one family to explore how lives are impacted by sweeping geographical partitions and how human relationships morph under the weight of political turmoil. …

Soft cover. Condizione: New. Sita's Voice in the Assamese Ramayana is a translation of select verses from the Assamese Saptakanda Ramayana of Madhava Kandali, Sankaradeva and Madhavdeva, written between the 14th-15th centuries CE. This vernacular rendition of the Valmiki Ramayana has been translated with a scholarly introduction by Tilottoma Misra. The selected verses represent a distinctive creative rendition of the Valmiki text from the region of Assam by adding new emotional and philosophic dimensions to it. Especially in the Uttarakanda ascribed to Sankaradeva, Sita's voice acquires a unique quality in her final rejection of Rama thereby expressing her ultimate disillusionment with him, the much-acclaimed paragon of all virtues.…

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Set in the early twentieth century in Shillong, then an emerging colonial town under British rule and the capital of Assam, High Wind is woven around the life of the Sanskrit scholar Banamali Panchatirtha and his wife Haimavati, and their journey from the plans of the Brahmaputra to the hills of Shillong. Tilottoma Misra deftly and sensitively explores the layered complexities of the relationships between the different communities who make Shillong their home the Khasi, the Assamese and the Bengali. As the story unfolds, Haimavati emerges as the central character who quietly but consistently struggles to come out of the clutches of tradition into a more rational and humane world where relationships are not marred by ignorance, prejudice and superstition. The novel was awarded the Lummer Dai Award instituted by the Arunachal Pradesh Literary Society and the Assam Sahitya Sabha in 2017 for its sensitive portrayal of inter-community relationships.…
