Harekrishna Deka, winner of the Sahitya Akademi Award and one of Assam's foremost writers, is renowned for his short stories that are as incisive as they are moving. In this selection of his finest short fiction, Deka gives us a searing vision of the human condition, even as he brings alive the unique landscape of Assam in unforgettable images. In the title story, an old woman, the only eyewitness to a crime, is forced to confront her own role in a long-forgotten murder, and the guilt that has lain dormant in her for years rears its monstrous head. 'The Temple' examines how society and religion create the 'other', and what happens when the marginalized refuse to lurk at the edges. 'The Captive' takes the reader through the forests and small hamlets that were once the refuge of militants as it tells the story of a kidnapped man and his unfathomable empathy with his captor. Startling, insightful, and original in tone and form, Guilt and Other Stories presents a world that is both tender and painful. Through the collection runs a vein of rich, dark humour along with a deep, inimitable understanding of Assamese society, culture and history. Brilliantly translated by Mitra Phukan, a celebrated writer herself, these stories will live in the reader's mind long after the last page has been turned.

Aggiungi al carrelloSoft cover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Blossoms in the Graveyard is the story of Mehr, a young girl from a village in what is at that time, East Pakistan. It is the story of her journey from dependence to self-reliance, both emotionally and physically. Parallel to her story, is the narrative of a land that is struggling to assert its identity, and moving towards a hard-won Independence in a crucible of blood and tears. Mehr is the symbol of the land. Her suffering, her distress, her tortured anguish, is an emblem of its agony, in particular of the women of the country, as it is being birthed. Set at a crucial time in the history of the struggle, when the land is on the cusp of becoming Bangladesh, the novel is in the voice of Robin Babu. As an Assamese, he, like so many others living in this part of India that lay adjacent to the theatre of war, is deeply affected by horrors taking place at his very doorstep. Jnanpith Awardee Birendra Kumar Bhattacharyya has told the story with a fine understanding of all the issues involved, in a non-partisan way. Though fiction, it deals with events and issues of recent history. Each of the characters is delineated with empathy, and a thorough understanding of what he or she stands for, without them being typecast in any way. The author's unswerving humanism imbues the whole work with a luminous compassion that is often very moving. The echoes from that time reverberate across the entire subcontinent even today, making this a work of contemporary significance.

A father refuses to talk to his daughter for marrying a card-carrying communist against his wishes, but when his children send him dishes prepared in their kitchens, he will eschew the food prepared by all but the estranged daughter. A grandfather asks his grandson to find him some bogus letterheads belonging to an underground organization, for in a state where extortion falls in the realm of the quotidian, anybody can be an extortionist. A family refuses to acknowledge the real reason for the death of their son from a dreaded disease, fearing social ostracism and wishing to avoid shame. Two old men share dirty jokes and dirty films in a world that disallows pleasures for the elderly. Kahini is a heartening slice-of-life tale about lives lived and experienced in Assam. Using the trope of four men who share an unusual friendship that goes beyond their apparent differences, Sahitya Akademi Award winner Dhrubajyoti Borah chronicles a state that remains robust, bustling and full of life, even as it seems to sit on a powder keg.
