Synopsis

Across the Black Waters is widely regarded as outstanding among the earlier novels of Mulk Raj. It has been translated in 11 European languages, with the British Council adapting this war-time novel overlooking the claims of classics like All Quiet on the Western Front, into a play to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War I, Anand has finally got the recognition that has eluded this novel.

About this title

Product Description:

'Across the Black Waters is probably (Anand's) best novel since Untouchable, for it exactly communicates the claustrophobic tension of men in the front line, the imminence of death, and the pervading sense of inevitability which is the source of Anand's anger, and at the same time, is at the root of so much Indian fiction.' Alastair Niven British Literacy Critic.

Review:

Mr. Raj is the only hero writer of India, i feel. classic tale of war and being Indians at heart of the soldiers that fought for Britishers during that era. A must read for war fiction category.. --Zahid Ahmed Apr 15, 2015
