Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. A quiet, unassuming novel of lyrical charm and infectious humour! The story could not be simpler. A girl marries and in course of time produces a child. The girl is city bred her husband, a Sanskrit scholar, who has his heart in a remote village and where he takes her after marriage. That is all. Young, playful and mischievous Mohini dreams of a husband but her education and upbringing and the ideas of liberal professor father are unacceptable to her Brahmin traditioned grandmother. Marriage for love is discarded, matrimonial advertisements in the newspapers bring only embarrassment, and it is through a fortune teller that a match is made. Finally charming Mohini is wed and brought to grip with a different reality, a responsibility and a way of life to which she would gladly succumb if only her husband was closer. The unusual cast of characters include a passionate and romantic snake charmer, and a matriarch whose worship of tradition leads her to amorality. Here is a quiet, unassuming novel that has moments of true lyric charm and infections humour. The writer has such a real feeling for people that his characters transcend national barriers and a western reader soon feels comfortable with the unusual cart including the passionate and romantic snake charmer, the lovely girl whom none will marry because her horoscope is accursed, and the matriarch whose worship of tradition leads her to a amorality. We see the best of India the best of any civilisation for that matter in Mohini.' The New York Times 'The customs of old and the ideas of a modern age clash in this fictional account of the marriage of a young girl and a country scholar.' Saturday Review, New York 'A splendid novel that may take rank with Pearl Buck's The Good Earth.' Chicago Tribune 'The story of evolution of seventeen year old, day dreaming girl filled with romantic notions into an emotionally and intellectually mature woman. Bhabani Bhattacharya, as ever, gives a perfectly round female character and paints Mohini s every emotion with ease and dexterity of the seasoned artiste.' Nagpur Times.…

Soft cover. Condition: New. 2nd Edition. A modern fable of rural India narrated against the back drop of freedom struggle. It is a masterly satire on those who live by the lure of the gold. The characters are introduced one by one in a leisurely manner, and we meet among them a pretty girl, a wandering minstrel and a magic talisman. Skilfully blending the worlds of fable and reality in the relatively insulated close textured fabric of rural life it delves deep into the human mind of the rural folk and the closely knit textured fabric of Indian life. The plot centers around a touchstone given to Meera by her noble grandfather. It is believed that the amulet would enable Meera to turn copper into gold, provided she acts kindly as a natural and spontaneous expression of herself. As we read the book, we hear the dialogue between man and his situations, between man and man and between man and the ideas he lives by. It entertains as a story, but it also disturbs us as a warning and as a prophecy. "A most illuminating and satisfying reading experience, recommended without reservation. It is hardly possible to over praise this novel." The Chicago Tribune "Tinkling fable of rural facts of life and pure fun ingredients which Bhattacharya has made his own. Since he loves the people he scolds and his fun-poking is without brittle edges, his lesson is pleasant to take." The New York Times.…
