Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Troilokyonath Mukhopadhyay s tales are excursions into fantasy, where fact confronts the unreal. He belongs to a group of writers (including Sukumar Ray and Lewis Carroll) who elevated nonsense in literature to an art form. Konkaboti, Troilokyonath s first novel (1892), begins with the chi…ldhood years of the eponymous heroine and Khetu, a boy from her village, who goes to Kolkata to study. In time, their mothers want them to marry, but Konkaboti s avaricious father plans her wedding with an aged zamindar. The prospect appals her and she falls seriously ill. Konka and Khetu undergo amazing experiences, including encounters with ghosts, a trip to the moon and back, and the death of both protagonists. But matters are resolved through a major twist in the tail of the narrative. The effortlessly inventive goings-on compel readers to suspend their disbelief. Translator Arnab Bhattacharya explains in a perceptive Afterword why Troilokyonath s book deserves a wider readership for it travels to imagined worlds scarcely ever portrayed in early Indian fiction.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. Human Rights and the Third World: Issues and Discourses deals with the controversial questions on the universalistic notions of human rights. This book discusses Third World perspectives on human rights and seeks to open up a space in the human rights discourse…to address unresolved questions in the field, citing issues and problems from different countries in the Third World: Should alternative perspectives be taken as the standard for human rights in the Third World countries? Should there be a universalistic notion of rights for Homo sapiens or are we talking about two diametrically opposite trends and standards of human rights for the same species? How far can these Third World perspectives of human rights ensure the protection of the minorities and the vulnerable sections of population, particularly women and children, within the Third World? Can these alternative perspectives help in fighting the Third World problems such as poverty, hunger, corruption, despotism, social exclusion (for example, the caste system in India), communalism, and the like? Can there be reconciliation between Third World perspectives and the Western perspective of human rights.
