Download or read book Vaidehi Kathana - A Critical Study of Vaidehi’s Narratives written by Prof T P Ashoka and published by Manipal Universal Press. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vaidehi Kathana is the first full-length literary critical study of the fictional, non fictional and poetic narratives of Vaidehi, who is considered to be one of the most celebrated contemporary Indian writers in Kannada. This work reviews, introduces, discusses and interprets all the writings of Vaidehi, which include short stories, poems, essays and a novel. The book examines how this great Indian writer has been reacting and responding to her time and space for the last four decades. The book shows how Vaidehi’s poetics has so subtly blended with her politics thereby creating some of the outstanding masterpieces in poetry and fiction of our times. The book discusses the special features of Vaidehi’s feminist perspectives as well as the uniqueness of her narrative skills. Arguing that Vaidehi’s spiritual triumph is demonstrated in her technical triumph, the book draws the attention of the non-Kannada readers to the entire body of Vaidehi’s writings. Lucidly translated into English by the noted translator O L Nagabhushana Swamy, T P Ashoka’s Vaidehi Kathana provides a meaningful opportunity for the non-Kannada readers to familiarize themselves with one of the greatest contemporary writers of India. T P Ashoka’s Vaidehi Kathana is a significant contribution to modern Indian literary criticism. The book provides an interesting reading not only to the students of literature, researchers and teachers but also appeals to the general readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All human catastrophes triggered trails of literary creations everywhere in the world. The literatures spawned by the Great Plague of London, American Civil War, two World Wars, Holocaust, Communist Revolutions, Spanish Flu, and HIV are some of the glaring instances. The literary monuments they spewed stand like the lighthouses to guide the floundering ship of humanity to the safer shores of the stormy ocean. Similarly, there will be a surfeit of Corona literatures in times to come which would stand as testimony to this unprecedented calamity and inspire humanity to keep alert against such future eventualities. We have had our chance but may not have the next? “Awake, Arise, and Act!” Each story in the collection depicts an unsavory situation, precipitated by the sudden Corona afflictions, to display the ordinary young men and women making extraordinary moves to save their life, morality, and sanity. The innate elemental forces take full charge of the ghastly conditions and the characters hold on by the dint of their innate physical strength, moral courage, and intellectual ingenuity. Finally they come out victorious and spend the rest of their lives happily. The stories both individually and collectively send out a message to the vulnerable people not to give in but to fight heroically in the face of the deadly conditions. The victory will be ultimately yours in life as well as in death.

I know thy sisterly affection for the jasmine. Here it is, on the right. Shakuntala approaching the jasmine. Thou " Light of the Grove," though thou be wedded to the mango tree, yet embrace me with thy twining arms which now thou extendest toward me. From this day I must dwell afar from thee. Kanva. As erst my soul for thee designed, By pleasing virtues hast thou won A worthy spouse. This jasmine too Has joined the mango tree. Henceforth No anxious care for thee, nor her! Now proceed on thy journey. Shakuntala to her two friends. To you, my dear friends, I intrust its care. The Two Friends. And into what friendly hands do you now commit us? Wiping away their gathering tears. Kanva. Ah, Anasuya, no more crying! You should instead cheer Shakuntala. Allproceed, Shakuntala. Dear father, yonder near the cottage grazes my doe, heavy with the young she carries. When she is a mother you will let me know the pleasing news, will you not? Kanva. I will not forget it. Shakuntala feeling herself checked. But what is that fastened to my dress? Turns around. Kanva. Dear daughter: The fawn, thy foster child, it is, Whom thine own hand has gently fed With grains of rice; the fawn whose mouth, When stung by Kusha, thou didst heal With soothing oil of Ingudi. He cannot now forsake thy path. Shakuntala. Why, dear little fawn, dost thou follow me, who am forsaking my friends? I did nurse thee when soon after thy birth thy mother died; now, when I am gone, my father will care for thee. Therefore follow me no more. Moves on, weeping. Kanva. Be firm, and wipe away the tears That cling unto thy fringed eye! They make thy steps uncertain here Upon...

Book excerpt: The play Shakuntala was one of the first examples of Indian literature to be read in translation in Europe. Shakuntala's story is a leitmotiv that recurs in many works of Indian literature and culminates in the master Kali-dasa's drama for the stage. The virtuous heroine is forgotten by her betrothed, the king Dushyanta, only to be refound thanks to a distinguishing signet ring discovered by a fisherman in the belly of one of his catch. The final act distills the essence of human forgiveness, in Shakuntala's gracious release of her husband from his guilt.

Download or read book Sakuntala written by Romila Thapar and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The figure of Sakuntala appears in many forms throughout South Asian literature, most famously in the Mahabharata and in Kalidisa's fourth-century Sanskrit play, Sakuntala and the Ring of Recollection. In these two texts, Sakuntala undergoes a critical transformation, relinquishing her assertiveness and autonomy to become the quintessentially submissive woman, revealing much about the performance of Hindu femininity that would come to dominate South Asian culture. Through a careful analysis of sections from Sakuntala and their various iterations in different contexts, Romila Thapar explores the interactions between literature and history, culture and gender, that frame the development of this canonical figure, as well as a distinct conception of female identity.
