Hardcover. Zustand: New. A BLISTERING ACCOUNT OF A YOUNG MAN IN EXILE AGAINST THE BACKDROP OF THE SRI LANKAN CIVIL WAR Suspecting that he s getting involved with the liberation movement of the Tamil Tigers at the peak of Sri Lanka s civil war, Nishant s parents sell their land to pay for his illegal immigration across the world to the promised safe haven of Canada.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. These nineteen stories in English translation are from among the more than 150 written by Muttulingam in Tamil. Each story uniquely portrays an astonishing variety of human emotions underling issues of human rights. They have varied motifs and locales in Sri Lanka, Afric, Europe, America and Canada. The author's wide knowledge of cultures, customs and religious practices of diverse people and understanding of environmental issues coupled with his acquaintance with hundreds of birds, animals and numerous branches of science evoke a sense wonder about the world we live in.

All his stories reflect lived experiences narrated in a style that is precise and incisive; the dramatic quality is leavened by abundant humour - features that make Muttulingam one of the greatest Tamil short story writers. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Appadurai Muttulingam's short stories, translated from Tamil to English, are little jewels packed with many riches. Appadurai's characters take us into the heart of the human condition where love guides them, for better or for worse. One can't help but be moved.'DOLLY REISMAN, Writer, Canada'With each Appadurai Muttulingam story, you enter what feels like an intimate circle of seekers seated around a fire.

Rarely is so much wisdom delivered in so sly and entertaining a manner. The stories have a way of transporting you from your dull, mundane existence. It is a journey worth taking.'GERI MODELL, Writer, USA.…
