hardcover. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. First Edition. Woodstock. 1986. January 1986. Overlook Press. 1st Overlook Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. Remainder Markings On Bottom Edge. 0879512202. 407 pages. hardcover. Jacket illustration by Juan Suarez Botas. keywords: Asia India Literature World Literature. DESCRIPTION - Indian writers say that the truly Indian novel has not yet appeared. There has been nothing which adequately reflects the flavor and wholeness of the traditional Indian way of life, where fact and fable, philosophy and the matter-of-fact blend into one. This harmony THE SERPENT AND THE ROPE achieves, Here the full implications of the meeting of East and West are described on the most intimate plane by Rama, an Indian, who meets Madeleine at a French university. Their marriage is the central theme of the book. Can they preserve their identities, or must one sacrifice an inherited background to make their marriage a success? Family ties on both sides do not help, and Rama's trip back to India for his father's illness forcibly reminds him of the underlying contrasts between India and Europe, and of a certain conflict between them in himself. While there he meets his friend Pratap's fiancEe, Savithri, an event which is to alter the whole perspective of his life. When he returns to France Rama and Madeleine have to face their problems and find their own solutions. Raja Rao's KANTHAPURA was acclaimed as one of the most significant novels since E.M. Forster's A PASSAGE TO INDIA; the subject of THE SERPENT AND THE ROPE is even more fundamental and universal. This and his memorable style, a compound of the unhurried breath of the Eastern sense of time with a fresh and Indian imagery, provide not only a compelling story but a new literary experience. inventory #26890 Very Good in Dustjacket.
