The Novels of Amitav Ghosh - Paperback

by Namita Sharma (Author)

Amitav Ghosh is a writer who has embraced almost every genre of fictional and non-fictional writing in English. His span of writing covers history, science fiction, marginalized, post-colonial, feministic approach but with the single motive of bringing to the readers that which has not been discussed so far. Though he is emotionally and professionally bound to his native land, his stories do travel afar, particularly Middle East, America, Britain and Bangladesh but each time he returns to his origins, namely India and Bangladesh. Every. journey is an exploration of ties both old and new, sometimes delving deep into the fathoms of the colonial past and at others an examination of people, a journey into the realms of human feelings and sufferings.
