Produktbeschreibung
A vivid portrait of rural Bengal under British rule, Govinda Sámanta, Or The History Of A Bengal Ráiyat captures the soul of a vanished world. Lál Behári Day's masterwork immerses readers in the intricate rhythms of 19th-century Indian village life, where every harvest, custom, and hardship reveals the enduring spirit of a people shaped by history. Here, the everyday struggles and quiet joys of a Bengali farmer become the lens for exploring the complexities of colonial India, social structure, and cultural heritage. Blending historical fiction with meticulous observation, Day's narrative offers an intimate analysis of rural society-its bonds, its burdens, and its beauty. The novel stands as a cornerstone of 19th-century Indian literature, admired by readers of classic literature and students of Indian history alike. Its evocative depiction of rural Bengal and nuanced study of British India's social fabric foreshadow the later works of Rabindranath Tagore and remain essential for anyone interested in Indian cultural studies. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
