बसाइँ basain book pdf
Perfect for what I wanted a glimpse into Nepali life Basain Interesting look into the daily life of a family in Nepal Basain Basain This book is like Premchand s Godaan but on a smaller scale Mountains Painted With Turmeric is a translation of the Nepali novella Basain and depicts village life in Nepal and the problems of a farmer living in perpetual debt Spoilers ahead Dhan Bahadur Basnet is trying to meet ends meet and pay off his debts to keep his family of 4 wife son and sister Jhuma happy but fortune does not favour him The novel is neither a heroic story nor an utter tragedy It emphasises the helplessness of human situation and remains firmly rooted in realism with apparently no poetic justice as the greedy moneylenders get their way in the end and Dhane is driven out of his land Jhuma s life which she was all set to end takes a hopeful turn for the better but Dhane s keeps going downhill The novel is fatalistic and seems to emphasise the fruitlessness of fighting against either social norms or fate Basain A great novella length book that is as powerful as Hemingway s The Old Man and Sea and Kafka s The Metamorphosis Basain Basain I discovered this book while glancing through a collection of books being sold for a mere dollar at my library Something about the title instantly grabbed my attention and I picked it up without even reading the description I finally got around to reading this book as it patiently waited among all the other books I haven t read yet I finished it in a day as it is not a long read Yet it surprises me how quick I read this considering how much depth and weight this story covers I appreciated this book for telling an unfortunate reality so honestly and bluntly There is no ending that justifies the pain the struggles and the collapses of the main character s life And I m glad there isn t Really this story is just a giant reflection of what people across the world from me are going through in real life due to societal rules I think it is right to honor these people who see their own similar story within these pages and understand their reality The main character s contemplation of fate describes his poor fortune I think entirely Fate is made by human arrangement Fate depends on the good order of society on cooperation in society on the chance and facilities you can get in society Today if he had had even the smallest opportunity if his society had cared to understand his plightwould his labors not have borne fruit Basain Such a beautiful prose Very simple and very understated writing Reminds me of how Hemingway wrote in The Old Man and the Sea Basain Ek Chihan are relics from the era where we found Nepali literature and Nepali stories at their purest and undiluted This was a wonderful read Basain Probably the very best novel I have ever read by a Nepali author Basain its original title will remind you a bit of something by John Steinbeck with its focus on the lives of the poor in the middle hills of Nepal struggling against the capricious forces of nature the cruel greed of the landowning class and the grinding unforgiving hand of fate that is so rarely on the side of the oppressed Basain Basain One of the best books by a Nepali writer I have read Work of high literary order In Nepali titled Basain this book hinges about a theme of social realism depicting realities of economic oppression and social injustice in a feudal society in the Nepali hills It is a heart aching tale of how the oppressed go on rolling downhill while the oppressor always has the upper hand and keeps on pushing the oppressed because of a faulty order in a feudal society The prose displays amazing stylishness in Nepali The English translation by Professor Michael Hutt is equally good although the subtler nuances of the Nepali language are lost in the translation Basain
