Written by Fakir Mohan Senapati and published between 1897 and 1899, this poignant narrative continues to resonate with readers over a century later due to its innovative storytelling, memorable characters, and sharp insights into rural life. The novel delves into themes of village politics, caste oppression, and land-grabbing prevalent in colonial Odisha, focusing on the character Ramchandra Mangaraj, a cunning zamindar who exploits the land of impoverished farmers. The story highlights the struggles of a humble weaver couple as they confront the harsh realities of caste dynamics and zamindari exploitation. This new translation by Leelawati Mohapatra, Paul St-Pierre, and K.K. Mohapatra revitalizes this significant work, ensuring its relevance in contemporary literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Rupa Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48327939457274,"sku":"D35T9PAKNMCE","price":320.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/0473\/5226\/files\/D35T9PAKNMCE_Cover_1.jpg?v=1730817713","url":"https:\/\/versoz.co.in\/products\/d35t9paknmce","provider":"VERSOZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
