📖 Description
This compelling novel follows the life of Changdeo Patil, a deeply introspective character struggling with illness, existential anxiety, and an overwhelming awareness of mortality. Moving away from his feudal village roots to the bustling city of Mumbai, he embarks on a personal journey marked by isolation, inner conflict, and a search for meaning.
Refusing to conform to the frustrations and disillusionment of his peers, Changdeo chooses a different path—turning toward education and quietly pursuing a Master’s degree without informing his family. His journey reflects the struggles of an individual caught between tradition and modernity, pessimism and aspiration.
The work is originally by Bhalchandra Nemade, a pioneering figure who introduced existentialist themes into Marathi literature. This English version by Santosh Bhoomkar brings the narrative to a wider audience while preserving its philosophical depth and cultural nuance.
Published by Sahitya Akademi, the book is a significant contribution to Indian literature in translation, offering readers a profound exploration of identity, alienation, and personal transformation.
