Seller's Description:
Very Good jacket. London. 1987. Chatto & Windus. 1st British Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0701124768. 979 pages. hardcover. keywords: Autobiography India History. DESCRIPTION-Winner of the Duff Cooper prize for The Continent of Circe, Nirad Chaudhuri has long been recognised as one of the finest and most important Indian writers of this century. In 1951 he published The Autobiography of an Unknown Indian, which covered the first twenty-two years of his life in Calcutta and Bengal, and has been described by V. S. Naipaul as 'the one great book to have come out of the Indo-English encounter. ' Published to coincide with Mr Chaudhuri's ninetieth birthday, Thy Hand, Great Anarch! takes further what is certain to be acclaimed as a classic autobiography. Once again, Mr Chaudhuri combines the most vivid and touching account of his private life and his often precarious career as a clerk, journalist and broadcaster with a sardonic, almost Gibbonian survey of Indian and Bengali politics in the turbulent years that led up to and culminated in Independence. No respecter of pious orthodoxies, and never afraid to ventilate his forceful and controversial views, he castigates with an impartial hand pusillanimous British politicians, cynical Indian nationalists and hypocritical Congress Party leaders while providing memorable-and not always flattering-portraits of Gandhi, Nehru, Tagore, Mountbatten and other British and Indian leaders. Compelling as autobiography and invaluable for the light it sheds on a crucial period in Indian politics, it is a revealing self-portrait of a remarkable man and a major contribution to the history of our times. inventory #12554.
