The renowned writer has stolen many hearts for many years now.
His talent and
premier educational acumen has taken him to among the world-class writers. In
the trend of best sellers let us not forget that not all classics are best
sellers. The works of Amitav has found a revered place with the learned section.
While in college I came to be acquainted with this writer but had no chance to
read his works for many years. Recently, his works are again in discussion in all
circles.
Acceptance at all levels happen for the most renowned writers and this
comes over a much longer period of time rather than instant hit.
Once
you start reading you slowly raise yourself to a totally different level of
awareness. It is no surprise that you find yourself as one of the characters of
the time and space of the net created by him.
In An Antique Land takes you to
the contemporary period of the end part of the 20th century. You travel
to that time and then to the 12th century to and fro. The socio-economic scenario of contemporary Egypt at both periods are remarkable.
This
should be your next buy if you believe in the powers of reading. I can assure
you will crave for the other books by the author as I do.
When you get associated
with the best you become the best.
Love
you and wish you be the best every day. Please write the review on the book and
Amitav Ghosh for others to follow.
