Penguin Books India, 2008. Softcover. New. A brilliant biography of nineteenth century India’s greatest poet Mirza Mohammad Asadullah Khan Ghalib began writing poetry in Persian at the age of nine and the pre-eminent poet of the time, Mir, predicted a great future for the precocious genius when he was shown his verse. But success and material rewards did not come to Ghalib easily for the times were against him, and he did not suffer fools gladly even if they occupied positions of importance. Ghalib was at the height of his powers when events took a turn for the worse. First came the decline of the Mughal court, then the rise of the British Empire and, finally, the Revolt of 1857. Though Ghalib lived through the upheavals and purges of the Revolt, in which many of his contemporaries and friends died and his beloved Delhi was irrevocably changed, he was a broken man and longed for death. When he died, on 15 February 1869, he left behind some of the most vivid accounts of the events of the period ever written. In this illuminating biography Pavan K. Varma evocatively captures the spirit of the man and the essence of the times he lived in. Printed Pages: 344., Penguin Books India, 2008, Penguin Books India/Penguin Classics, 2008. Softcover. New. Adopting the voice of a mother, poets lovingly praise gods and men. For hundreds of years Tamil poets have been composing devotional texts in which they adopt the voice of a mother and address praises to an extraordinary child. The poems, called pillaitamil (literally ‘Tamil for a child’), form a major genre of Tamil literature. Since the twelfth century, when the first known pillaitamil was written in honour of a Chola king, many of these poems have been composed in praise of the quintessentially Tamil god Murugan and South Indian goddesses, as well as saints and venerated monastic abbots. In recent times pillaitamils have been dedicated to Prophet Muhammad, Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus, as well as notable political figures and movie stars. Extraordinary Child provides a sampler of translations from, and analyses of, seven pillaitamils of particular religious, aesthetic or political significance. Paula Richman’s insightful and comprehensive introduction initiates the reader into the pillaitamil tradition by explaining what a pillaitamil does and how contemporary audiences can learn to savour the subtleties of the verses.
