Walking among the enemy is tense and terrifying, and even though she’s disguised in chic Chanel, Maggie can’t help longing for home.īut her missions come first. Now she’s working undercover for the Special Operations Executive in the elegant but eerily silent city of Paris, where SS officers prowl the streets in their Mercedes and the Ritz is draped with swastika banners.

This seems to force her into a rather desperate assertion that any value, even a false one, is better than no value at all. In One of Ours Cather makes a technical decision that puts a weak character at the center of her novel, thus precluding a strong affirmation of values in her usual mode. ![]() Several reasons have been offered for its “failure,” among them the complaint that it has no definable point of view,1or that Cather was so close to Claude Wheeler that she could not achieve appropriate authorial distance.2 I believe that these are justifiable criticisms, but for me they do not strike at the heart of what is wrong with the book.

Bhyrappa![]() ![]() The novel is a result of a deep and extensive study of history and research conducted at actual locales, like Nalanda. ![]() Unusual experiences and peoples are depicted in a historically changing time in the history of India. During his extensive travels, Nagabhatta becomes a witness to and comes under the influence of dozens of religious, social, and cultural modes. Nagabhatta, the scholar, is deputed by Amaruka, the king, to study the secrets of caravans of other lands in order to improve the economy of his kingdom. It is a physical journey across India, as well as a spiritual inward journey of an eighth-century scholar born to a tradition of Vedic studies. Sartha is a remarkable novel, which works simultaneously on two planes. In ancient India, such caravans would travel to distant lands to trade with them. Sartha literally means a trading caravan. ![]() |
