Description

Ghalib : Kaal aani Kartriva, a masterly Marathi translation by Nishikant Thakar of Pawan Kumar Verma’s captivating book Ghalib! The Man, The Times, the exceptional biography of Ghalib, the bard, certainly offers to stay with him, his unprecedented poetry, and in his times. The writer literally sculpts the biography and the historical time on the basis of the bard’s poetry and letters, and other historical evidences.   Historically, Ghalib, one of the greatest Indian poets, witnessed the merging of the end of one era and the emergence of the other, and hence it is indeed overwhelmingly significant to read the book in order to understand how the bard’s worldview took shape and toned his poetry in turn, and his uncanny love for his city, Delhi, and how the writer sees all this through his eye, lovingly and scholarly at once!
