Om denne e-boken

Across the Black Waters is widely rated as an outstanding novel. It is a simple story about the ultimate futility and sorrow of war. It is a journey not just from a small village in Punjab to Flanders, from father to soldier, field to front — but from a soul that nurtures to one that kills.

Overlooking the claims of war classics like All Quiet on the Western Front, the British Council selected and adapted this novel into a play to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War I.

"The foremost of Indian novelists." — Daily Telegraph

"His descriptions of brutality match in compassion and outrage, and perhaps also in poetic flair, those of Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sasson, or David Jones." — Alastair Niven, British Literary Critic

Om forfatteren

MULK RAJ ANAND (1905-2004) was one of the most prominent novelists and short story writers, and with Raja Rao and R. K. Narayan, is regarded as a founding father of English fiction in India. He captured the puissance of the Punjabi and Hindi idiom to faithfully bring alive the sights, smells and sounds of the Indian landscape and its people.
