Doba Šive

Manil Suri

Nakon svojega spektakularnog prvijenca, "Smrt Vishnua", Manil Suri vraća se s očaravajućom pričom o suvremenoj Indiji, bogato oplemenjenoj temama iz hinduske mitologije.

"Doba Šive " istodobno je snažna priča o zemlji u previranjima i izvrstan portret materinske ljubavi. U njemu Suri otkriva istine o ljudskoj prirodi: naše strasti proizašle iz životnih okolnosti, opsesije koje nas zarobljavaju i mnoge načine na koje se bunimo i samoizražavamo.

U romanu priča o rođenju Indije kao nove nacije teče usporedo sa složenim psihološkim putovanjem žene u kojoj se sukobljavaju tradicija i suvremenost. Izmjenjujući sentimentalnost i jasno sagledavanje okolnosti, Suri otkriva svoju veliku humanost i osjećaj nježnosti prema ženama koje krče svoj put u svijetu muškaraca.

Poput "Ane Karenjine", ovo je intimni i epski roman, ravnoteža senzualne ljepote i instiktivne, organske stvarnosti. No, iznad svega, ovo je veličanstvena priča o ljubavi i njenim neočekivanim posljedicama.
