Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the natural splendor of Nepal has been celebrated in many books, very little of the substantial body of Nepali literature has appeared in English translation. Himalayan Voices provides admirers of Nepal and lovers of literature with their first glimpse of the vibrant literary scene in Nepal today. An introduction to the two most developed genres of modern Nepali literature—poetry and the short story—this work profiles eleven of Nepal's most distinguished poets and offers translations of more than eighty poems written from 1916 to 1986. Twenty of the most interesting and best-known examples of the Nepali short story are translated into English for the first time by Michael Hutt. All provide vivid descriptions of life in twentieth-century Nepal. Although the days when Nepali poets were regularly jailed for their writings have passed, until 1990 the strictures of various laws governing public security and partisan political activity still required writers and publishers to exercise a certain caution. In spite of these conditions, poetry in Nepal remained the most vital and innovative genre, in which sentiments and opinions on contemporary social and political issues were frequently expressed. While the Nepali short story adapted its present form only during the early 1930s, it has rapidly developed a surprisingly high degree of sophistication. These stories offer insights into the workings of Nepali society: into caste, agrarian relations, social change, the status of women, and so on. Such insights are more immediate than those offered by scholarly works and are conveyed by implication and assumption rather than analysis and exposition. This book should appeal not only to admirers of Nepal, but to all readers with an interest in non-Western literatures. Himalayan Voices establishes for the first time the existence of a sophisticated literary tradition in Nepal and the eastern Himalaya.

Download or read book Khas Pidgin written by Salik Shah and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2017-06-07 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry is the language of the soul. In translation, what does it become? Khas Pidgin is a poetic memoir of an alien non-native speaker in both Nepali and English. "Most of the Khas-Nepali poems collected here were written in Kathmandu before 2005. These early poems possess a kind of raw intensity and emotional authenticity that do not come easily to a poet focused solely on style, excellence in craft. The attempt to translate these proved to be a challenging experience--they fail, obviously, if translated word by word. The earliest works of a poet may not be excellent, but they serve a critical, social or historical function; they help us re/discover the lost, suppressed or forgotten ways and territories of their being in their contemporary society, and the world." (- from the introduction to "Khas Pidgin")

Download or read book Nev r g t ma jar written by Siegfried Lienhard and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publ.. This book was released on 1992 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A productive and highly important branch of Nevari literature is poetry. The songs reflect the thought of the Nevars, their way of life, religious belief, their history and folklore. The greatest possible variety of genres and styles have been included in the present anthology. Most of the songs included, religious hymns as well as folksongs and ballads, are still very popular among Nevars. In order to facilitate reading and consultation, the whole corpus of the songs collected has been grouped into four principle sections, namely Religious Poetry, Songs about Love and Marriage, Epic Poetry, Didactic and Enigmatic Verses. The book contains two appendices. While the first lists the talas and ragas, as they are given in the various anthologies published in Nepal, the Second makes an attempt to transpose two songs into the European system of music. The translations are quite faithful and every effort has been made to preserve the spirit and flavour of the original. Contents Preface, Introduction, Translation, I. Religious Poetry: 1.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An anthology of poems written originally in English by thirty-seven Nepali poets from the 1950s to the present. Kavya, a representative anthology of Nepal poetry in English, includes works by poets who write from a hybrid, in-between world traced by the traditions of Nepali and English literature as well as the worldviews of western modernity and eastern spiritualism. The poems included in this anthology reveal the evolution of Nepali poetry in English from the 1950s to the present and encompass varied thematic interests, literary styles, and cultural locations. A must read for all those who are interested in the history and practice of Nepali English writing. -Sanjeev Uprety, critic and author of Ghanachakkar Kavya is a remarkable, important collection. The excellent introduction provides context for the emergence of work by Nepali poets choosing to create in English. Rarely does a poetry anthology give us the opportunity to experience such an efflorescence almost in real time, as it is happening. The voices are diverse-many echo with centuries-old contemplative traditions and ceremonies. Others vibrate with anger at injustices and war. Still others spill over with the grief of loss, dislocation and diaspora: "I write of Mother in my not-mother / tongue..." But above all, the anthology is held together by the scents, sounds, images of Nepal-not as exotic abstractions but as a lived, loved home. -Alice Major, author of Welcome to the Anthropocene Kāvya, as we know it, endowed with rasa, alankāra, guna, rīti, lakṣana, belongs to all South Asia. This anthology of Nepali English Kāvyahas confirmed again the great heights reached by the Nepali poets, justifying their place in world literature. The editors of Kāvya have ensured that Mahakavi Devkota will continue to live in the hearts of poetry lovers around the world through the creative ingenuity of poets who inherited his legacy. -Daya Dissanayake, author of Inequality This is a seminal anthology, where a landlocked country comes to life through poetry, under the shade of the mighty Himalayas and the burbling of many rivers. Place resounds in every poem and poet in Kavya, painting a complex landscape of Nepal, where the English language didn't necessarily arrive via colonialism but from the need to communicate with the outer world. Through terraced farms, the overburdened Sherpa carrying goods to Everest base camp, fermented betel nut and kukri knives, we experience the joys and pain of a nation under oligarchy and revolution, where horrific violence exists within stunning vistas of nature. Kavya is a poetic testament of a land and people which are resilient yet thoughtful, where the poems are one of witness and elegy, leaving the reader riveted. -Shikha Malaviya, poet, writer & publisher, Geography of Tongues & In Her Own Voice: Poems of Anandibai Joshee (forthcoming) Rich with imagery and ripe with deep feelings, the poems in Kavya: Representative Nepali Poetry in English are beautifully curated by the five editors. These compassionate, truth-seeking poems rooted in a love of place move beyond borders and boundaries into the timelessness poetry gifts us with. May this necessary and intimate collection reach as many readers as possible. -Catherine Graham, author of Put Flowers Around Us and Pretend We're Dead: New and Selected Poems
