Nirmala
Nirmala | Premchand
4 posts | 8 read | 4 to read
Premchand's novella Nirmala, first published in 1928, is one of the most poignant novels in Hindi on the theme of the young adolescent yoked to an elderly husband. Clearly reformist in its agenda, this novel succeeds in exploring sensitive and even dangerous terrain. Alok Rai's English translation includes an Afterword which takes note of the novel's special context, placing it in perspective and making a contemporary reading of the work possible.

#Qotd : मन। तेरी गति कितनी विचित्र है, कितनी रहस्य से भरी हुई, कितनी दुभेद्य। तू कितनी जल्द रंग बदलता है? इस कला में तू निपुण है। आतिशबाजी की चर्खी को भी रंग बदलते कुछ देरी लगती है, पर तुझे रंग बदलने में उसका लक्षांश समय भी नहीं लगता।

For those of you who don't know, this book is originally written in Hindi. You can look for a translation, if you want to read it. The book explains the terrible condition of women in that era. What social and moral pressures were faced by women then. I really loved the book, it genuinely keeps you hooked and has a simple yet interesting storyline. A must read.
4.3/5🌟
