Mulk Raj Anand, Raj Ulk — Untouchable

Paperback; 1e druk, 1989; Penguin Books Ltd; 160pp.; Naam met pen op de titelpagna, overigens prima -- Conditie: Redelijk; Bakha is a young man, proud and even attractive, yet none the less he is an outcast in India's caste system: an Untouchable. In deceptively simple prose this groundbreaking novel describes a day in the life of Bakha, sweeper and toilet-cleaner, as he searches for a meaning to the tragic existence he has been born into - and comes to an unexpected conclusion. Mulk Raj Anand poured a vitality, fire and richness of detail into his controversial work, which led him to be acclaimed as his country's Charles Dickens and one of the twentieth century's most important Indian writers.; Engels; ISBN10: 0140183957, ISBN13: 9780140183955
