A text that makes use-and deliberate misuse-of both British and Indian literary conventions, Six Acres and a Third provides a unique "view from below" of Indian village life under colonial rule. Set in Orissa in the 1830's, the novel focuses on a small plot of land, tracing the lives and fortunes of people who are affected by the way this property is sold and resold, as new legal arrangements emerge and new types of people come to populate and transform the social landscape. This graceful translation faithfully conveys the rare and compelling account of how the more unsavory aspects of colonialism affected life in rural India.Indo-Iranian literatureSouth AsiaHistoryFiction19th century.academic.classic novel.classical literature.colonial india.colonial.colonialism.contemporary literature.crime.economics.global literature.greed.indian literature.international.law and order.legal issues.literary history.literature.modern literature.property.punishment.scholarly.social class.social status.theft.translation.wealth.world literature.Indo-Iranian literature.813.6891.45634Senapati Fakir Mohan1843-1918.1699150Mishra Rabi Shankar1699151MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814102203321Six acres and a third4081173UNINA
