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. 606 $aIndo-Iranian literature 607 $aSouth Asia$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIndo-Iranian literature. 676 $a813.6 676 $a891.45634 700 $aSenapati$b Fakir Mohan$f1843-1918.$01039149 701 $aMishra$b Rabi Shankar$01039150 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451615103321 996 $aSix acres and a third$92461182 997 $aUNINA
