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 1930's, 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. 410 0$aVoices from Asia ;$vvolume 2. 606 $aAuthors, Nepali$y20th century$vBiography 606 $aShort stories, Nepali$vTranslations into English 606 $aNepali poetry$y20th century$vTranslations into English 607 $aNepal$vLiterary collections 610 $a1900s. 610 $a20th century. 610 $aauthors. 610 $acaste system. 610 $acivil disobedience. 610 $acollected work. 610 $acontemporary literature. 610 $aeastern world. 610 $aenglish translation. 610 $agender studies. 610 $agovernment. 610 $ahimalayan. 610 $ahimalayas. 610 $aliterary analysis. 610 $aliterary criticism. 610 $amodern literature. 610 $anepal. 610 $anepalese literature. 610 $anepali authors. 610 $anepali literature. 610 $anepali poets. 610 $anepali. 610 $anon western literature. 610 $apoetry collection. 610 $apoetry translation. 610 $apoetry. 610 $apolitical. 610 $apolitics. 610 $ashort story. 610 $asocial change. 610 $asocial justice. 610 $atranslation. 610 $awomens rights. 610 $aworld literature. 610 $awriters. 615 0$aAuthors, Nepali 615 0$aShort stories, Nepali 615 0$aNepali poetry 676 $a891/.49 700 $aHutt$b Michael James$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01233408 701 $aHutt$b Michael$g(Michael J.)$0106361 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495862503321 996 $aHimalayan voices$92864438 997 $aUNINA
