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$vFiction 610 $a19th century. 610 $aacademic. 610 $aclassic novel. 610 $aclassical literature. 610 $acolonial india. 610 $acolonial. 610 $acolonialism. 610 $acontemporary literature. 610 $acrime. 610 $aeconomics. 610 $aglobal literature. 610 $agreed. 610 $aindian literature. 610 $ainternational. 610 $alaw and order. 610 $alegal issues. 610 $aliterary history. 610 $aliterature. 610 $amodern literature. 610 $aproperty. 610 $apunishment. 610 $ascholarly. 610 $asocial class. 610 $asocial status. 610 $atheft. 610 $atranslation. 610 $awealth. 610 $aworld literature. 615 0$aIndo-Iranian literature. 676 $a813.6 676 $a891.45634 700 $aSenapati$b Fakir Mohan$f1843-1918.$01583151 701 $aMishra$b Rabi Shankar$01583152 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777562103321 996 $aSix acres and a third$93866028 997 $aUNINA
