About the Book

Born in 1890 in Varanasi, Jaishankar Prasad started writing in prose and poetry when modern Hindi Literature was coming out of its cradle. He is reckoned to be one of the progenitors of the 'Chayavad', a new school of poetry then, which took the Hindi world by storm. His new imagery, symbols and expression created an indelible impact on the mind of the discerning readers. He wrote profusely many short stories, plays, essays and of course poems. His creation 'Kamayani' is believed to be a masterly book of poetry epitomizing the essence of Indian culture and human psychology. He died in 1937 in Varanasi at an early age. But within his short creative period he gave certain gems to the Indian Literature which will keep his name glittering in the firmament of Indian Creative Writing.

Foreword

Kamayani is one of the greatest epics which portrays the intricacies and complexities of modern life against the background of the advancement of technological society. Jaishankar Prasad has used one of the ancient Indian myths, which is reflected in the Christian as well as Islamic mythology, and an ancient school of Indian philosophy The Kashmir School - of Shaivism to express his understanding and perception of the modern society in terms of its problems and their possible solutions. In short, 'Kamayani' portrays an amazing breadth and depth of multidimensional meaning of modern life as seen in continuity with the finest elements of Indian, nay, human and cultural tradition. It is a real challenge to undertake the translation of such a work and Shri B.K. Chaturvedi has accepted the challenge with commendable expertise and success.
