Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Written in 2000, shortly before the author’s 75th birthday, this book is an account of Mahasweta’s childhood experiences at the celebrated Visva-Bharati school, founded by Rabindranath Tagore in Santiniketan... the book is a record of a magical, Hogwarts-type experience... it is also an explanation of the idyllic experiences and philosophy on which Tagore’s education system was based." * ArtReview *
“Fragmentary, elliptical and luminous, Devi’s memoir – expertly translated by Radha Chakravarty – offers valuable insights into an educational experiment that bore rich fruit.” * Times Literary Supplement *
