| Summary, etc. |
An elegy to kolleru, one of India’s largest freshwater lakes located in Andhra Pradesh, akkineni kutumbarao’s novel kolleti jadalu vividly brings alive the villages and people whose lives are woven inseparably with the lake. Swamped by water, this is the precarious life-world of a people in a constant struggle to survive in an environment that is nurturing and bountiful, yet unpredictable and hostile. The story of the lake and the people whose lives and hopes, joys and sorrows depend on it is told through the eyes of five-year-old seen. With dry humour, gentle irony and profound human empathy, kutumbarao details a little-known and rich world, brutally destroyed as the market ultimately triumphs over nature. Softly dies a lake is at once memory, history, tribute, lament, apology and penance; to a childhood, to a lake, to a people, to a vital but lost way of life. The translation by veteran feminist rights activist and writer, Vasanth kannabiran, seamlessly brings to us the world of kolleru in all its transient beauty. This memoir reminds us of ecology mantra—everything is connected—and is a must-read for all lovers of literature and everyone who feels responsible for their only home: the Earth. |
