Арундати Рой — библиография

The chant of 'Azadi!' - Urdu for 'Freedom!' - is the slogan of the freedom struggle in Kashmir against what Kashmiris see as the Indian Occupation. Ironically, it also became the chant of millions on the streets of India against the project of Hindu Nationalism. Even as Arundhati Roy began to ask what lay between these two calls for Freedom - a chasm or a bridge? - the streets fell silent. Not only in India, but all over the world. The Coronavirus brought with it another, more terrible understanding of Azadi, making a nonsense of international borders, incarcerating whole populations, and bringing the modern world to a halt like nothing…

An impassioned manifesto from the author of Booker-winner God of Small Things, one of the most vocal campaigners in the world. India is a nation of 1.2 billion, but the country’s 100 richest people own assets equivalent to one-fourth of India’s gross domestic product. The rest of the population are ghosts within a system beyond their control. This includes the millions that live on less than $2 a day; or the hundreds of thousands of farmers who commit suicide, unable to escape ruinous debts; where dalits are driven from their villages because the owners want to turn the land to agribusiness. These are examples of a ‘gush up’ economy that…

Leading international voices condemn the brutalities of the Kashmir occupation. At home, the Kashmiri people’s ongoing quest for justice and self-determination is as much ignored by their venal politicians as it is rejected by Pakistan. Internationally, their struggle is forgotten, as the West refuses to bring pressure to bear on its regional ally India. Kashmir: The Case for Freedom is an impassioned attempt to redress this imbalance and to fill the gap in our moral imagination. Covering Kashmir’s past and present and the occupation’s causes and consequences, the authors issue a clarion call for the withdrawal of Indian troops and for…

'What happens once democracy has been used up? When it has been hollowed out and emptied of meaning?' Combining brilliant insight and razor-sharp prose, Listening to Grasshoppers is Arundhati Roy's essential exploration of the political picture in India today. In these essays she takes a hard look at the underbelly of the world's largest democracy and shows how the journey that Hindu nationalism and neo-liberal economic reforms began together in the early 19

"Ülima õnnelikkuse kogudus" on kõrgelt premeeritud "Väikeste Asjade Jumala" autori teine romaan, kahe teose vahele jääb peaaegu täpselt 20 aastat ja selle raamatu ilmumist peetakse üheks käesoleva aasta olulisematest kirjandussündmustest maailmas. See on kriipiv armastuslugu, lugu võitlusest ja elujäämisest, jutustatud kord sosinal, kord karjudes, tihti läbi ausate pisarate ja vahel kibedalt naerdes. Pea kõik selle romaani arvukad kangelased on inimesed, kelle nende koduks olev maailm on murdnud, aga kellel on õnnestunud pääseda, armastuse ja lootuse läbi terveks saada. Lugu liigub peamiselt Delhi tänavatel ja Kašmiri vabadusvõitlejate…

A dazzling, richly moving new novel by the internationally celebrated author of The God of Small Things The Ministry of Utmost Happiness takes us on an intimate journey of many years across the Indian subcontinent—from the cramped neighborhoods of Old Delhi and the roads of the new city to the mountains and valleys of Kashmir and beyond, where war is peace and peace is war. It is an aching love story and a decisive remonstration, a story told in a whisper, in a shout, through unsentimental tears and sometimes with a bitter laugh. Each of its characters is indelibly, tenderly rendered. Its heroes are people who have been broken by the…

Дебютный роман Арундати Рой, который заслуженно сравнивают с произведениями Фолкнера и Диккенса, — это современная классика, которую читают и любят по всему миру.
