Budha Aadmi Aur Samudra (Hindi Translation of The Old Man And The Sea)

'बूढ़ा आदमी और समुद्र' उपन्यास एक बूढ़े गरीब मछुआरे के जीवन-संघर्ष की कहानी है। मछली पकडऩे जाना, मछली पकडऩे की कोशिश करना, उस कोशिश में कामयाब होना, फिर इस सफलता को अंजाम तक लाने की जद्दोजहद का नाम है 'बूढ़ा आदमी और समुद्र'।

एक मछुआरे के जीवन-संघर्ष की यह दास्तान काल, समय और सीमा के बंधन से परे है। यह मछुआरा दुनिया के हर कोने में मौजूद है— अपने परिवेश से जूझता हुआ बिना किसी आक्रोश के, बिना किसी तिरस्कार भाव के। शायद यह मछुआरा एक विकसित आत्मा भी है। उसके सारे मनोभाव तात्कालिक हैं। वह समुद्र से, चिडिय़ों से और मछलियों से संवाद करता है। विषम परिस्थितियाँ उसे विचलित नहीं करतीं। उसकी जिजीविषा मरजीवड़े से कम नहीं।

प्रकृति और मनुष्य के अंतर्संबंधों को बयान करता हुआ अर्नेस्ट हेमिंग्वे का यह उपन्यास निश्चित ही एक कालजयी रचना है तो फिर हम हिंदी के पाठक इससे क्यों वंचित रहते। अस्तु! Buy Now : https://www.amazon.in/Budha-Aadmi-Samudra-Hindi-Translation/dp/9355214626

What the hell, I’ve been enjoying #bookstagram so I’m gonna try some book reviews myself! Exit West by Mohsin Hamid, 2017 This book drew me in with its rapturously beautiful cover, since I’m practically a bowerbird with my love of blue things. But what lies inside is far more subtle, handling the protagonists’ harrowing refugee journey with a balance of restraint and heartfelt humanity. The couple at the center of this novel, Saeed and Nadia, meet as young professionals in an unnamed country "in a city swollen by refugees but still mostly at peace, or at least not yet by war". Although I assumed it to be Syria, I love that Hamid left this aspect of the story ambiguous, as many of the young couple’s struggles are universal for the refugees from other countries they soon come into contact with. In this world, refugees sometimes find their way away from their war torn homelands by way of literal doors, but that’s the only “magic” to be found in their world of hardship. We watch Nadia and Saeed’s bond tested by the strain of their journey, and we can’t help but root for them. I appreciated Hamid’s beautiful writing style and economy of language. He can paint an evocative image so simply, tenderly, and matter-of-factly. Though I felt like the concept of the doors was creative, it cut out considerable aspects of the perilous journeys refugees are forced to undertake. I also found some of Hamid’s side vignettes annoying as they didn’t come together or relate to the primary storyline, but I would absolutely recommend this book. You’re going to warm to Nadia just because she wears a long black robe “so men don’t fuck with me”. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/4.5 stars out of 5 #books #bookrecs #reading #exitwest #mohsinhamid #refugees #internationalliterature #literature #readingchallenge #instabooks #readthisbook #goodreads #instabook #bookaddicts #bookreviews #fiction #bookreview https://www.instagram.com/p/CYrUCbbuKAf/?utm_medium=tumblr
