 Abstract

John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men is a powerful book, for its simplicity, for its moving quality and for many other reasons. This article will be focused on the analysis of the loneliness, the kind of relationship between George and Lennie, the main protagonists, and the role their dream plays in their lives as a way to escape the society they live in. This need to escape is shared by other characters as well. It is indeed this strange situation that celebrates the loneliness as an inevitable part of human life.

 Abstract

Manohar Malgonkar’s A Bend in the Ganges (1964) is a carefully written novel about India’s partition, the relevance of Gandhian principles of truth and non-violence in the aftermath of Hindu-Muslim riots, the life of convicts in the Cellular jail in the Andaman islands and the movement of millions of refugees from India to Pakistan and vice-versa. Malgonkar, with a good command of English, has written the novel on a theme and in a style befitting a great work of art. One of the results of British impact on India was the rise of the Indian novel in English as early as in 1864. Indian writers of fiction adapted the Western form and medium to their own tradition of storytelling.

 Abstract

The present research work is a study of the selected fiction of the Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho. The principal objective of the study is to examine critically the selected novels of the writer in order to highlight his obsession with the various types of quests human beings undertake in life. The origin of the present research problem is rooted in the very life of human being. From the beginning of the human history, human life is viewed as an odyssey in search of one thing or the other. Though the modern man enjoys many privileges and facilities in comparison to the primitive one, his search in life has not come to an end. On the contrary the highly awakened mind of the modern man, in turn, has raised many expectations from life, thus setting him on a journey to fulfill those expectations. As a requisite of the study an attempt is made to define quest and state various objectives of a quest, such as treasure or wealth, knowledge, truth, peace, a promised land, a person, an object like Grail or wisdom. Faced with insurmountable obstacles, insoluble mystery, or an enemy with powers that surpass their own, even the mightiest heroes need help to reach their goals. The study also highlights how the quester is helped by various agencies including helpers and guides.
