Litanies Of Dutch Battery [Paperback] Madhavan,N.S. and Rajmohan, Rajesh

A wonderful read.....I have not read the original.But the translation seems good

How I wish more of the authors works could be translated to English.. Excellent book

Sometimes I feel that this is something Marquez would have written if he would have been an Indian. This is history, this is fiction and this is beauty. Except the ending, which I yet to grasp fully, this book has a flow full of sheer joy. I wonder how rich would have been the original Malayalam work such that it's translation has so much in it. Humour is well balanced with deceivingly simple sentences which end various incidents. I am surely going to read more from the author.
