About this ebook
Raja Ravi Varma (1848-1906), one of the greatest painters of India, lived at a time when India under the British rule was getting exposure to new trends and techniques in various fields of the West. Though he mainly depicted scenes from Indian mythology and epics, his graceful representation of female figures was something which brought him acclaim. His paintings brought him awards in exhibitions at Vienna and Chicago. He received royal patronage from various states in pre independence India. He also the recipient of the prestigious Kaiser-e-Hind Award of the British crown. His paintings were reproduced on a wide scale and this he reached a great number of middle class homes.
Raja Ravi Varma is a biographical novel based on the life of the great painter. At a personal level, it covers his early life, training, relationship with the royal family of Travancore, his unsuccessful marriage, his involvement with other women, his fondness for his own people, his contacts with well known personalities, and the law suit he faced over showing goddesses semi-clad. The novel portrays effectively his early struggle, later success, his mode of working which included long preparation, his philosophy behind his work. A salient feature of the work is the light it throws on the life in a matriarchal family.
Ranjit Desai (1928-1992) tackled the genre of novels with such ease that his collection includes all types of novels: historical, social, mythological, and biographical. He was also a playwright and has to his credit short stories.
