Opis

Arun Joshi is the most significant novelist in Indian English fiction. He attended the schools in India and The United States of America. He was unselfishly concerned with individual's inner crisis and focused on the problems of self such as alienation, detachment and existential dilemma. Eventhough he has his achievements in scientific and industrial fields, he is much interested in knowing and writing about the inner crisis of the individuals. In 1957, for a short period he had an assignment in a Mental Hospital in the Unite States, where his uncle was a Psychiatrist. He got an opportunity to study the human behavior. Then his sensitive mind was impressed so much that he wanted his chief protagonists describe an inner life within the inner world of the soul divided against itself, its aspirations and conflicting urges turned on the will and action. This is the reason why there is something deeper than empathy for such characters in his heart.
