The Hungry Tide: A Novel
by Amitav Ghosh
how does the writer describe the sunderbans (3/25/2012)
The narrative is a fine piece of prose with the beauty and elegance of a poem which is evocative in character. He concludes the piece with the quotes from "The Tenth Elegy of Rainer Maria Rilike". It is a elegy on the death of something precious and at the same time optimistic as the rain that falls on the dark earth to regenerate it.through the technique of interweaving history, geography, mythology, folk tale and scientific facts, the author is drawing our attention to the precarious nature of the world's unique forest 'the Sunderbans'
