The Lamp is Lit

 
Ruskin Bond (Author)
Synopsis Autobiographical sketches and stories from India's best-loved writer in English. Nostalgic and heart-warming, full of wisdom and charm, this work provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of ' our very own resident Wordsworth in prose'.  For over four decades now, by way of innumerable short stories, essays, poems and novels, Ruskin Bond has championed simplicity and quietude in life and in art. This collection of essays and episodes from his journals is, in his own words, ' celebration of my survival as a freelance'.  The author's early forays into the literary magazines of the 1950s and '60s are described in the first part of the book along with some examples of his work at the time. The sections that follow contain extracts from an unpublished travel journal he kept during the '60s, episodes from the highways on which he was a frequent traveler, and vignettes of life in Mussoorie, past and present. With understated humor and compassion, Ruskin records the charming eccentricities of friends and acquaintances; silent miracles of nature; life's little joys and its fleeting regrets.
