In 'Statue', we meet Dulali, a widow since childhood, who is now an old woman preoccupied only with day-to-day survival. When the government decides to erect in her village a statue of Dindayal--a man who had fought in India's struggle for independence from British rule and who also was in love with Dulali long ago--a tragic, forbidden love comes back to haunt her. And in 'The Fairy Tale of Mohanpur', a combination of poverty, societal indifference, and government apathy leads Andi to lose her eyesight, even as she persists in her faith in a fairy-tale solution. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mahasweta Devi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8170461448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788170461449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seagull Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.53h x 6.46w x 0.24d","brand":"Mahasweta Devi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941267702015,"sku":"9788170461449","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4e0bf28e-645b-4b35-9d03-51bc5563c70a.jpg?v=1681451914","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/old-women-mahasweta-devi-9788170461449","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
