About the Book: Mandra
Mandra, the Saraswati Samman winner for 2010, is one of the most acclaimed epic
novels of Bhyrappa. Though it takes its theme from the classical question of art
versus morality, many more subtler and complex issues haunting human life are
marvelously interwoven. Rooted deeply in the harsh realities of the world, the
governing theme evolves like a banyan tree in all directions and pictures many
home-truths that are inseparable with art, artist, art-tradition, art-criticism
and the world of connoisseurs.
