Tatvamasi

"THIS BOOK IS ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF TATVAMASI, THE SAHITYA ACADEMY AWARD-WINNING GUJARATI NOVEL BY DHRUV BHATT. IT IS SURE THAT ALL THOSE WHO COULD NOT READ IT IN GUJARATI WILL ENJOY READING IT. IT WILL BE DEFINITELY APPRECIATED BY ALL THOSE WHO LOVE INDIA AND ITS GREAT ANCIENT CULTURE. SHRI DHRUV BHATT HAS WRITTEN SEVEN NOVELS SO FAR. THE THEMES OF EACH OF HIS NOVELS ARE VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE USUAL NOVELS. IN ALL THIS NOVELS THERE ARE UNDERCURRENTS SUGGESTING UNEXPRESSED TENDER FEELING BETWEEN THE HERO AND THE HEROINE, BUT THERE ARE NO LOVE-STORIES AS SUCH. AND YET, ALL HIS NOVELS HOLD THE READER'S INTEREST THROUGHOUT, WITH GRIPPING STORIES WHICH ARE BEAUTIFULLY WORDED AND THOUGHT PROVOKING. SHRI DRUV BHATT ALWAYS EMPHASISES THE BASIC DECENCY AND VALUE OF LIFE, WHICH ARE FOUND IN INDIANS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AT THE GRASS LEVEL. HE ATTRIBUTES THESE COMMENDABLE PROPERTIES NOT TO ANY RELIGION BUT TO THE DEEP-ROOTED SPIRITUALITY AMONG THE PEOPLE. "
