Description
In Search of the Soul, the English translation of Santanu Kumar Acharya’s award-winning Nara-Kinnar, is a searing meditation on the human struggle for dignity and transcendence. Born in a hospital drain and raised in a slum, George’s journey unfolds as a modern odyssey through abandonment, suffering, and fleeting refuge. Disowned at fourteen, he finds solace under the care of a woman who teaches him the meaning of “mother.” As he moves through life’s harsh landscapes, George confronts the paradoxes of existence and the soullessness of modernity. In his final act, he chooses compassion over duty, guiding the broken with love. His death marks not an end, but a luminous rebirth. The translator captures the spirit and emotional depth of the original with remarkable sensitivity.
