Epic Nation

Reimagining the Mahabharata in the Age of the Empire

By: Pamela Lothspeich

Epic Nation explores in detail the appropriations and reimaginings of the Mahabharata as a text in the Pauranik genre which served several purposes in the late colonial period-they provided alternatives to colonial constructions of Indian history, they served as forms of protest and resistanceto colonial rule, and they provided an ideological support for the nationalist movement. Pamela Lothspeich discusses the ambiguous relationship between myth and history, the debates and controversies regarding the Hindi movement, as well as the complex issue of communalism in the construction of anidealized Hindu past. A wide range of writings have been covered-from the elite, 'canonical' writers such as Mahavirprasad Dvivedi, Maithilisharan Gupt, and Ramcharit Upadhyay, to the relatively underestimated playwright Badrinarayan Bhatt and the Parsi commercial theatre of Kathavacak. The Epiloguetraces the trends in Pauranik literature, in the post-1940 era, in relatively newer forms such as the short story and the novel, and also film and TV. With a glossary of literary terms, an appendix citing Hindi literature based on the Mahabharata (1866-2008), and detailed bibliography, Epic Nationwould be of interest to students and researchers of literature, history, and cultural studies, as well as general readers.

Love, Pamela

By: Pamela Anderson

Loin de son image de pin-up, Pamela raconte son histoire, celle d’un esprit libre qui rentre à la maison et se redécouvre à chaque tournant. Avec une prose vivante entrecoupée de poèmes, Pamela se confie sur les moments les plus extraordinaires et aussi les plus éprouvants de son incroyable histoire. Pamela Anderson, la naïade de la série TV Alerte à Malibu, était omniprésente dans les années 1990. Originaire de Vancouver, au Canada, Pamela a vécu une enfance difficile, durant laquelle elle a développé son amour profond pour la nature, peuplant son monde des animaux blessés du coin. En surmontant sa timidité naturelle et grâce à une imagination débordante, Pamela s’est finalement propulsée dans une vie de rêve, des plages de Malibu à la scène du Playboy Mansion. Au fur et à mesure que sa célébrité grandissait, elle s’est retrouvée dans les pages des tabloïds, à l’apogée d’une époque où les tactiques des paparazzi s’apparentaient à une véritable traque. « J’ai tendance à voir des diamants dans les morceaux de charbon de l’or dans le nickel. Je suis une alchimiste à attirer ces personnages fantastiques qui me détruisent systématiquement. »
