A text that makes use--and deliberate misuse--of both British and Indian literary conventions, Six Acres and a Third provides a unique "view from below" of Indian village life under colonial rule. Set in Orissa in the 1830s, the novel focuses on a small plot of land, tracing the lives and fortunes of people who are affected by the way this property is sold and resold, as new legal arrangements emerge and new types of people come to populate and transform the social landscape. This graceful translation faithfully conveys the rare and compelling account of how the more unsavory aspects of colonialism affected life in rural India. 546 In English, translated from Oriya. 588 0 Print version record. 648 7 1800 - 1899|2fast 650 7 FICTION|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 Manners and customs.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01007815 651 0 Odisha (India)|xSocial life and customs|y19th century |vFiction. 651 7 India|zOdisha.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01920829 655 7 Fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423787 700 1 Mishra, Rabi Shankar. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aSenapati, Fakir Mohan, 1843-1918.|sCha mana atha guntha.
