The Bachelor of Arts

I liked rk Narayan Book.. But I read novel little bit..

The storyline of the book is very simple: A man named Chandran, finishes his graduation and in between he falls in love with a girl but unfortunately it doesn't come till marriage. The rest of the story is how he moves on and let's go of his past.All this might sound very plain and dull but the way it was written was what makes this book enjoyable till the end. There's dry sense of humour, old Hindu traditions are questioned, the feeling of first love is shown beautifully, themes of family, friendship, last days of college is covered too. The setting of 1930's India is well portrayed in this book.Overall, for me, it was a good change from the modern romance to a softer side.

I wanted to gift this book to my friend as her birthday gift, but since I couldn't get time I had to place the order just 2 days before the date. I thought I would only be able to give her the book after her birthday but VIOLA!!! the book reached just in time :) great service by Amazon and as I am a great fan of R.K Narayan I know that this book would be good too!

It's a story of a boy who is in his last year of history bachelor's course and his life after he compeletes his education . It's a very short book which you can usually complete in one or two sittings !

It makes a good read, full of wry humour and nostalgia.

The pages are quite thin and text is transparent. The rest is good. The package was delivered in expected time.I request to improve the printing quality atleast.

Amazing! Very real, it's like traveling back to the days of 1930s. While reading one will discover the more common India, away from all nationalism and sufferings. So one will feel like living at that time who has his own problems of day to day life. It presents things as it was then! So read it and enjoy.

When it comes to telling simple Indian stories with interesting twist and turns Narayan is best at it. Story of a BA student, Chandran of Albert college quite brilliantly told.My mind kept imagining Anant Nag all the time whenever Chandran, the chief character came into the play..

Entrega en tiempo, y el producto secorresponde a lo anunciado. Todo correcto.

It is a lovely books that takes us back to a simpler times...

I was very happy with the novel until the ending. I won't spoil anything but it is very inconclusive and personally I despise that in a book.
