Karan Ghelo
by Nandshankar Mehta
Description:
Historical novel about the last Rajput king of Gujarat in around 1296. The first novel in Gujarati, written in the style of English novels of the time, it includes long dialogues with the reader and although some archaic words have been updated, the prose is idiomatic and difficult at times, however, it is still an item of interest
About The Author
The first Indian headmaster of an English-medium school in Surat, and later Diwan of Bhuj, Nandshankar Mehta (1835-1905) was a strong advocate of social reform. Karan Ghelo, the first modern Gujarati novel and his only work of fiction, draws heavily on bardic chronicles and historic texts.
