| Description: |
Shyamji's father was the acclaimed 'heavenly singer' and guru, Ram Lal. But Shyam Lal is not his father. Mallika Sengupta's voice could have made her famous, but being the wife of a businessman is a full-time occupation in itself. Mallika's son, Nirmalya, for him, all compromise is failure: those with talent should be true to that talent. |
| Synopsis: |
Shyamji has music in his blood, for his father was the acclaimed 'heavenly singer' and guru, Ram Lal. But Shyam Lal is not his father, and knows he never will be. Mallika Sengupta's voice could have made her famous, but being the wife of a successful businessman is a full-time occupation in itself. Mallika's son, Nirmalya, believes in suffering for his art, and for him, all compromise is failure: those with talent should be true to that talent. No matter what.Written in haunting, melodic prose, "The Immortals" tells the story - or stories - of Shyam, Mallika and Nirmalya: their relationships, their lives, their music. More than that, though, it is also the story of music itself, of music as art, and an exploration of its place in the modern world of money and commerce. 'Among the literary voices from India to have made themselves heard in this country over the past ten years, Amit Chaudhuri's is one of the most immpressive: beautifully balanced, affecting, truthful' - "Sunday Telegraph". |
