Description:

Literature and Its Dimensions presents a profound insight into the nature of literature and its relationship with human life. The author, Ranjit Desai, argues that literature is not an independent entity but is deeply intertwined with human beliefs and values. These beliefs and values, coupled with the author's personal experiences and vision of life, fuel the creation of literary works.

Desai explains that an author does not merely present reality as it is. Literature is not created by every aspect of reality, but rather by those elements that deeply touch the author’s mind and awaken his inner vision. This is the insight that transforms reality into literature. The author likens this process to the creation of a rainbow: just as the sun's rays do not naturally create a rainbow, reality only produces literature when touched by the magic of idealism. It is this fusion of reality and idealism that gives literature its deeper dimension.

This book is a collection of select speeches delivered by Ranjit Desai at various literary gatherings. In these speeches, he reflects on classic literature and the inspirations that shape it, making it a thought-provoking read for literature lovers and scholars alike.
