Sudhin N. Ghose
'Sudhindra Nath Ghose' (1899-1965)-best known as Sudhin Ghose-was born in Bardhaman in Bengal. He moved to Europe as a student in the 1920s where he first studied science and art history before completing a doctorate in literature. Though he spent his entire writing career in the West, Sudhin N. Ghose, like his contemporaries Mulk Raj Anand, R.K. Narayan and Raja Rao, based his work on India, drawing material from the villages and towns of Bengal. An impeccable prose stylist and a master of sprawling narratives which draw inspiration from myths, fables, legends and epics, Sudhin N. Ghose is among the greatest writers in Indian English literature. Sudhin N. Ghose wrote journalistic pieces, a scholarly tract, and three volumes of Indian folktales apart from the work for which he is best remembered: a quartet of novels comprising 'And Gazelles Leaping' (1949), 'Cradle of the Clouds' (1951), 'The Vermilion Boat' (1953) and 'The Flame of the Forest' (1955).
