Description
Ruskin Bond Rain in the Mountains
About Book:
It is a collection of stories, snippets, essays, and poems penned by the writer after having lived in many hamlets across the mountains in the Himalayas. Through his subtle, simple, and lucid writing, the author beautifully brings alive many natural sights and sounds that evoke the essence of natural mountain life.Both prose and poetry in the book are centered around nature with all the purity that it holds. Rain in the Mountains: Notes from the Himalayas touch a raw nerve for an urban dweller when it describes the beauty of mountain wilderness, surrounded by chirping birds, squirrels, a blue sky with moving clouds casting light and shade shadows. The book can be a good companion for contemplation and quiet reading.It introduces the readers to an innocent form of writing, which uses simplicity in words to describe some of the routine but beautiful things around us. The book has stories like Once Upon a Mountain Time and records the moods and likings of the writer with reflective notes like Sounds I Like to Hear, Sounds of the Sea, How Far Is the River, and After the Monsoon.
