Product Details
Manvini Bhavai (માનવીની ભવાઈ) by Pannalal Patel is one of the most acclaimed classics of Gujarati literature, published in its current Gujarati edition by Sanjeevani Publication, Ahmedabad.
Originally published in 1947, the novel is set against the devastating Chhappaniyo Dukal, the famine of 1899–1900 in Gujarat. At the centre of the story are Kalu and Raju, whose relationship unfolds amid poverty, famine, social circumstances and the struggle for survival. Gujarati Vishwakosh also records 1947 as the work’s original publication year.
Beyond being a love story, Manvini Bhavai portrays rural Gujarati life, farmers, hunger, human dignity, social relationships and the hardships created by famine. Pannalal Patel’s realistic depiction of village society and human emotions has made the novel an enduring work in Gujarati literature.
