This site uses cookies: Find out more. I have - and I'm sure I share this misfortune with many - an uncontainable practical joker for a friend. A few years ago, he had a group of us working in pretty froth over the kind of book he caught his teenage daughter reading. She's reading about some manico-depressive killer! He said, to general expressions of shock. Fellow has hallucinations, thinks he's talking to his dead father, goes on a serial killer rampage ... I think there's even a part where he's trying to rape someone. And she's trying to tell me that the book is in her school program! The joke was an interesting cultural phenomenon for me. In many ways, minds, the label classic, seems to cause a set of unconscious assumptions about the book, the main among them the certainty that it is dull to tears tedious (or philosophically dense if someone wants to be kind). Some may even see virtue in such a tedium. High art is a serious business, after all, and should not be ruined by pleasure. If someone wants to be entertained, these assumptions imply, then one should read the products that are low-stable, popular fiction. And that's where this stereotype becomes incomprehensible, for many literary classics of the Western canon, in fact, popular fictions. Sure, they're from an earlier era, and most old things acquire a vintage patina in our eyes given adequate distance and nostalgia, but still. It's not just genre fiction, after all, but very dramatic stories about gods and monsters, hot romances and bloody family strife, interspersed liberally with ribaldry and tear-jerking tragedy. Very far, in short, from the slow grinding of Thectorian monology that we imagine the classics to be. Then why a dreary reputation? Well, first of all, we've accumulated and inherited these texts for generations. During this time, both our languages and the world have changed so much and so often that the whole scientific career was built on arguing about the pronunciation of one vowel. If Shakespeare knew how popular his Sonnet 18 would be among men looking at women, he might have been quite surprised (and not a little amused). Similarly, twenty years from now, when summer in his homeland will regularly exceed 40 degrees Celsius, should I compare you to a summer day? It can cause more acidity than love. The past is not just another country, as LP Hartley wrote; it's often a completely different world, and over time we often lose the primer with which to decipher these little built-in details. To take the example closer at hand, the word pholar (pronounced phaw-lar) is found frequently in Bengali literature of a certain period. This is the food offered to men and boys by the Brahmins, and supposedly comes from faul (fruit) and aahar (food). One might assume, therefore, pholar meant eating fruit. But the description of this meal belies her etymology. From numerous Bengali stories and novels, we discover that pholar is a meal that mostly consists of milk or cottage cheese, a sweetener (usually a jaggery or batasha), puffed rice (hoy or suri), and perhaps a banana. More complex versions may include mangoes, shondes, codema or moths, and murky. Most of these ingredients were considered incorruptible cross-touches of caste, and thus could be offered to Brahman without overthrowing the entire public order. This spectrum of meaning instinctively read into one Texts. But over time, these specific meanings of things are lost, and sometimes replaced by completely different. Therefore, to recall the appeal of the classics in due time, most modern readers (except horribly erudite) will have to endure a certain amount of cultural and linguistic translation, even reading in their native language. The dissonance between the classics and its reputation was so stark in its case that several of my acquaintances - belonging to a rather discerning book club, no less - asked me if the translation was worth my time, given the sadness of the plot. It's just going to oppress you, so what's the point? They asked, not unkind. Now, as someone who read and adored a novel in her troubled teens, I don't mind admitting that I was pretty shocked by this perception of Pater Panchali. After some gentle nudge, it turned out that the book's grim cinematic appeal, combined with the classic tag, gave it a funny air in their imagination, and none of them actually read it. It was very unfortunate, because in fact, Pater Panchali is very far from the melancholic elegy that this is apparently perceived as. It's a vivid ballad written in the catchy conversation of its time, which begins with joy and ends with determination. As in life, its tragedies are many, but they are handled with resilience and grace - and have never lived on solely elicitable empathy. Indeed, the book is filled with a sense of adventure and joyful sensuality; A touch of summer rain on warm skin, the sweetness of stolen fruit, the serene beauty of friendly forests, the smell of the river in the evening breeze. Far from the mourning stuff he may miss, Pater Panchali chronicles the fame of everyday life that his characters can access - from singing birds at dawn to a full plate of rice for lunch. On the one hand, Pater Panchali is rich in rural turns of speech, detailed illustrations of the natural environment and the transmission of references to the festivals and rituals that once inhabited the agricultural calendar of the southern Bengal River. The world that is now largely lost to us, both physically and culturally. Time has turned its wooden, moored landscape into a series of bustling villages, moving further and further away from the old agrarian economy as an industrial and service-oriented one invades the land. Koluichondi, a delightful forest picnic ritual for women and children, no longer prescribes for mothers in rural southern Bengal. Celebration of the Poush and Choitro shonkranti harvest barely retains its magnificent glory. It is impossible to dig punipukur on cemented land or in apartment buildings, and bright lights killed the thrill of raising corpses in Choroka. Literal translation the text may have conveyed the general flow of the story, but it did not convey why being kuleen meant that a man only met his wife every few months, or why one drop of inappropriate water spelled hunger for a village housewife. The numerous institutions and social phenomenon in Pater Panchali simply do not have a cultural equivalent to which the reader could be sent for immediate clarity. Even if the world had not changed so dramatically, it would be impossible to compare different dialects and river patterns into standardized English - or even modern standardized Bengali, for that matter. No standard received anywhere allows variations in class/caste speech and location. Its function is to smooth out such diversity. As for the idioms and aphorisms, as a bilingual language fan it would be a wildly joyful exercise for me to translate them literally and let the story glow with their vibration and quirk. But this would be a condescending disservice to both the reader and the text, for the literal translation of the word is not always an accurate contextual translation of the situation. The word Mawron!, for example, often uses an exclamation in a colloquial Bengali of a certain kind. Literally it means death. However, Mauron never implies a final termination in everyday use. Instead, depending on the context, its can range from being exasperated to the hell it is! Before playful Oh, go with you! Similarly, even readers who speak Bengali may find the phrase my gold and gems a rather clumsy translation of amar shona manic, a ubiquitous expression of love for a child. My precious boy would be a much smoother translation, although it has zero literal coincidence with the original. Finally, there is regret for the untranslatable. Every translator regrets it because it is impossible to completely recreate the whole culture, place and time in another language. Luckily, I'm small. As a post-colonial child who grew up in the realms of popular English literature at the turn of the last century, I have always been fascinated by the fascinating narrative titles that places seem to exist in the United Kingdom. With the blindness that comes dating, I thought it was a phenomenon exclusively British, or at least one that was not common in India. However, after rereading Pather Panchali, I realized that almost every place in the novel has just such a fanciful or meaningful title; constant use simply inured us to meaning. Of these, I transferred Nishindipur to the abode of content, because it is a particularly important choice on the part of Bibhutibhushan. A handful of other names have also found their way to their English counterparts because when one discovers a pond called a pond man has an irrepressible desire to share this discovery in the whole world. In other cases, however, I limited myself to original names for fear of burdening the text with too much local color. After this chronicle of the difference between the times of Bibhutibhushan and our own, it is ironic to admit that the times made Pater Panchali so relevant to the TWENTY of the first century. Like the displaced hero of Opu, we also face the almost irreversible destruction of our own homeland, and with it the cultures and lifestyles that have sustained our joys and sorrows for centuries. Destroying the natural environment is a disaster that does not require translation. In the ballad about Opu's journey through life - from an idyllic village to a smoke-filled city - we find the roots of our forced movements: seasonal, regional and emotional. In Opu's desperate longing for our lost homeland, we find echoes of our own anxieties and despair in our threatened lands. And in the exhortations of God's Travelled Road to always move forward, we can only hope that we will find a leap to find a way. Charaavetei, Charaavetei.
