"Saar Sansaar" is a Vorstellung of Dr. Amrit Mehta for those lovers of world literature, who want to read their literature in Hindi - in an undilluted form, where the original text does not come to them through the filter of English. This is a modest effort to restore Hindi it's rightful glorious place in the world, whereby Hindi readers do not have to depend on some English and American translator to decide for them, what kind of literature from various foreign languages they should read.
The April-June issue of the magazine contains 15 texts – 11 prose-texts and 4 poems - from Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Slovakia, Hungary and Saudi Arabia. While Karl Markus-Gauß from Austria, Max Frisch and Franz Hohler from Switzerland and Etela Farkasova and Maria Batorova from Slovakia are well-known to our readers, there are two new names from Austria this time, viz. those of Manfred Chobot and Wolfgang Hermann, who, as per the tradition of “Saar Sansaar”, are our new finds representing the latest literature from their country. The German authors included in this issue are not new, but well-established names – Wolfgang Borchert, Heinz Riffe und the irrepressible Günter Wallraff with his best-selling book “Ganz unten”, which we have been publishing in the magazine in installments for over a decade now. Kostolanji Deze is the author representing Eastern Europe. The literature from the Orient is represented by Abir Zaki with his Arabic poems. A multifarious fare this time. Max Frischs and Karl Markus Gauß` essays and Franz Hohlers story are highly recommended.
There is also an interview with another young Austrian author Rudolf Habringer, who has recently published his new book “The Iceland Passion.” Manfred Chobot is featured on the cover. The cover has been done by the noted Austrian artist Michael Kienzer.To read the magazine click here
