Some Pillars of Society

Karnataka’s celebrated polymath, D V Gundappa brings together in the sixth volume of reminiscences character sketches of prominent public figures, liberals and social workers. These remarkable personages hailing from different corners of South India are from a period that spans from the late nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. Written in Kannada in the 1970s, these memoirs go beyond personal memories and offer us a glimpse into the society of that era Art Gallery of memories ranks high among the great works of creative non-fiction in world literature and appears for the first time in English translation.
