Chitralekha
Chitralekha is a 1934 Hindi novel by the Indian writer Bhagwati Charan Verma about the philosophy of life, love, sin and virtue. The author was still practicing law at Hamirpur when he wrote the novel, which brought him immediate fame and started his literary career. It is said to be modelled on Anatole France's 1890 novel Thaïs but set in India. However, the author noted in the book's in preface: "The difference between Chitralekha and Anatole France's Thaïs, is as much as there is in me and Anatole. In Chitralekha, there is a problem, it is my own perspective of seeing the virtue and vice of human life, and it is also the music of my soul." Source: Wikipedia (en)
