Abstract

Despite its heroic and tragic theme, Kalidar describes the love, life, difficulties and misfortunes associated with tribal and rural life. One of the distinctive features of the novel which has made it unique among other novels is its unique and innovative description. The scope of this description is much extended and covers a different climate that causes us to ask ourselves “has the writer only aimed on arrangement of a literal and attractive text or has had other aims?”The use of description in the novel is so extensive that has been the cause of some criticism. Since no qualitative study has been conducted in connection with such descriptions and the advantages and disadvantages thereof, in this study we tried to investigate both qualitative and quantitative aspects of the novel, analyze and criticize the selections and verify their necessity in the novel to find a response to some criticisms.
