Abstract

Mulkraj Anand, prolific writer of English fiction and art and critic. His novel Across the Black Waters, occupies a unique place among Anand’s novels, for it is the only novel he has hitherto written exclusively as a condemnation of war and its infernal effects. The novel goes to prove that a work of fiction may achieve much more than what even a powerful tract can achieve. This novel is set in Flanders during World War I. The present paper attempts to give a clear picture of different phases of war and hazardous life of the Indian soldiers. In this novel Anand has recreated all the horrors, fears, loss, effects of war and brutality of war.
