My favourite book: muna madan



Favourite book means the most liking book. As a school student I have to read many books of courses. Only courses books are not enough for the students. We most read even more books. There are many books are available in markets. I have read some of the books that are not incorporated in our courses. Among the book, I have read, I like muna madan the best and written by the great poet Laxmi prasad Devkota. I like Muna Mdan because it has addressed the real status of the majority of the Nepalese people through several casts.
Muna Madan is a lyrical ballet and the language used in the book is attractive and tongue hanging. Words are used from the root and typical. It is a small epic. It contains the story of a newly married couple Muna and Madan. According to the story of this epic, Madan had an old mojor and their life standered is miserable. In order to reform his family status Madan decides to go to Lhassa to earn many with his friends. When he earns some money he returns to his family but before he reaches the family he falls ill and his friends leave him alone on the way. A sherpa (Bhote) meets him and he is cured well. In return he gives hes earnings but the sherpa can’t accept. He gives a lesson that property is always less than happiness and humanity.
Muna Madan tells us that humanity is dying out because of selfishness nature of mankind. More assets invite worries rather than happiness. The book ironically addresses over the castes and creeds and expresses that there is an only caste and that is man. Man is regarded superior not with caste but with deeds.
Muna Madan is one of the famous books in the field of world literature. Devkota’s supreme work Muna Madan’ has been translated into several languages. Devkota once himself had said  “If all of my creations and compositions will be fire caught, let survive my Muna Madan’. When one reads this book once, he feels thrust of reading it again and again.
