Author : Jayti Majde and Dr. Snehi
Abstract
This paper explores the nuanced portrayal of nature in selected stories by Ruskin Bond, a renowned Indian author known for his evocative and vivid depictions of the natural world. Through a careful analysis of key narratives, the paper delves into the various ways in which Bond's storytelling captures the essence of the natural landscape, portraying it as a dynamic and integral character within his literary works. “The examination focuses on Bond's distinctive narrative techniques, such as vivid imagery, sensory descriptions, and the use of local flora and fauna, to reveal how nature serves not only as a backdrop but as a central theme that shapes the characters and plot. Furthermore, the paper considers the broader implications of Bond's ecological consciousness and his reflections on the relationship between humans and the environment. By offering a comprehensive exploration of the portrayal of nature in Ruskin Bond's selected stories, this paper contributes to a deeper understanding of the author's literary craftsmanship and his thematic engagement with the natural world.
