The Journey of Self-Discovery in Arun Joshi’s novel the Foreigner Javeed Ahmad Raina, Teacher

Abstract

Art is the reflection of life in its purest form, an expression of truth and beauty which remains unnoticed until brought to our attention by some sensitive human soul. It is true that good literature knows no nationality, nor is subjected to any bounds. It is occupied chiefly with the elementary passions and emotions-love, hate, joy and sorrow, fear and faith, which constitute an essential part of human nature. The more it reflects these emotions, the more surely does it awaken response in men of every race and nation.
