Struggles of Life is the English translation of the Maithili novel Jeevan-Sangharsh, a poignant portrayal of rural life of Mithila shaped by labour, tradition, and social responsibility. Set in a village community, the novel delves into how ordinary people confront poverty, gender injustice, and moral dilemmas within the rhythms of everyday life. The narrative emphasizes collective experience over individual heroism, revealing how festivals, beliefs, and social norms both support and constrain the community. The experiences, dignity, and resilience of women form the emotional heart of the novel. Marked by restraint and moral depth, Struggles of Life avoids idealization and presents rural society in all its complexity. This translation retains the cultural richness and ethical tone of the original and offers English readers a clear and thoughtful engagement with lived reality.
