HISTORY OF TELUGU LITERATURE

AUTHOR'S VOICE I basically wrote "Telugu Saahithya Charithra" for the sake of candidates appearing for competitive examinations, literary lovers and all Telugu readers - in a simple way and literary style I wrote this book. This book already acquired lot of popularity and got reprinted for seven times which is of great significance. There are minimal books in English describing Telugu literature. Telugu though carries a great literature still it is less known to other language speaking people in the world. Hence, I am Publishing this book now. This book contains glory of Telugu literature and not debates and discussions on it. My intention in other words is to inform all about the evolution of Telugu language and literature and it's development, it's specialty right from the eleventh century till date. Who are the talented people to translate? Who are dedicated for this? Who would maintain schedule? For all these, I found Palanki people to be the right answer and I got the translation done by them. Palanki Sathya and Palanki Sathyanarayana are couple. They are hard working scholars in the English and Telugu languages for whom I express my thankfulness. My special thanks to Telugu language lover and Retired Chief Secretary to AP Government, my well wisher Dr. K V Ramanachaary IAS who accepted for dedication of this book. My special compliments to Delhi Telugu Academy Secretary Mr. Nagaraju, Also heartful Compliments to Vishalandhra Rajeswara Rao and Kethu Viswanadha Reddy for their never ending co-operation. My special thanks to my friend Thallapalli Muralidhar Goud who helped me for bringing this book successfully in time. - Dwana Sastry
