Cinematic Adaptation of Literature and Enigma of Aesthetics is an analytical treatise on the discourse of kinship between literature and cinema. It is an interesting, informative and useful commentary on acutely pertinent and immensely contemporary issues and challenges in literary discourse about cinematic adaptations.The book is a corroborative effort by contributors to liberate adaptation studies from hierarchal structure and set it free from the hegemony of Hollywood as an area of adaptation studies. Most importantly, it is an unprecedented effort to spotlight the most neglected arena i.e., convergence of literary and cinematic aesthetics in adaptations.
