“That is part of the beauty of all literature.
You discover that your longings are universal longings,
that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone.
You belong.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald
It's a well-said proverb that, “The writings of a period, language, or country, especially those that are kept alive by their beauty of style or thought”. The word “Malayalam” means a mountainous country (“mala”- mountain,” Alam”-valley), signifying its origin from the western ghats.
However, it is anything constructed from a meaningful string of beautiful words.
The evidence of Kerala literature can be connected simultaneously with the origin of Malayalam itself. The first record of this literature is dated back to the ancient era of the 13th century. When Malayalam is often referred to as a poetic language affluent in every genre. Each successive generation has added its own contribution to Malayalam literature, the ancient texts are still popularly influential. Lack of printed medium, the literature of the ancient period reached its audience through performances like dramas, art forms like Kathakali, Ottenthullal, Koodiattam, etc., and through recitation like indigenous ballads and folk songs.
