Environmental Fiction and Concept of Nature in From Heaven Lake

Abstract

Environmental fiction is one that deals with men’s social conditions, environment and nature. It is a study of relationship between man and nature. Man is always dependent on nature. He cannot live without it. Nature provides the means of livelihood to the human beings. Nature is mighty and powerful to man. Man has always tried to make a victory over nature, but it is very temporary or momentary. Nature always makes a balance, but if there is any kind of nature created by man, there is every time a natural imbalance between man and nature. For removing this imbalance, man always makes a compromise with nature. Nature is cruel and so, it is necessary to compromise with nature. Otherwise, nature will destroy all those things which concern man.
