Abstract Every novel has a unique character, style and plot. The characteristic in the novel is commonly connected to the formula used to narrate the story. The formula in novels commonly involves narrating the figure that becomes the main character in the novel. However, the perspective of the narrator cannot be separated to make an impact in the story. Each author has their own way of narrating their work. True stories can be found in all literary works. Since there would be no record of cultural activity without recounting the story, it serves as the basis for a several literary works. This statement is consistent with the vision of contemporary literature sees art today, which holds a significant place in the comprehension of cultural activity; on the other hand, the narrative showcases the work of the entire element. The problems are the concepts of stories and storytelling, which are included in the study narratology. Narrative is provisionally defined as a semiotic representation of a sequence of events linked in a temporal and casual way. There is no standard definition for the narrative. Definitions are a type of translation since they help us understand a phenomenon in connection to others that are already known to us and (theoretically) should not require definition. As a result, a definition of a certain item will change depending on the “language”, we choose to define it.
A definition must be contextualized because it serves a specific purpose. Depending on the needs of the context, a definition may be more or less specific or detailed. However, the verb narrate is connected to the word narrative. Not only in novels or historical literature, but also in everyday life. The narrative is linked with the following like school teacher, friend in school playground, co-passenger during travel, reporter in television, newsreader over the radio, partner of one on dinner, newspaper columnist, as well as narrator in novel that we like to read prior laying down in bed with the actions of narration and could be identified everywhere when someone tells us about something. Fludernik (2006) proposed Narrative theory, which studies narrative. The genre's study, known as narrative theory or narratology, is aimed at describing the constants, variables, and combinations typical of narrative. Its objective is to clarify how these characteristics of narrative texts are connected within the framework of theoretical models (typologies).
In the vast field of contemporary literature, the works of Amitav Ghosh stand as luminous testimonies to the art of narrative. He won praise from readers throughout the world for their powerful narratives that deftly weave together the personal and the political, the historical and the cultural. His words have force not only because of the stories he tell, but also because of the unique ways he express those stories. Amitav Ghosh is the most celebrated Indian-English writers of their generation. He is renowned for his beautiful writing, in-depth exploration of identity and belonging, and passionate involvement with the Indian diaspora. However, he has quite different narrative styles. Ghosh’s writing is more wide, intellectual, and historically educated. Amitiv Ghosh in the novels such as The shadow lines and The Hungry Tide, unravelling the linguistic variations, structural innovations and cultural signifiers embedded in their works. In addition to enhancing literary study, knowledge of these narrative idioms offers insightful advice to authors, teachers and readers; thus, making a better understanding for the numerous ways in which stories can be told.
