Vishnushastri Chiplunkar (20 May 1850-17 March 1882) (Marathi : विष्णु कृष्ण चिपळूणकर) was a Marathi writer, whose writings have had a decisive influence on modern Marathi prose style. He was the son of the writer and scholar Krushnashastri Chiplunkar. == Life == Vishnushastri was born in Pune. He obtained his B.A. from Deccan College, Pune in 1872 and worked as a schoolteacher in government schools during the years 1872-1879. In 1880, he founded (together with Gopal Ganesh Agarkar and Bal Gangadhar Tilak) the newspapers ''Kesari'' (केसरी, in Marathi) and ''Maratha'' (in English). He was also a co-founder of 'The New English School' in Pune, intended to provide a more patriotically inclined education as opposed to the schools run by the government in British India. In 1878, Chiplunkar founded another monthly named ''Kavyetihas Sangraha'' (काव्येतिहास संग्रह) with the objective of better familiarizing the readers with the poetry and history of Maharashtra. The same year he established two printing presses, namely ''Aryabhushan Press'' (आर्यभूषण छापखाना) and ''Chitrashala'' (चित्रशाळा), the latter for the purpose of printing pictures of historical and spiritual figures and deities in Maharashtra. The next year, he opened a bookshop named ''Kitabkhana'' (किताबखाना), with the objective of making available inspirational books to Marathi readers. He died of a bout of typhoid in Pune. An early biography was written by his brother Lakshmanshastri Chiplunkar ,〔 〕 and a later appraisal of his career by Madkholkar .〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vishnushastri Krushnashastri Chiplunkar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
