The Book of Marriage
Couples spend an enormous amount of time and energy planning for the perfect wedding. But what about planning for the perfect marriage? In these times of rampant divorce and "relationship" crises, it makes sense to think seriously about the many challenges of married life that loom so large today. The Book of Marriage offers a treasury of marital wisdom from across the ages. Intellectually engaging, morally rich, and ideologically balanced, this anthology gathers some of the deepest, wittiest, and most edifying perspectives on the big questions of married life: Why get married at all? Can love last a lifetime? How do we handle money? Who's the boss? What about children? Conflict? Growing old...
The Surreal Reich
The Third Reich proves Lord Byron's maxim that truth is stranger than fiction. Hitler's mania made the Reich surreal. This book documents his neuroses, charisma, ruthlessness, and "storybook" rise to power. It's alarming that an astute psychopath with acting ability became an absolute dictator in a modern European state. German political naivety contributed to his miraculous ascent. During election campaigns between 1927 and 1933 Hitler posed as an anti-Communist savior, while concealing his real agenda of war, genocide, and quack "eugenics." The Surreal Reich closely examines all leading Nazis. It shows how Hitler had different sets of favorites at various times. Dietrich Eckart, Rudolf Hes...
Knot of Love
This thought-provoking compilation of fables artfully deconstructs the human condition to examine its mysteries. Each story is a microcosm in which human nature is laid bare for reflection. Relationships, the concept of mother in modern society, the struggle for materialistic utopia and the journey towards inner peace are all concepts explored within beautifully crafted text. In 'The Key', Kishan reflects on the ability of people who have nothing to exist in a state of plentifulness. In 'Ghutiya', the life of an elderly mother is revered by her children, who reflect on the delicate state of mortality. Other stories explore the existential nuances of human life through simple allegorical tales, all of which gently command contemplation of self-honesty and inner truth.
Mangoes on the Maple Tree
"What I found most enjoyable about this novel is that it steers clear of stereotypes about Indian immigrant families. The Bhaves and the Moghes are refreshingly different from some families that inhabit the world of diasporic fiction. There are no daughters being threatened with arranged marriages, no authoritarian parents, and no weepy sentimentality about the land left behind."-(Nalini Iyer, on SAWNET Book Pages) "This is the story of two families that not only dive deep into dangerous waters, but surface and live to tell the tale."-(Michelle Reale in Rain Taxi Online) "A hymn to the joys and sorrows of family, in the best, most inclusive sense of the word." Andreas Schroeder
Mahabharata
The Mahabharata is an Indian epic, in its original Sanskrit probably the largest ever composed. It is the story of a dynastic struggle that provides a social, moral, and cosmological background to the climatic battle. The present English rendition is a retelling based on a translation of the Sanskrit original published by Pratap Chandra Roy, Published in the beginning of this century. William buck has condensed the story. The old translation from which he worked covers 5800 pages of print, while his own book is less than a tenth of that length. But by and large, Buck`s rendition reflects the sequence of events in the Sanskrit epic, and he uses the traditional techniques for instance, of stor...
I want to Live
It’s a story which is written keeping in mind a woman. A woman who fought and keeps fighting. A woman who dreamt and never stopped dreaming. A woman who fell in love because she wanted to feel in love. A Women who made her own way. Runmoy was waiting in the garden of his big mansion. There was a teapot with couple of teacups ready for Savitri to arrive. Runmoy stood up when he saw Savitri walking towards him. ‘Kaise hain aap Runmoyji (How are you Runmoyji)?’ asked Savitri Devi shaking Runmoy’ s hand. Runmoy responded with mixed emotions, ‘Abhi tak to theek hai Madam, aage ka aapke upar hai. Boliye? (I am fine till now, but it further depends on you. What have you got?)’. Savitri ...
