Soft cover. Zustand: New. The tiger moved restlessly around the narrow space into which it was penned. There was light and air beyond the long thick stick things that kept it back but no sign of grass. Just a bare stretch of flat stone. Leaf shadows moved across the empty clearing in front with the gusts of wind. Apart from the rustle of the leaves there was no other sound. Nor were there smells of anything on the air. All the tiger could scent were a few stale smells of people and those died when the wind dropped. No scent of monkeys or deer or any of the other jungle creatures he was used to. It was a young tiger barely old enough to hunt for itself. It was still very confused as to how it had got itself into this narrow space. A tiger is kidnapped and so is a girl - though not at the same time. They find themselves sharing isolation in a hunting lodge that is rumoured to be haunted, at the mercy of an unknown enemy. Who has locked them in and why? What happens when a young tiger is terrified out of its wits and a girl finds herself locked in and forced to fend for herself? Perhaps call for a ghost to come to the rescue.…

Something thudded against the train window and the glass shattered.' 'If anyone had told Manjul that she would be sitting in a car next to a leopard she would have called them a liar.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. The Sunderbans, a tangle of forests where, according to legend, ghost tiger roar at the dead of night making the mangroves shiver. However, the tiger Rohan finds is real and needs to be rescued. Rohan, on his first internship, is lost in the middle of this haunted land very unlike the hilly Corbett country he is familiar with. And he needs to be rescued too. Help comes in the shape of a girl who never seems to turn a hair at tigers or marshes! And as always, there is a mystic presence close at hand. Rohan heard a murmur of, "Mama!" and one or two of the sailors started rocking back and forth themselves in a kind of prayer. He looked wordlessly at the sailor next to him, whose fingers were tight around his clay pot of tea. "Bagh," the sailor whispered. "Tiger!" The top deck continued to rock in a steady kind of motion as if something might be pacing up and down on it. There was another tiger. It appeared like a streak of fire out of the scrub trees springing past Rohan's shoulder, so close that he felt the heat of the big body and its scent filled his nostrils. It had missed him because he had been bending. Uniting pace, a symbol of courage and along with that a character from a fairy tale to link old and new, So that a bridge is formed between the heroic, romantic traditions of the past and today's modern world.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This is the story of Tagore's first publisher-the man they called a legend in printing. Having learnt his trade at The Pioneer, Chintamoni Ghosh founded the Indian Press on 4 June 1884 in Allahabad when he was just thirty years old. It is the story of the Indian Press, yes, but also of the house that Chintamoni Babu built to shelter his family. A memoir of its times, it evokes the way families once lived together in the great houses of Allahabad-drawn from the recollections of Chintamoni Ghosh's children and grandchildren who grew up in an atmosphere few families could claim to have, including royal weddings, dips in the Mahakumbh, brushes with political unrest and more. Tagore's classic Gitanjali was printed at the Indian Press, and the poet himself was a regular visitor to the house the Press built. As Chintamoni Ghosh told his son Hari Keshav, to whom he entrusted the running of the Press: 'This is not merely a press. It is a permanent contribution to the nation.'.…
