Soft cover. Zustand: New. Navsari Tales is a poignant, picturesque throwback to a time when the Parsi presence in Navsari was vibrant. With empathy and wit, Berjis Desai takes readers on a nostalgic trip into the homes and hearts of a close-knit community, weaving together a mosaic of true stories. A microcosm of all things Parsi, this fast-paced book offers an insider's view of life in Navsari during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries—full of esoteric rituals, strange relationships, and richly layered traditions. From cousin marriages to forbidden love, exorcisms to eccentric remedies, heartbreak to hilarity, these tales irreverently span the sacred and the profane, the mundane and the magical. With incandescent prose and an irreverent eye, Navsari Tales captures the spirit of a lost world—equal parts uproarious laughter and moist eyes. Like the ubiquitous batasa biscuit dunked in chai, this collection invites immersion. Sip, savour, and soak it all in. …

paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Predestined Prime Minister The Prime Ministers who will follow Narendra Modi, irrespective of party affiliation, will endeavour to emulate him. For all will be evaluated against Modi's yardstick. Modi's Mission has still to run its predestined course. Modi's Mission is not a biography-it is the story of an idea. Berjis Desai presents Narendra Modi as more than a politician: he is the instrument of a national awakening. From a childhood of poverty in Vadnagar to the Prime Minister's Office, his journey is portrayed as destiny in motion-rooted in spirituality, shaped by the Sangh and defined by his glorious years steering Gujarat's development that became a model for the nation. This book examines Modi's mission to raise the collective consciousness of India, to usher in transparent and result-oriented governance, and to reassert Bharat's civilizational identity. Rich in anecdotes, political events and spiritual insight, Modi's Mission is a riveting narrative of the man who transformed India from a country into a confident nation.…

They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.
