Hardcover. Zustand: As New. In The Land of the Blue Jasmine is an extraordinary first novel that brings back the old worldly charm of story telling as it conjures characters out of thin air and creates a world of magic and mystery. It is an adventure story woven around the eternal theme of the struggle of good over evil. It is about the joy of music and of love of death and of letting go. A little girl has to avenge the death of her parents. She must travel to the neither here nor there secret place hidden in shadows and whispers. There in the Land of the Blue Jasmine she must find and destroy the Serpent. Armed only with a flute she sets out on a journey to put aside the ghosts of the past that haunt her.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Calcutta is the central character in each of the three stories in this book. As all Bengalis will tell you, even when the city stands quietly in the corner, not saying a word, her presence may be deeply felt by those close to her. The House and Other Stories is also about the many persons we encounter in the everyday. These are the people we pass by without a second thought. Who are these people? What stories lie locked up in each of them? Will they ever be told? Like magic, one question leads to another and soon, they no longer appear anonymous; they come alive. It is as if an entirely new world has been conjured before our eyes. And we are enchanted by the stories that have lain hidden from us for so long. Even if the stories emerge at times from the realm of the dead.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. We are taught to conform from an early age. Concepts, such as, success, failure or happiness are externally determined. Our very approach to failure, then, is mechanical and binary. We see it as the opposite of success. Breaking such barriers, 'Why We Fail' suggests that our perception of success and failure is contingent on what we consider to be our purpose in life. And to find our life's true purpose, it inspires us to move to a continuum approach, with an elevating interplay of passion, compassion and dispassion. This thought-provoking book, written by a scholar-diplomat, offers a refreshingly alternate perspective on how it is within our power to rise above failure and lead a fulfilling life.…
