Soft cover. Zustand: New. For over a century, Abanindranath Tagore's Raj Kahini has been among the most beloved works of Bangla literature. Mixing history and mythology with an extraordinary visual imagination, it tells the tales of the Suryavamsha the Sun Dynasty that ruled Mewar. Here we meet Shiladitya, child of the Sun God; Bappaditya, who builds an empire that stretches up to Persia; Hambir, the cheeky teenager who reclaims the throne of Mewar. We meet Padmini, the princess from SriLanka who becomes a goddess; Mirabai, who renounces her kingdom to be with her child-god, Nandalala. On every page, we are exposed to emotions that define the human condition love, sacrifice, jealousy, courage, greed and treachery. Honour and loyalty clash with villainy and evil, and the better side does not always win. Epic in their sweep, universal in their essence, the stories are timeless. Suryavamshi is a translation and adaptation of Abanindranath's classic for twenty-first-century India.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. The very best work of the acclaimed humorist Shovon Chowdhury The author of the critically acclaimed dystopian novels The Competent Authority and Murder with Bengali Characteristics, Shovon Chowdhury was a writer with a razor-sharp wit whose work blended the bizarre with the profound. Part-jester, part-rationalist, he employed his terrific sense of humour (often directed at himself) to put an absurd spin on reality. Besides generous excerpts from his widely praised novels, in the section entitled 'The Investigator' the book presents a selection from his longest-running column with the tagline 'We dig for the truth. So you don't have to'; 'We the People' is a series of reactions to the increasingly bewildering political world; 'The 4-Minute Manager' aims to make a management guru out of everyone; 'Ask Uncle' carries advice from your friendly neighbourhood uncle; 'What If' presents alternate histories from the Chinese capturing Assam to Madhuri never performing 'Ek, Do, Teen' and more; also included are poetry and the previously unpublished piece, 'I Lost My Trousers in Tiljala'. Wildly funny, thought-provoking, and thoroughly entertaining, Truth Digger pays tribute to one of our finest comic writers.…
