Hardcover. Zustand: New. Contents - 1.Introduction 2.Mira: Rebel versus Saint 3.Tipu Sultan: Tyrant versus Martyr 4.Gandhi: Mohan versus Mahatma 5.Conclusion 6.Bibliography. A reciprocal relationship between history and literature has long been noticed in various writings and here it is prudently handled by our modern Indian dramatists who by questioning the existing versions throw fresh light on some key regional or national figures of our Indian past. Challenging the traditional, linear view of history, the contemporary literary writings have focused on disparities and disruptions, realising the need to study history with its polyphonic voices. Modern Indian drama seems to negotiate the pressure of both the traditions (history and hagiography) as neither of these two versions of past is able to overhaul the other. All the three representations of Mira, Tipu Sultan and Gandhi in my book are seen moving from the historical towards the hagiographical though in varying degrees and different veins. Where the hagiographical belief on Mira's life story takes a stronger grip, the degree reduces in context of Tipu. And further in case of Gandhi too, the Mahatma in the end seems to have overpowered the historical Mohan to some extent.…

Contemporary British Fiction History and the Present provides critical insights into fiction's interventions in the remaking of British culture in the period of rapid and radical political economic and cultural changes after the 1960s. These transformations have juxtaposed a sense of belonging and increasing alienation in a society where the predominant white colour is merging into different shades of humanity within the reality of mass scale immigration. The book contains critical readings of some of the leading British novelists. Changed political atmosphere in the post empire and post war era and newly emergent social plurality have as the editors argue in the introduction foregrounded the awareness of postcolonial anxieties nostalgia and the multicultural nature of the English society. The essays focus on texts that have already become canonical in modern literature. It is hoped that these new readings will open up new discussion dialogue and further interpretations. 270 pp.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Have relationships really changed with time.or have people simply stopped losing themselves just to keep them alive A Journey Back to Yourself is not just a love story, but a journey through the unspoken questions that often exist silently within modern relationships.Moving through love, attraction, loneliness, self-respect, understanding, and companionship, this story gently explores the idea that not every relationship is meant only to lead us to someone else-some relationships are meant to lead us back to ourselves. This story is for those who have ever lost someone, tried to understand a relationship, or quietly wondered what a true relationship really means.Perhaps.some answers are not found in relationships, but in understanding yourself.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'A nuanced and refreshingly entertaining take on the age-old debate between faith and reason.' - Kirkus Reviews (Verdict: GET IT)'Gupta's commentary is both witty and deeply insightful.' - BookLife Reviews There are already thousands of books about spirituality, atheism, the afterlife, and the meaning of life.So why another one Besides the fact that this has over 170 cartoon illustrations and a goofy sense of humor, it was written as the kind of book that thinks about these questions the way regular people actually think about them.Not as an expert.Not as a guru.Not as a monk who sold his Maserati.More like two people sitting around on a Friday night, eating pizza, trying to figure out what the heck is going on - and still not being able to pick a side.Take near-death experiences, for example.Maybe they really are glimpses of an afterlife. Maybe people are visiting another realm, meeting dead relatives, connecting with a divine light, and coming back with a message that there is something awaiting us after we pass.Or maybe it is all happening inside a dying brain - oxygen deprivation, memory flashes, gamma waves, chemicals, and one last neurological fireworks show before the lights go out.That back-and-forth is the book.26 Logical Reasons I am a Theist and Atheist wanders through reasons to believe and reasons not to believe, exploring topics like: Near-Death Experiences \* Ghosts \* Heaven \* Karma \* Astrology \* Evolution \* Cloning \* Frozen Embryos \* Past Lives \* RNA World Hypothesis \* Reincarnation \* Consciousness \* Free Will \* Determinism \* Miracles \* Soul Energy \* Conjoined Twins \* The Incubus Phenomenon \* Occam's Razor \* and moreThis is not a dry philosophy book, a religious sermon, or an angry atheist manifesto. It is an entertaining, open-minded journey for readers who are torn between belief and doubt and still have questions about their own spirituality.If you are a wishy-washy agnostic - for whom the existential answer is not yet obvious - then this book is for you.
