Soft cover. Zustand: New. FEATURING THE STORY THAT BECAME A POPULAR FILM This selection of Tagore's stories exemplifies his remarkable ability to enter the complexities of human relationships. Within seemingly simple plots, Tagore portrays with unusual compassion and lyricism the predicament of Bengali women in traditional contexts, moving from the loneliness of an intelligent, beautiful woman neglected by her husband in his acclaimed novella 'Broken Nest' to the powerlessness of a young girl whose prized possession is taken away in 'Notebook', from the casual abandonment of an orphan in 'Postmaster' to a girl robbed of her childhood in 'The Ghat's Tale'. Powerful in their simplicity, brilliant in their astuteness, the novella and three short stories included in this collectiontranslated by acclaimed poet and fiction writer Sharmistha Mohantyare some of the Nobel Laureate's finest prose works.…

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Through these spare poems, Sharmistha Mohanty weaves together, inseparably, the contemporary and the almost primal. The result is a singular voice, new and old at the same time. In its oral quality, in its questioning and assertion, in its vigour and vulnerability, it seems to be uttering anew what was once collective, and perhaps still is, under the surface. The poems in The Gods Came Afterwards are a calling out, far beyond the personal, through an unusually pared down English language and a long Indic heritage.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. The minute the sneeze droplets hit the back of Rohan's neck, he knew trouble was brewing. He tried not to alarm his family but couldn't fool Manasi, his wife of 14 years. Manasi always trusted her gut, and her gut was telling her, 'The worst is yet to come.' It was the early days of this pandemic. Mortality rates were high, terror had gripped the world as an unseen virus felled the population. Treatment was at best experimental, there was no vaccine in sight. As Rohan was kept alive by machines, Manasi, managing her own ill health and that of their three children also stricken with the virus, battled to save her husband from the confines of her quarantine. This is a tale of survival against all odds, all for love and family.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. No evocative of contemporary Indian politics can match that found in the pages of Pranab Mukherjee s diary, a place where his mind found its most memorable outlet. The 13th President of India, who served as India s External Affairs, Defence, Finance and Commerce Minister at different times; a Parliamentarian with the unique distinction of being the leader of both Houses; and a member of the Congress Working Committee for 23 years, Pranab Mukherjee was a scholar par excellence, powerful orator and one of India s most towering statesmen. But to his daughter, Sharmistha Mukherjee, he was Baba, the workaholic; the history teacher who narrated events in the spirit of adda at dinner time; and the devoutly religious man who never imposed his faith on his daughter. In public and private, Pranab was always larger than life. In Pranab, My Father: A Daughter Remembers, Sharmistha offers a fascinating glimpse into the illustrious life of Pranab Mukherjee. She invites us into her family s private world that was peopled by the Gandhis Indira, Rajiv, Sonia and Rahul; Prime Ministers P.V. Narasimha Rao, Atal Behari Vajpayee, Dr Manmohan Singh and, more recently, Narendra Modi. She uncovers new, hitherto unknown facets of Pranab s political life his unfulfilled ambition of becoming India s prime minister arising out of his inability to emerge as the number one person to earn Sonia s trust, the personality cult around the Nehru Gandhi family, Rahul Gandhi s lack of charisma and political understanding, Mamata Banerjee s opposition to Pranab s nomination as the presidential candidate (which sealed the deal in his favour) and his advice to PM Modi to acknowledge the contributions of Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi. Through Pranab s diary entries, personal stories narrated to Sharmistha and her own research enhanced by her collection of never-before-seen photographs this is a sweeping, multigenerational narrative from a flickering lamp in West Bengal s remote village to the glittering chandeliers of India s capital. Refreshingly original as it is exquisitely rendered, Pranab, My Father: A Daughter Remembers is a remarkable debut book that celebrates a special father daughter relationship. Read less.…
