Hardback. Zustand: Fair. Hitting rock bottom as a homeless drug addict, Cheeni Rao returns to his family to find the door locked. Behind it he hears his Indian immigrant mother sobbing, "I can do nothing for you. You are now in Hanuman's hands." Hanuman, the Hindu monkey god, is his last resort. In Hanuman's Hands is a gritty, hauntingly beautiful memoir by Cheeni Rao, a young man born to a long line of Indian Hindu priests, who faced with the freedoms and temptations of life on an elite New England college campus, spirals down into a hedonistic nightmare of drugs, sex and crime. On his long journey to recovery and rehabilitation, he is magically guided by visions of Hanuman, the trickster monkey god of the Indian epic poem, the Ramayana. Bringing India wholeheartedly into America, Rao weaves his own story of Western culture clash with mythic stories of his Hindu ancestors who served in the ancestral temples of Kali. "This lyrical, haunting book is much more than just an account of Mr. Rao's descent into crack-cocaine addiction, criminality and homelessness on the streets of Chicago. Remarkably, he also weaves into his story fully realized visions of his Hindu ancestry. . . . In Hanuman's Hands beguiles."-Wall Street Journal.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Could a worse fate befall any mortal? History comes alive in this fast-paced novel set in mid-seventeenth-century India which recounts the last year in the life of Dara Shukoh, the eldest son of Emperor Shah Jahan and heir apparent to the Mughal empire. Storm clouds begin gathering, as Shah Jahan falls severely ill, and Dara's brothers Shuja, Aurangzeb and Murad contest Dara's right to the throne. In the ensuing war of succession, Dara, who finds greater satisfaction in inter-religious discourse than in statecraft, is no match for the ruthless Aurangzeb. Beset by divided counsels, he flees desperately across India, pursued relentlessly by Aurangzeb, facing defeat whenever he pauses to fight, until he is betrayed and pays for it with his life.Yet, Dara's fate was not inglorious. Had not Alima Mooltani, whose blessings he had sought, prophesied that while Aurangzeb would wield the sceptre for a while, which would end with his death, Dara's name would live forever in history and he would be revered down the ages as the prince of peace. Misfortune's Favourite is a tale of high adventure, hair-breadth escapes, bravery, loyalty and fortitude, combined with deceit and betrayal, as larger-than-life characters leap out of its pages, in their struggle for dominion and power.…
