Soft cover. Zustand: New. FROM THE WINNER OF KERALA SAHITYA AKADEMI AWARDS 2019 & 2021 Lightning Tusker is tranquilised and corralled with the help of Dr Tharappan. This is no ordinary elephant; he's the embodiment of 'Elephantam', the very essence of all that is good in the universe. His captors are filled with its nemesis, the dark energy known as 'Misophantam'. It permeates men like Gunner Chandy who had killed Lightning Tusker's father, Peacock Plum, for his tusks the colour of peacock feathers. Granny Elephant knows this. She also knows how the universe originated: the tussle between Elephantam and Misophantam, good and evil, how they crashed into one another, caused the Big Bang. She tells the baby elephants in her herd that Elephantam and Misophantam have existed in the sky and on this earth ever since. She can also sense that an elephant in their midst, known to be weak and reclusiveand tusklessis in fact magical. This is the story of two brothers: Lightning Tusker, the bravest young elephant in the forest, and Tuskless Tusker, written off by everyone as a lost cause. It's also a story about friendship and courage, about human greed and hubris. From one of Malayalam's most celebrated young writers, comes a tale that moves and entertains in equal measure.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. The Adhikarathil family had a distinguished history. It prospered both in terms of wealth and eminence, acquiring the status of royalty in Malabar, Kerala, until the birth of a child named Eranimos shocked everyone. Unlike his fair-skinned, Christian forebears, Eranimos was born dark-skinned, leading to controversial conjectures about his lineage. Blackened tells the story of its protagonist's quest to discover the truth behind his dark skin and caste identity. But weaved into this personal tale are multiple layers of Kerala's social and political histories―its caste conflicts, its massive waves of conversion and migration, its clashing belief systems, and its rural and urban divide. Originally published as Karikkottakkary in Malayalam, Blackened is an impactful bildungsroman that covers the arc of a conflicted life, and shows us how family histories are tied into the larger historical currents that form communities and shape destinies.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. The remote village of Perumpadi, at the border between Kerala and Karnataka, is a unique settlement. Bounded by dense Kodagu forests on the south and west, and raging rivers on the north and east, its very isolation was what drew the first settlers to this unharnessed land. The first to make his way across this rough terrain was Kunjuvarkey, along with a young woman bearing his child. Kunjuvarkey was fleeing the opprobrium of getting his own daughter pregnant. Those who followed had similar shameful secrets. In a land of sinners, where no one pried into the other's past, they were able to live and build a community without being tied down by society's interdictions. Fifty years later, as the community moves into modernity, they start showing signs of reforming from their beginnings-of a hillbilly and promiscuous existence. With no panchayats to resolve local disputes, following in his father's footsteps, Jeremias Paul of Reformation House, known by the moniker President, becomes the unchallenged adjudicator of Perumpadi, thanks to his equanimity and sense of fairness. But Jeremias has his own secrets and, ultimately, may have to answer for his own moral lapse. Anthill, a robust translation of the award-winning novel Puttu and with a cast of over 200 characters, tells the story of a people who have tried to shed the shackles of family, religion and other restraining institutions, but eventually also struggle to conform to the needs of a cultured society. Written with disarming honesty and biting humour, Anthill is ultimately a story that questions the veneer of respectability people try to put up in their lives.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Bounded by dense Kodagu forests on the south and west, and rivers on the north and east, Perumbadi, at the border between Kerala and Karnataka, has hidden itself from the world. Its very isolation has attracted varied settlers from south Kerala over the years. The first settler on this land, Kunji Varkey, was fleeing the opprobrium of getting his own daughter pregnant. Those who followed had similar shameful secrets. Anthill, the exquisite translation from the Malayalam of the Kerala Sahitya Akademi-winning novel Puttu, is the story of common people who tried to wriggle out of the shackles of family, religion and other restraining institutions, but eventually also struggle to civilize themselves-from their beginnings of a hillbilly existence and life as a promiscuous community. As Perumbadi moves into modernity and feels the need for refined justice, Jeremias comes to be known by the moniker President and becomes the unchallenged adjudicator of Perumbadi, thanks to his equanimity and sense of fairness. However, even as he resolves local disputes, he is troubled by developments in his own home and by his own moral failure. One of the most promising young writers in Malayalam, Vinoy Thomas, in his bestselling second novel, deploys dark humour to question the moral codes that bind society. Ultimately, this is also a story about the human race.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Carbon dots (CDs) have gained significant attention in recent years as a next-generation fluorescent material, owing to their unique optical properties, excellent biocompatibility, low toxicity, and ease of synthesis. These nanoscale carbon-based materials offer an environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative to traditional semiconductor quantum dots and organic dyes. One of the most effective ways to tailor and enhance the photoluminescence of carbon dots is through heteroatom doping, particularly with elements such as nitrogen, which can significantly improve their quantum yield and modify their electronic structure. This book explores the synthesis and nitrogen doping of carbon dots to enhance their optical properties. It highlights their characterization and application as a fluorescent nanoprobe for the selective detection of toxic Cr(VI) ions, demonstrating their potential in environmental sensing.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.
