Soft cover. Condición: New. Ten powerful stories that capture the essence of Tamil society through the prism of the personal and the political. A stranger in a village is befriended by an itinerant salesman who shares his meal with him—only to be repaid in an unexpected manner. The opening story in this collection, 'Thambi', set…s the tone for the stories that follow, where the characters remain nameless for the most part, yet give voice to the internal struggles of men and women caught in an increasingly divisive society where questions of trust, love, loss and loneliness have a profound effect on their lives. In 'Un-timely', a young girl dies a mysterious death, and is reunited with the man who loves her—but just for a day. In the titular story, 'An Ocean in a Well', a man's search for his mother draws him to the ocean, but leads him to a well where he hears her voice, and sees the waves rising from within, beckoning him. 'Fact finding' and 'A Death and Some More' portray a bleak picture of persistent caste-based violence in a modern world and the ineffectiveness of the political system. And in stories like 'Zha, The Unique Letter', 'The Word' and 'A Theory Concerning Theft', Ravikumar satirises the contemporary ideological and intellectual scene of Tamil Nadu, exposing the follies of a culture in transition. Together, these diverse stories from the pen of a political activist and prolific writer, brilliantly explore themes ranging from the psychological struggles of individuals, to the ideological and societal conflicts of the Tamil people.

Soft cover. Condición: New. At the edge of a parched upland, Bangarwadi lies almost empty—its shepherds gone with their flocks, its school forsaken to dust and birds. To take charge of this neglected school and unforgiving landscape arrives a young schoolteacher, uncertain of his place and unsure whether learning and education h…as any meaning in this community at all. Through his gradual immersion in village life, Vyankatesh Madgulkar offers a deeply attentive portrait of a community shaped by toil, hunger, and inherited rhythms of survival. The story unfolds through small, intimate encounters—under an ancient neem tree, in a bare classroom, during night-time gatherings lit only by an oil lamp—revealing the moral codes, affections, cruelties, and quiet solidarities that hold the village together. The shepherds' world, resistant to authority yet governed by its own order, emerges with remarkable clarity and restraint. First published in Marathi in 1955, Bangarwadi is regarded as a landmark in post-independence Marathi literature. It is an unsentimental yet deeply compassionate portrait of rural India that examines education not as an abstract ideal but as a fragile, negotiated presence in lives shaped by necessity. This lucid translation by Shanta Gokhale brings Madgulkar's classic to contemporary readers, preserving its austere beauty and its enduring meditation on belonging, responsibility, and the slow work of trust.

Soft cover. Condición: New. When a family decides to remove its ancestral gods from a deserted village home, it marks more than a physical relocation. It signals the end of a way of life. After returning to Palasgaon, four brothers confront the slow, irreversible unravelling of the world that shaped them. The house that once hel…d festivals and faith now stands neglected; the village has thinned out; devotion has become impractical, even inconvenient. For some, the gods remain living presences, bound to memory and meaning. For others, they are symbols of obligations that no longer fit a changed social and economic reality. As the family prepares for the final rituals, buried resentments, longings and private griefs rise to the surface. First published in Marathi in 1961, The Gods Are Leaving is a modern classic—a profound exploration of a society in transition, where inherited faith collides with modern pressures, and tradition yields—uneasily—to new values of mobility, pragmatism, and individual survival. D.B. Mokashi captures the inner lives of his characters with remarkable sensitivity, showing how historical change is experienced not as abstraction, but as emotional loss, confusion and quiet resistance. Shanta Gokhale's elegant and nuanced rendering brings this deeply human novel about belief and doubt, continuity and rupture, to a new generation of readers.

Soft cover. Condición: New. "Politicians try in every way to keep countries afraid… In your fear is their power." "If intelligence grows, temples will be empty, but life will become immensely beautiful." For over five thousand years the politician and the priest have been in the same business, says Osho—the business of fear in o…rder to wield absolute power over humanity. Drawing upon his talks delivered during the 1980s, this is a gloriously subversive and empowering book that is of immense relevance today, when countries around the world are threatened by authoritarianism, greed and religious intolerance. Osho is universally recognized as a great mystic—a rebel prophet—and a world teacher. His talks have inspired millions of people across the globe on the path of self-evolution.

Soft cover. Condición: New. 'Rashna Imhasly, deeply rooted in Indian mythology and yoga traditions and well versed in the psychotherapy and psychology of Swiss psychiatrist C.G. Jung, illuminates the powerful bridges between these realms. In Courage to Be You, she brings these insights together with clarity and compassion, offer…ing readers a path toward inner healing, identity, and wholeness in a rapidly changing India.'—Dr. Theodor Abt, Jungian Psychologist When living authentically risks everything you've been taught to value, how do you move forward? Courage to Be You tells the intertwined stories of Amit and Najib, a gay couple for whom 'coming out' means confronting their families on not only their sexual identity, but also their religious and social differences—Najib is Amit's employee. Rajeshwari, Amit's childhood friend, is a woman struggling to reclaim her identity from a childhood trauma of sexual abuse. Their parallel journeys, set against the backdrop of a society where conformity is rewarded and individuality often suppressed, offer readers not only a path to emotional healing and self-understanding but also practical tools from Jungian psychology and chakra healing to reclaim autonomy and inner peace. Through conversations with their therapist, Amit and Rajeshwari work through deeply rooted societal conditioning and emotional blockages. By addressing the mind-body connection through chakra healing and integrating Jungian concepts like the 'shadow self' and individuation, the book equips readers to confront their inner conflicts and begin a journey towards self-discovery.

Soft cover. Condición: New. 'Brash, worldly and wickedly funny, Eka Kurniawan may be Southeast Asia's most ambitious writer in a generation.'—The Economist 'Kurniawan flips effortlessly from first to third person, creating a fun and textured style, which blends a clear-eyed perspective with moments of visceral emotion. [A Dog Me…ows] brims with humour and heart.'—Publishers Weekly Growing up in a small Indonesian town, Sato Reang has a happy childhood playing soccer and watching crickets fight. Until the day he is circumcised—and his father declares that he is now 'a pious boy'. Sato soon learns that a life of piety means a loss of all the everyday pleasures he had once enjoyed, as he wakes at dawn for the first call to prayer, and spends the evening in Quranic recitation. Inwardly chafing, Sato outwardly obeys his father's strictures—until his father dies. That is when Sato decides to achieve his ambition of not being pious and embarks on a life of mischief—such as pissing on trucks and crates of fruit —and worse, setting fire to the town's theatre. He no longer goes to the mosque, or prays five times a day. But he does not rest until he makes Jamal, the most pious boy in school, commit a sin—like watching porn and drinking black beer. What starts as schoolboy fun ends in tragedy, and raises disturbing questions about teenage rebellion, overbearing parenting, force and freedom. The Dog Meows, the Cat Barks is Eka Kurniawan's most contemporarily relevant book, and his quixotic switching from first to third person, makes it a truly unique one. Relentlessly funny and frank, this new novel by Indonesia's best-known writer is compulsive reading.

Soft cover. Condición: New. Real Lives Saved, then remembered. John Easow is a Dalit fisherman's son from the Tamil coast who believes work might deliver him into dignity. Instead, a promise of employment in Thailand carries him across checkpoints into the lawless shadows of the South East Asian Golden Triangle. There, the dream… of prosperity is replaced by a terrifying modern nightmare: cyber-slavery. Trapped inside a high-security scam compound, John and his companions are forced to defraud strangers online while facing the brutality of electric batons and the dreaded 'Tiger Bench.' What begins as a dangerous, forbidden love story back home unfurls into a harrowing account of captivity, coercion, and the desperate brotherhood formed under the threat of erasure on foreign soil. Threaded through this brutal geography is the Moei River—marking the border between Thailand and Myanmar, a living archive of the lost. As John plots a survival that seems impossible, memory becomes his resistance: of a father claimed by the sea, of Kathavarayan the rebel god, and of the stubborn, unextinguished insistence on being human. At once intimate and epic, The River of Grey Flowers moves between myth and reportage, the sacred and the transactional. It is a novel about what the world asks of the expendable—and what, against all odds, they still carry with them: memory, defiance, and the fragile hope of return.

Hardcover. Condición: New. Ruskin Bond has spent a lifetime paying attention to the seasons of the hills—watching their arrivals and departures, their repetitions and small variations, the ways in which they shape both landscape and daily life. He's written of spring's first leaves and tentative warmth; the long, insect-filled d…ays of summer; the monsoon's rain, mist, and abundance; autumn's burnished light and ripening fruit; winter's cold silences and snow-laden trees; and finally, the eternal season—the quiet renewal that begins where all endings meet. In Scenes from the Magic Mountain, he gathers his writings and remembered moments across these six seasons, observing the natural world—along forest paths, during walks, storms, solitary afternoons, and shared silences. Birds and trees, rain and light, houses, animals, neighbours, and memories pass through these pages without hurry. Thoughtful, attentive and reflective, Scenes from the Magic Mountain offers the seasons not as events to be marked, but as a way of living in time. A companion for slow reading, this is a book to return to across the year, as the seasons turn and return again.

Soft cover. Condición: New. A guide to negotiating romantic relationships by an acclaimed psychoanalyst who draws upon Indian mythology and spirituality. Each time the spell of falling in love is cast, a series of archetypal behaviour patterns are set into motion. The beloved becomes the epicentre of life. However, this blissful… state most often gradually turns into disillusionment as external pressures become more demanding and ego battles strain relationships. Separation is the most common solution in the West and increasingly more so in the East. Transpersonal psychology examines the Self beyond the Ego, recognising spiritual growth as an important dimension of individual development. Taking the reader through the entire journey of love with its tumultuous ups and downs, Rashna Imhasly-Gandhy, a Jungian analyst and transpersonal psychologist whose work bridges Eastern wisdom and Western depth psychology, helps us understand our psyche, examine our expectations— conscious and subconscious, and then reveals what actual loving is all about. Using the Radha-Krishna, Shiva-Shakti myths, she paves a practical path towards solving marital crises, activating inner healing and sustaining love.

Hardcover. Condición: New. "Chinnoy Seth, jinke apne ghar sheeshe ke hote hain, woh doosron par patthar nahin phenka karte." The celebrated autobiography of Akhtarul Iman, a modern poet who reshaped both Urdu verse and Hindi cinema dialogue. The writer of this iconic line from Waqt (1965) was also one of modern Urdu'smost distin…ctive poets, and among the most influential, if less remembered, cultural figures of post-Independence India. Born amid hardship and constant movement across the villages of UP and Haryana, Akhtarul Iman, the son of a wayward imam, grew up between mosques and makeshift homes before finding his way to Delhi, Aligarh and finally the film world of Mumbai. In the process, he helped shape not only modern Urdu verse but the idiom of Hindi cinema. Told with a restraint that marked his temperament, mirrored in the subtle intellectual poise of his art, this autobiography moves through memories of rural childhood, the harsh years in a Daryaganj reformatory, early literary friendships and the long struggle for survival in cinema. Along the way appear many of the figures who shaped the cultural landscape of the mid twentieth century progressive poets and critics such as Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Meeraji, Shahryar, Krishan Chander, Jigar Muradabadi, Josh Malihabadi, Baqar Mehdi, Nida Fazli; and filmmakers and actors including W.Z. Ahmed, B.R. Chopra, Protima Dasgputa, Rajkumar and Amjad Khan anchors of the literary and cinematic worlds through which he moved. Akhtarul Iman's recollections, though selective and episodic, reveal a private but restless and sharply observant mind animated as much by the socialist fervour of his times as by a stubborn devotion to craft and artistic integrity. Presented with translations of Iman's poems referenced in the text, In This Live Desolation brings into English a spare yet deeply felt self-portrait of an artist shaped by dispossession and upheaval, but never defeated by them.

Soft cover. Condición: New. What do India's cities eat when they wake up, and what do those first bites reveal about how we live? In First Bite, journalist and food-culture writer Priyadarshini Chatterjee travels through ten Indian cities—Kolkata, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kochi, Amritsar, Varanasi, Shillong, Bengaluru and Ahmed…abad—to explore breakfast as history, habit, and everyday necessity. From temple offerings and home kitchens to roadside stalls and century-old eateries, she follows the morning meal into lanes, markets, and workspaces, uncovering the rhythms that bring a city to life at dawn. Neither a recipe collection nor a list of must-eat addresses, First Bite instead uses breakfast as a lens to understand how cities function: who wakes early and why, who cooks, who eats out, and how foodways are shaped by labour, migration, caste, class, faith, colonialism, and capitalism. Drawing on archival sources, literature, and years of on-the-ground reporting, Chatterjee traces the evolution of India's morning meals, from ancient texts and ritual offerings to working-class sustenance and the rise of public eateries in urban India. Written with warmth, rigour, and a reporter's eye for detail, First Bite blends food history with cultural reportage. It is a book about ordinary meals and the extraordinary stories they carry, and about cities coming awake, one breakfast at a time.
