In Widows, Wives and other Heroines, Premchand focuses on the position and role of women, as well as on other socially relevant issues such as middle-class values and aspirations, poverty and the clash between democratic stirrings and a strongly hierarchical society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe novel Nirmala, translated by Alok Rai, is a classic text of the woman s victim.

This omnibus edition brings together three of his novels written over four decades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e TRAIN TO PAKISTAN, Khushwant Singh's first novel, published in 12954, brought him instant fame.  A powerful and moving account of the tragedy of Partition, set in the small Indian frontier village of Mano Majra, it is also the touching love story of a Sikh dacoit and a Muslim girl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I SHALL NOT HEAR THE NIGHTINGALE, his second novel, deals with the conflict in a prosperous Sikh family living in Punjab in the mid 1940s.  The father is a magistrate who works for the British, while the son dreams of glory as the leader of a terrorist group rebelling against foreign rule.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The best-selling DELHI, a vast, erotic, irreverent magnum opus centered on the Indian capital, is the third book in this anthology.  The Principal narrator of the saga, which extends over six hundred years, is an aging reprobate who loves Delhi as much as he does the hijda whore Bhagmati.  As he travels through time, space and history to 'discover' his beloved city, we find it transformed and immortalized in our minds for ever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e COMMENTS:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Khushwant Singh's phenomenal success as a writer springs from a most unwriterly virtue: he writes for the reader, not for himself.  He has the knack of seeming to speak directly to the reader, shrugging himself out of the confines of the printed page.

We know that the earth is round, but our perception shows it as flat. We place our feet on the ground as though it was flat and this does not cancel the knowledge that the earth is round. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe continue with our perceptions but we need no longer escalate the perception of illusions into an emotional drama of sensations that dictates our thinking.

When I \"see\", then I recognize the unique Oneness, which runs through everything in this creation however intricate or simple the design. The example to illustrate this is the pot and Space \"Ghatakasa is Chidakasa\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe space in the pot is the same as the Space everywhere.

We next meet Margayya, in ‘The Financial Expert’, who sits under a banyan tree and gives advice on methods of extracting loans from the local cooperative bank.  In ‘The Painter of Signs’, we encounter the unlikely love story of Raman, the local signboard painter, and Daisy, a birth-control propagandist who is on a visit to Malgudi.

Some stories and novels as also the poems point to the utter futility of the division of the two communities on religious basis, and the violence that ensued in the wake of the division.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSINDHI LITERATURE\u003cbr\u003eSindhi Literature after Independence by Param Abichandani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePOETRY\u003cbr\u003eNarayan Shyam\u003cbr\u003eArjan Shad\u003cbr\u003eArjan Hasid\u003cbr\u003eHarish Vaswani\u003cbr\u003eM Kamal\u003cbr\u003eAnand Khemani\u003cbr\u003eVasdev Mohi\u003cbr\u003eMohan Kalpana\u003cbr\u003eShyam Jaisinghani\u003cbr\u003ePrem Prakash\u003cbr\u003eHarikant Jethwani\u003cbr\u003eMahesh Nenwani\u003cbr\u003eAssan Vaswani\u003cbr\u003eVimmi Sadarangani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSHORT STORY\u003cbr\u003eSundri Uttamchandani - This City\u003cbr\u003eNand Lal - Co-Sufferers\u003cbr\u003eK S Balani - Within a Wooden Mould\u003cbr\u003eVishnu Bhatia - A Coward\u003cbr\u003eHarish Vaswani - The Continuity\u003cbr\u003eShyam Jaisinghani - Crawling Time\u003cbr\u003eMohan Kalpana - The Crisis\u003cbr\u003eSatish Rohra - The Relationship\u003cbr\u003eGuno Samtaney - The Ruins\u003cbr\u003eIshwar Chander - Sometimes\u003cbr\u003eLal Pushp - Time of Ennui\u003cbr\u003eHaro Shewkani - Portrait of a Father\u003cbr\u003eRita Shahani - Exasperation\u003cbr\u003eBrij Mohan - The Tail\u003cbr\u003eHarikant Jethwani - The Cell\u003cbr\u003eGope Kamal - Search for Blood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePLAYS\u003cbr\u003eMehraj Gurnani - Only a few Symptoms\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEXCERPTS FROM ANOVEL\u003cbr\u003eAnand Khemani - Lust of a Man\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEXCERPTS FROM AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY\u003cbr\u003eMohan Kapana - Hunger, Love and Literature\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINTERVIEW\u003cbr\u003eParam Abichandani - A Few Leisurely Moments with Narayan Shyam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLITERARY CRITICISM\u003cbr\u003eSatish Rohra - Factual Truth and Created Truth\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Eminent Contributors \/ Sahitya Akademi \/ Paperback","offer_id":40782858322089,"sku":"12144","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/12144.jpg?v=1625494878"},{"product_id":"9614-devdas-and-other-stories","title":"Devdas and Other Stories","description":"\u003cb\u003e Shipping Note: This item usually arrives at your doorstep in 10-15 days\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Sarat Chandra Chatterjee\u003cbr\u003eV S Naravane\/\u003cbr\u003eTranslator: V S Naravane\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Roli Books\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2002\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePages: 224\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): 8174360301\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume contains translations of some of the best stories by Sarat Chandra Chatterji, one of the greatest figures in modern Indian literature.

We decided, for this reason, not to approach authors who have published more than two books, or hose who have received exceptional notice with their debut works.

Creative Unity (1922), acclaimed as the finest and wisest of Tagore’s collected essays in English, reveals some of his fundamental tenets of art and aesthetics, of life and religion and of the religion of the poet. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTagore was the first modern Bengali short storywriter.

Gora, with its epic dimensions and the broad canvas of the social, cultural, religious and political life of the nineteenth century urban middle class Bengal, was a landmark in the history of the Bengali novel.

Out of this rebellious streak, and fuelled by the burning restlessness of his imagination, he produced a powerful body of work that continues to challenge complacency and demand attention. More than half a century after his death at the age of forty-three in Lahore, he remains anathema to the establishment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSaadat Hasan Manto wanted to be remembered as the greatest short-story writer ever; as his epitaph would have it, his only competitor is God. Indeed, he is best known for his Partition stories, where he lays bare the absurdity of the religious divide that would forever unhinge the lives of two nations. No other writer has been able to capture the devastation of Partition as Manto has. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut, as this exhaustive anthology shows, Manto’s best work sweeps across genres and states of mind. The short stories shock and seduce; the sketches wring out the sharp brevity of truth; the biographical portraits entice with their candour; the letters to Uncle Sam drip with sarcasm; while the lone play smolders with desire that finds fulfillment in death. Manto also gives us his take on the Bombay film world of his time, a world that both amused and fascinated him and which he recalled with nostalgia in his last years. This collection also carries intimate observations about Manto by his family and friends. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKhalid Hasan’s brilliant translation brings to English Manto’s bite, his lyricism and the authenticity of his voice, making Bitter Fruit the perfect treasury for long-time fans of Manto and first-time readers alike. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMANTO’S PRAYER\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDear God, master of the universe, compassionate and merciful: we who are steeped in sin, kneel in supplication before your throne and beseech you to recall from this world Saadat Hasan Manto, son of Ghulam Hasan Manto, who was a man of great piety. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTake him away, Lord, for he runs away from fragrance and chases after filth. He hates the bright sun, preferring dark labyrinths. He has nothing but contempt for modesty but is fascinated by the naked and the shameless. He hates sweetness, but will give his life to taste bitter fruit. He will not so much as look at housewives but is in seventh heaven in the company of whores. He will not go near running waters, but loves to wade through filth. Where others weep, he laughs; and where others laugh, he weeps. Faces blackened by evil, he loves to wash with tender care to make visible their real features. \u003cbr\u003eHe never thinks about you but follows Satan everywhere, the same fallen angel who once disobeyed you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eSHORT STORIES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Wet Afternoon\u003cbr\u003eToba Tek Singh\u003cbr\u003eColder Than Ice\u003cbr\u003eThe Assignment\u003cbr\u003eMozail\u003cbr\u003eThe Return\u003cbr\u003eA Believer’s Version\u003cbr\u003eA Woman’s Life\u003cbr\u003ePerin\u003cbr\u003eOdour\u003cbr\u003eKingdom’s End\u003cbr\u003eBribing the Almighty\u003cbr\u003eThe Seven Magic Flowers\u003cbr\u003eUpstairs Downstairs\u003cbr\u003eA Man of God\u003cbr\u003eThe Gift\u003cbr\u003eThe Room with the Bright Light\u003cbr\u003eSiraj\u003cbr\u003eAn Old-Fashioned Man\u003cbr\u003eThe Angel\u003cbr\u003eBy the Roadside\u003cbr\u003eThe Wild Cactus\u003cbr\u003eIt Happened in 1919\u003cbr\u003eThe Price of Freedom\u003cbr\u003eThe Woman in the Red Raincoat\u003cbr\u003eThe Dutiful Daughter\u003cbr\u003eThree Simple Statements\u003cbr\u003eThe Dog of Titwal\u003cbr\u003eThe Last Salute\u003cbr\u003eThe New Constitution\u003cbr\u003eA Tale of 1947\u003cbr\u003eThe Great Divide\u003cbr\u003eFree for All\u003cbr\u003eThe Girl from Delhi\u003cbr\u003eBitter Harvest\u003cbr\u003eA Strange Tale\u003cbr\u003eA Question of Honour\u003cbr\u003eDoing God’s Work\u003cbr\u003eKhushia\u003cbr\u003eA Woman for All Seasons\u003cbr\u003eBabu Gopi Nath\u003cbr\u003eMummy\u003cbr\u003eThe Patch\u003cbr\u003eThe Supplication\u003cbr\u003eGreen Sandals\u003cbr\u003eThe Blouse\u003cbr\u003eOn the Balcony\u003cbr\u003eHarnam Kaur\u003cbr\u003eThe Man Who Liked to Lose\u003cbr\u003eNight Whispers\u003cbr\u003eSonaral\u003cbr\u003e\t\u003cbr\u003eDRAMA\u003cbr\u003eIn This Vortex\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSKETCHES\u003cbr\u003eA Sweet Moment\u003cbr\u003eWages\u003cbr\u003eCooperation\u003cbr\u003eDivision\u003cbr\u003eProper Use\u003cbr\u003eThe Benefits of Ignorance\u003cbr\u003eFor Necessary Action\u003cbr\u003eMiracle Man\u003cbr\u003eJelly\u003cbr\u003eInvitation to Action\u003cbr\u003ePathanistan\u003cbr\u003eWarning\u003cbr\u003ePermanent Vacation\u003cbr\u003eThe Garland\u003cbr\u003eOut of Consideration\u003cbr\u003eDue Supervision\u003cbr\u003eDetermination\u003cbr\u003eModesty\u003cbr\u003eThe Fool\u003cbr\u003eBestiality\u003cbr\u003eLosing Proposition\u003cbr\u003eRitualistic Difference\u003cbr\u003eMishtake\u003cbr\u003eTidiness\u003cbr\u003eGod Is Great\u003cbr\u003eSocialism\u003cbr\u003eDouble Cross\u003cbr\u003eTesting Time\u003cbr\u003eLuck\u003cbr\u003eUngrateful Lot\u003cbr\u003ePrecautionary Arrangement\u003cbr\u003eMistake Removed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePORTRAITS\u003cbr\u003eJinnah Sahib\u003cbr\u003eBari Alig: The Armchair Revolutionary\u003cbr\u003eAshok Kumar: the Evergreen Hero\u003cbr\u003eV.H.

All the Feluda stories that Ray wrote are now available together in a two-volume omnibus edition.  For the first time, the stories are arranged in chronological order of composition.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis second volume shows Feluda at the peak of his sleuthing career.  He is at his inimitable best as he tracks down the last known letter of Napoleon, or investigates a sinister crime that has to do with Tintoretto's painting of Jesus.  In The Case of Apsara Theatre, Feluda foils the insidious plans of a clever murderer, and in The House of Death, he investigates the theft of a priceless manuscript.  Maganlal Meghraj, Feluda's arch-enemy, reappears in The Criminals of Kathmandu as the kingpin in a case involving spurious drugs, and again in The Mystery of the Pink Pearl, but Feluda is equal to the challenge.  Also included here are the two final Feluda cases, Robertson's Ruby and The Magical Mystery, both of which were published posthumously.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBetween 1965 and 1992, Satyajit Ray wrote a total of thirty-five Feluda stories, featuring the master sleuth Pradosh C Mitter, his  assistant Topshe, and Lalmohan Babu alias Jatayu, a bumbling writer of crime fiction.  The locales range from Gangtok and Varanasi to Jaisalmer and Ellora, apart from Feluda's home town of Calcutta.  The plots involve murder, intrigue and adventure, narrated in a racy, humorous style.  All of this makes for enormously entertaining fare - and it is no wonder that each Feluda book has been a best-seller.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the definitive Feluda collection - a treasury that all fans of mystery writing will want to possess.
