The Alchemist

The Alchemist

₹100

Like the one-time bestseller Jonathan Livingston Seagull, The Alchemist presents a simple fable, based on simple truths and places it in a highly unique situation. And though we may sniff a bestselling formula, it is certainly not a new one: even the ancient tribal storytellers knew that this is the most successful method of entertaining an audience while slipping in a lesson or two. Brazilian storyteller Paulo Coehlo introduces Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who one night dreams of a distant treasure in the Egyptian pyramids. And so he's off: leaving Spain to literally follow his dream. Along the way he meets many spiritual messengers, who come in unassuming forms such as a camel driver and a well-read Englishman. In one of the Englishman's books, Santiago first learns about the alchemists--men who believed that if a metal were heated for many years, it would free itself of all its individual properties, and what was left would be the "Soul of the World." Of course he does eventually meet an alchemist, and the ensuing student-teacher relationship clarifies much of the boy's misguided agenda, while also emboldening him to stay true to his dreams. "My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy confides to the alchemist one night as they look up at a moonless night. "Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself," the alchemist replies. "And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity." --Gail Hudson

Kautilya The Arthashastra

Kautilya The Arthashastra

₹250

The Arthashastra is an ancient Indian treatise on statecraft, economic policy and military strategy, written in Sanskrit. It identifies its author by the names 'Kauṭilya' and 'Vishnugupta', both names that are traditionally identified with Chanakya (c. 350–283 BC), who was a scholar at Takshashila and the teacher and guardian of Emperor Chandragupta Maurya, founder of the Mauryan Empire. The text was influential until the 12th century, when it disappeared. It was rediscovered in 1904 by R. Shamasastry, who published it in 1909. The first English translation was published in 1915.Roger Boesche describes the Arthaśāstra as "a book of political realism, a book analysing how the political world does work and not very often stating how it ought to work, a book that frequently discloses to a king what calculating and sometimes brutal measures he must carry out to preserve the state and the common good."Centrally, Arthaśāstra argues how in an autocracy an efficient and solid economy can be managed. It discusses the ethics of economics and the duties and obligations of a king. The scope of Arthaśāstra is, however, far wider than statecraft, and it offers an outline of the entire legal and bureaucratic framework for administering a kingdom, with a wealth of descriptive cultural detail on topics such as mineralogy, mining and metals, agriculture, animal husbandry, medicine and the use of wildlife. The Arthaśāstra also focuses on issues of welfare (for instance, redistribution of wealth during a famine) and the collective ethics that hold a society together.

Frankenstein BA 4th Sem

Frankenstein BA 4th Sem

₹250

First published in 1818, reprinted in 1823, revised and reissued in 1831, Frankenstein has since seen a series of re-workings. Read variously as a cautionary fable against faustian ambition, a feminist critique of "male" science/Romanticism, an allegorization of class relations or an ambivalent exploration of human psyche, Frankenstein invites (re)interpretation.This critical edition, based on 1818 text, places novel within its multiple intermeshed histories. The editor's introduction frames text in terms of biographical echoes, intellectual debates and intertextual refrerences while considering the politics of its composition, revision, and reception. Besides contemporary reviews and generic debates, this edition also carries two shorter fictions that complement Frankenstein- Marry Shalley's "The Mortal Immortal" and John Polidori's "The Vampyre".Maya Joshi teaches English at Lady Shriram College, Delhi University.

Moll Flanders BA 4th Sem

Moll Flanders BA 4th Sem

₹275

“To give the history of a wicked life repented of, necessarily requires that the wicked part should be make as wicked as the real history of it will bear, to illustrate and give a beauty to the penitent part.”Moll Flanders is a novel by Daniel Defoe, written in the picaresque style, first published in 1722. Purporting to be the true account of the life of the eponymous Moll, the novel is based partially on the life of Moll King, a London criminal whom Defoe met while visiting Newgate Prison.Born and abandoned in Newgate Prison, Moll is forced to make her own way in 17th-century England. The lady’s irreverent, boisterous account of her life is delivered with engaging humour and candour, as she details her escapades which include husband-hunting, bigamy, prostitution and pick-pocketing. Without doubt one of the most memorable female narrators in the history of the English novel, Moll’s sensational tale ultimately keeps us guessing as to her final nature; true penitent or successful hustler, we can't help rooting for her, regardless.
