The alchemist

The alchemist

₹160

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

Mahabharatha K.S

₹1300

Long ago, the Earth witnessed a catastrophic battle. It was a time when the Gods walked the world and mankind knew secrets they have long since forgotten. In such a time, there were two half-brothers named Pandu and Dhritarashtra. They were the heirs of the Kuru dynasty, the mighty kingdom fathered by the legendary Bharata, son of Shakuntala and Dushyanta. However, neither were fit to rule. Dhritarashtra was born blind, and Pandu had an illness which doomed him to die were he to ever engage in sexual intercourse. Dhritarashtra marries Gandhari, who bears him one hundred sons, the hundred Kauravas. Pandu marries Kunti, the adopted daughter of King Kuntibhoja, and Madri. Kunti s miraculous ability to summon Gods to grant her children yields Pandu five heirs, the Pandavas. Although the vast empire of Bharata had to be equally divided between the cousins, the Kauravas greed knew no end. Soon, this very greed engulfs both families in a battle that immortalized their names in legends and songs. Attributed to the Sage Veda Vyasa, the Mahabharata is one of the two great Epics of India, and this English translation retells the story for a new generation.

41% off

This collection, unique to the Modern Library, gathers seven of Dostoevsky's key works and shows him to be equally adept at the short story as with the novel. Exploring many of the same themes as in his longer works, these small masterpieces move from the tender and romantic White Nights, an archetypal nineteenth-century morality tale of pathos and loss, to the famous Notes from the Underground, a story of guilt, ineffectiveness, and uncompromising cynicism, and the first major work of existential literature. Among Dostoevsky's prototypical characters is Yemelyan in The Honest Thief, whose tragedy turns on an inability to resist crime. Presented in chronological order, in David Magarshack's celebrated translation, this is the definitive edition of Dostoevsky's best stories.

The action of She Stoops to Conquer (1773) is largely confined to a night and a day in Squire Hardcastle's somewhat dilapidated country house: Young Marlow, on his way there to meet the bride his father has chosen for him, loses his way and arrives at the house assuming it is an inn. The prospect of meeting the genteel Miss Hardcastle terrifies the diffident youngster; but the serving-girl Kate - in fact, Miss Hardcastle, who chooses not to clarify the misunderstanding - immediately catches his fancy and cannot complain of a lack of ardour in her well-born suitor. After a series of trifling confusions and the inevitable eavesdropping-from-behind-a-screen, all is resolved so pleasingly that the comedy has been a favourite with amateur and professional companies and their audiences for over 230 years.
