Fantastic Mr Fox Roald Dahl — Fantastic Mr Fox Roald Dahl

₹120 ~~₹240~~

50% off

In the tradition of The Adventures of Peter Rabbit, this is a "garden tale" of farmer versus vermin, or vice versa. The farmers in this case are a vaguely criminal team of three stooges: "Boggis and Bunce and Bean / One fat, one short, one lean. / These horrible crooks / So different in looks / Were nonetheless equally mean." Whatever their prowess as poultry farmers, within these pages their sole objective is the extermination of our hero--the noble, the clever, the Fantastic Mr. Fox. Our loyalties are defined from the start; after all, how could you cheer for a man named Bunce who eats his doughnuts stuffed with mashed goose livers? As one might expect, the farmers in this story come out smelling like ... well, what farmers occasionally do smell like.

Kafka on the Shore — Kafka on the Shore

₹350 ~~₹599~~

42% off

Alternate cover edition here.Kafka on the Shore, a tour de force of metaphysical reality, is powered by two remarkable characters: a teenage boy, Kafka Tamura, who runs away from home either to escape a gruesome oedipal prophecy or to search for his long-missing mother and sister; and an aging simpleton called Nakata, who never recovered from a wartime affliction and now is drawn toward Kafka for reasons that, like the most basic activities of daily life, he cannot fathom. Their odyssey, as mysterious to them as it is to us, is enriched throughout by vivid accomplices and mesmerizing events. Cats and people carry on conversations, a ghostlike pimp employs a Hegel-quoting prostitute, a forest harbors soldiers apparently unaged since World War II, and rainstorms of fish (and worse) fall from the sky. There is a brutal murder, with the identity of both victim and perpetrator a riddle—yet this, along with everything else, is eventually answered, just as the entwined destinies of Kafka and Nakata are gradually revealed, with one escaping his fate entirely and the other given a fresh start on his own.

₹350 ~~₹450~~

22% off

'Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.'A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the thirties. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much.To Kill a Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story, an anti-racist novel, a historical drama of the Great Depression and a sublime example of the Southern writing tradition.

Draupadi by Pratibha Ray — Draupadi by Pratibha Ray

₹165

द्रौपदी महाभारत ही नहीं, भारतीय जीवन तथा संस्कृति का एक अत्यन्त विलक्षण और महत्त्वपूर्ण चरित्र है-परन्तु साहित्य ने अब तक उसे प्रायः छुआ नहीं था। उपन्यास के रूप में इस रचना का एक विशिष्ट पक्ष यह भी है कि इसे एक महिला ने उठाया और वाणी दी है, जिस कारण वे इसके साथ न्याय करने में पूर्ण सफल हुई हैं। डा. प्रतिभा राय उड़िया की अग्रणी लेखिका हैं जिनके अनेक उपन्यास प्रकाशित होकर लोकप्रिय हो चुके हैं। उन पर अनेक पुरस्कार मिले हैं, फिल्में बनी हैं तथा कई कृतियां हिन्दी में भी सामने आ चुकी हैं। कृष्ण समर्पित तथा पांच पांडवों की ब्याही द्रौपदी का जीवन अनेक दिशाओं में विभक्त है, फिर भी उसका व्यक्तित्व बँटता नहीं, टूटता नहीं, वह एक ऐसी इकाई के रूप में निरन्तर जीती है जो तत्कालीन घटनाचक्र को अनेक विशिष्ट आयाम देने में समर्थ है। नारी-मन की वास्तविक पीड़ा, सुख-दुःख और व्यक्तिगत अन्तर्संबंधों की जटिलता को गहराई से पकड़ पाना, इस उपन्यास की विशेषता है।

The Body Artist by Don Delillo — The Body Artist by Don Delillo

₹250

A sad, beautiful novel, The Body Artist is an elliptical meditiation on the mysteries of love, life and time.‘A novel that is both slight and profound, a distilled meditation on perception and loss, and a poised, individual ghost story for the twenty-first century’ ObserverThe Body Artist begins with normality: breakfast between a married couple, Lauren and Rey, in their ramshackle rented house on the New England coast. Recording their delicate, intimate, half-complete thoughts and words, DeLillo proves himself a stunningly unsentimental observer of our idiosyncratic relationships. But after breakfast, Rey makes a decision that leaves Lauren utterly alone, or seems to.As Lauren, the body artist of the title, becomes strangely detached from herself and the temporal world, the novel becomes an exploration of a highly abnormal grieving process; a fascinating exposé of ‘who we are when we are not rehearsing who we are’; and a rarefied study of trauma and creativity, absence and presence, isolation and communion.‘A masterly portrait of the impact of death on those who live’ Evening Standard

A Doll's House and Other Plays — A Doll's House and Other Plays

₹200

Four of Ibsen's most important plays in superb modern translations, part of the new Penguin Ibsen series.With her assertion that she is 'first and foremost a human being', Nora Helmer sent shockwaves throughout Europe when she appeared in Ibsen's greatest and most famous play, A Doll's House. Depicting one woman's struggle to be treated as a rational human being, and not merely a wife, mother or fragile doll, the play changed the course of theatrical history and sparked debates worldwide about the roles of men and women in society. Ibsen's follow-up Ghosts was no less radical, with its unrelenting investigation into religious hypocrisy, family secrets and sexual double-dealing. These two masterpieces are accompanied here by The Pillars of the Community and An Enemy of the People, both set in Norwegian coastal towns and exploring the tensions and dark compromises at the heart of society.The new Penguin series of Ibsen's major plays offer the best available editions in English, under the general editorship of Tore Rem. The plays have been freshly translated by the best modern translators and are based on the recently published, definitive Norwegian edition of Ibsen's works. They all include new introductions and editorial apparatus by leading scholars.
