Alchemist (paulo coelho) — Alchemist (paulo coelho)

₹199 ~~₹399~~

50% off

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

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.

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
