Sita By Amish Tripathi ( Part 2)
ભારતના સૌથી લોકપ્રિય યુવા લેખક અમીશ ત્રિપાઠીની ‘રામચંદ્ર’ સીરીઝનું બીજું પુસ્તક એટલે "સીતા" હવે ઉપલબ્ધ છે... આ પુસ્તકમાં ઈ.સ. પૂર્વે ૩૪૦૦નાં ભારતની કાલ્પનિક કથા. આ સમયે ગરીબી અને શોષણથી ખદબદી રહેલાં ભારતની પ્રજા પોતાના શાસકોને ધિક્કારે છે. સમગ્ર સમાજ અરાજકતાને આરે ઉભો છે. લંકાનો રાજા રાવણ વધુ ને વધુ તાકાતવાન બનતો જાય છે અને દુર્દેવી સપ્ત સિંધુ ફરતે તેની ભીંસ વધતી જાય છે. ભારતના તે સમયના બે શક્તિશાળી કબીલાઓ આ પરિસ્થિતિમાંથી પ્રજાને ઉગારી શકે એવા તારણહારની શોધ આદરે છે. છેવટે ખેતરમાં ત્યજાયેલી એક બાળકી મળી આવે છે. લોહીતરસ્યા વરુઓના ટોળાથી એક ગીધ તેનું રક્ષણ કરી રહ્યું હતું. કારણ કે એ કોઈ સામાન્ય બાળકી નથી. એ છે સીતા.
Raam by Amish Tripathi (Part 1)
અયોધ્યા વિભાજનોથી નબળું પડી ગયું છે. એક ભયંકર યુદ્ધની કિંમત તે ચૂકવી રહ્યું છે. નુકસાન બહુ મોટું થયું છે. લંકાના રાક્ષસ રાજા પરાજિતો પર પોતાનું સામ્રાજ્ય નથી સ્થાપતા. તેના બદલે તે ત્યાં પોતાનો વેપાર સ્થાપી દે છે. આખા સામ્રાજ્યમાંથી ધન ચૂસી લેવામાં આવે છે. સપ્તાસીન્ધુની પ્રજા ગરીબી, હતાશા ને દુરાચારણમાં ગરકાવ થઇ ગઈ છે. તે પ્રજા એક એવા નાયક માટે વલખે છે કે જે તેમને આ કળણમાંથી બહાર ખેંચી કાઢે. તેમને ક્યાં જાણ છે કે એવો એક નાયક તેમની વચ્ચે જ રહેલો છે જેને તે બધા લોકો જાણે છે. એક સંતપ્ત અને દેશનિકાલ પામેલો રાજકુમાર. એવો રાજકુમાર જેનો તેમણે વિરોધ કર્યો હતો. એ રાજકુમાર કે જેનું નામ હતું રામ. શું લોકોએ તેમના પર લગાવેલા લાંચનને રામ દૂર કરી શકશે? શું સીતા માટેના તેમના પ્રેમને કારણે તે આ સંઘર્ષમાંથી પાર ઉતરશે?
Midnights Children
Saleem Sinai is born at the stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947, the very moment of India’s independence. Greeted by fireworks displays, cheering crowds, and Prime Minister Nehru himself, Saleem grows up to learn the ominous consequences of this coincidence. His every act is mirrored and magnified in events that sway the course of national affairs; his health and well-being are inextricably bound to those of his nation; his life is inseparable, at times indistinguishable, from the history of his country. Perhaps most remarkable are the telepathic powers linking him with India’s 1,000 other “midnight’s children,” all born in that initial hour and endowed with magical gifts. This novel is at once a fascinating family saga and an astonishing evocation of a vast land and its people–a brilliant incarnation of the universal human comedy. Twenty-five years after its publication, Midnight’ s Children stands apart as both an epochal work of fiction and a brilliant performance by one of the great literary voices of our time.
The Hidden Hindu Book 1
Prithvi, a twenty-one-year-old, is searching for a mysterious middle-aged aghori (Shiva devotee), Om Shastri, who was traced more than 200 years ago before he was captured and transported to a high-tech facility on an isolated Indian island. When the aghori was drugged and hypnotized for interrogation by a team of specialists, he claimed to have witnessed all four yugas (the epochs in Hinduism) and even participated in both Ramayana and Mahabharata. Om's revelations of his incredible past that defied the nature of mortality left everyone baffled. The team also discovers that Om had been in search of the other immortals from every yuga. These bizarre secrets could shake up the ancient beliefs of the present and alter the course of the future. So who is Om Shastri? Why was he captured? Board the boat of Om Shastri's secrets, Prithvi's pursuit and adventures of other enigmatic immortals of Hindu mythology in this exciting and revealing journey.

The immortals of Meluha
Called “archetypal and stirring” by Deepak Chopra, The Immortals of Meluha heralds an exciting new wave of fantasy writing inspired by the ancient civilizations of the East. Tripathi devoted years to the research of Hindu mythological stories and history, and discussions with his family about the destiny of the human body, mind and soul to create this sweeping and fascinating adaptation of ancient Hindu mythology for modern fantasy readers. 1900 BC in what modern Indians call the Indus Valley Civilization and the inhabitants called the land of Meluha: a near-perfect empire created many centuries earlier by Lord Ram—one of the greatest monarchs that ever lived—faces peril as its primary river, the Saraswati, is slowly drying to exctinction. The Suryavanshi rulers are challenged with devastating terrorist attacks from the east, the land of the Chandravanshis. To make matters worse, the Chandravanshis appear to have allied with the Nagas, an ostracized and sinister race of deformed humans with astonishing martial skills. The only hope for the Suryavanshis is an ancient legend: When evil reaches epic proportions, when all seems lost, a hero will emerge. Is the unexpected, rough-hewn Tibetan immigrant Shiva that hero? Drawn suddenly to his destiny, duty, and by love, Shiva will attempt to move mountains and lead the Suryavanshi to destroy evil.

The Alchemist by Pablo Coelho
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
ATIGER FOR MALGUDI
R. K. Narayan's magnificent new novel is about a tiger possessed of the soul of an enlightened human being who tells us the story of his life. Raja leaves his home in the Mempi hills only to find he is captured and made to perform in a circus and on a film set. Eventually he escapes, only to be recaptured - but this time voluntarily - by a guru. The two of them leave Malgudi and return to the hills where they pass their days in sweet philosophical discourse until old age overtakes Raja and he is forced to give up his freedom for ever. A haunting tale, A Tiger For Malgudi uniquely combines the elusive timeless quality of Hindu legend with the comic vision of Narayan's earlier Malgudi novels. Everyone, young and old, will enjoy the very simplicity of this compelling fable, but some will want to explore with Raja the pathway to true enlightenment.
