This edition positions the play in the socio-cultural context of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Macbeth is analysed here in terms of the changing political scenario that influenced attitudes and perspectives of the time. The reader will find this book useful for its range of perspectives that are enlightening and thought-provoking. The Introduction provides a brief description of Shakespeare's life in addition to conflicting views on theatre activity and censorship in the period. Relevant photographs of sketches and paintings, drawings of the Globe theatre and its later reconstructions will enable the reader to reflect on the performance aspects of the play and realize the importance of theatre to the Renaissance world. The essays in this volume have been divided into two broad sections. The first one offers source material from the Elizabethan and Jacobean period to give an overview of the socio-cultural discussions that occupied centre-stage at the time. These are meant to encourage engagement with the text and help her/him respond from their own positions in the twenty-first century.

DEFENSES OF CLAY:THE BOOK OF JOB — DEFENSES OF CLAY:THE BOOK OF JOB

₹100

This edition of The Book of Job provides a fully annotated text in the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible. The King James Version (KJV) is included for comparison and to enable the modern reader to fully appreciate the poetical quality that is often lost in the NIV. Joban ethics anticipate Jesus' 'Sermon on the Mount' and an extract (Matthew 5:1-48) is appended, as a ready reference. The Introduction places the book in the context of ancient wisdom literature along with other books found in the Bible such as Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. Apart from discussing the linguistic and generic features, the Introduction also deals with the larger philosophical questions and themes Job raises such as the question of suffering and the limits of human wisdom. The critical essays and background readings included in this edition present several ways in which the text has been interpreted over the centuries, ranging from the traditional, exegetical approaches to twentieth century perspectives.

This is Oscar Wilde's tale of the American family moved into a British mansion, Canterville Chase, much to the annoyance its tired ghost. The family -- which refuses to believe in him -- is in Wilde's way a commentary on the British nobility of the day -- and on the Americans, too. The tale, like many of Wilde's, is rich with allusion, but ends as sentimental romance. . .

Shiva Trilogy by Amish — Shiva Trilogy by Amish

₹300

1900 BC. In what modern Indians mistakenly call the Indus Valley Civilisation. The inhabitants of that period called it the land of Meluha a near perfect empire created many centuries earlier by Lord Ram, one of the greatest monarchs that ever lived. This once proud empire and its Suryavanshi rulers face severe perils as its primary river, the revered Saraswati, is slowly drying to extinction. They also face 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 ostracised 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, when it appears that your enemies have triumphed, a hero will emerge. Is the rough-hewn Tibetan immigrant Shiva, really that hero? And does he want to be that hero at all? Drawn suddenly to his destiny, by duty as well as by love, will Shiva lead the Suryavanshi vengeance and destroy evil?

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
