One hundred years of solitude — One hundred years of solitude

₹369

Alternate cover editions exists here and here.Winner of the 1982 Nobel Prize for LiteratureOne of the 20th century's enduring works, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a widely beloved and acclaimed novel known throughout the world, and the ultimate achievement in a Nobel Prize winning career.The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendía family. It is a rich and brilliant chronicle of life and death, and the tragicomedy of humankind. In the noble, ridiculous, beautiful, and tawdry story of the Buendía family, one sees all of humanity, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of Latin America.Love and lust, war and revolution, riches and poverty, youth and senility -- the variety of life, the endlessness of death, the search for peace and truth -- these universal themes dominate the novel. Whether he is describing an affair of passion or the voracity of capitalism and the corruption of government, Gabriel García Márquez always writes with the simplicity, ease, and purity that are the mark of a master.Alternately reverential and comical, One Hundred Years of Solitude weaves the political, personal, and spiritual to bring a new consciousness to storytelling. Translated into dozens of languages, this stunning work is no less than an accounting of the history of the human race.

Deewar me ek khidaki rehati thi — Deewar me ek khidaki rehati thi

₹350

भाषा पर तो विनोद कुमार शुक्ल का अपने ढंग का अधिकार है ही-प्रेमचंद और जैनेंद्र के बाद इतनी सादा, रोज़मर्रा भाषा में शायद ही किसी और में अभिव्यक्ति की ऐसी क्षमता हो– लेकिन इस उपन्यास में उन्होंने संभाषण की कई भाषाएँ और शैलियाँ ईजाद की हैं–एक वह जिसमें रघुवर प्रसाद लोगों से बोलते हैं, दूसरी वह जिसमें वे ख़ुद से बोलते हैं, तीसरी वह जिसमें रघुवर प्रसाद और सोनसी अपने एकांत में बोलते हैं और चौथी वह जिसमें रघुवर प्रसाद परिवार आपस में बात करता है जिसमें हल्की-सी आंचलिकता मिली हुई है, और पाँचवीं वह जिसमें विभागाध्यक्ष और पाचार्य बोलते हैं–सबसे ‘ठेठ’ वही है। एक और अद्भुत भाषा वह है जिसमें बोलने वाला और सुननेवाला बारी-बारी कहते कुछ हैं और सुनते कुछ और हैं और यह एक और ही अर्थबाहुल्य स्निग्धता को जन्म देता है।-विष्णु खरे

The immortals of meluha — The immortals of meluha

₹250

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 Handmaid's Tale is both a superlative exercise in science fiction and a profoundly felt moral story'- ANGELA CARTERThe Republic of Gilead offers Offred only one option: to breed. If she deviates, she will, like all dissenters, be hanged at the wall or sent out to die slowly of radiation sickness. But even a repressive state cannot obliterate desire — neither Offred's nor that of the two men on which her future hangs.Brilliantly conceived and executed, this powerful evocation of twenty-first-century America gives full rein to Margaret Atwood's devastating irony, wit and astute perception.
