35% off

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. . .

Kafka on the Shore — Kafka on the Shore

₹300

An alternative cover for this ISBN can be found hereKafka on the Shore follows the fortunes of two remarkable characters. Kafka Tamura runs away from home at fifteen, under the shadow of his father's dark prophecy. The ageing Nakata, tracker of lost cats, who never recovered from a bizarre childhood affliction, finds his simple life suddenly turned upside down. Their parallel odysseys are enriched throughout by vivid accomplices and mesmerising dramas. Cats converse with people; fish tumble from the sky; a forest harbours soldiers apparently un-aged since WWII. There is a savage killing, but the identity of both victim and killer is a riddle.At once a classic tale of quest, Kafka on the Shore is also a bold exploration of mythic and contemporary taboos, of patricide, of mother-love, of sister-love. Above all it is a bewitching and wildly inventive novel from a master stylist.

THE BELL JAR BY SYLVIA PLATH — THE BELL JAR BY SYLVIA PLATH

₹220

To the person in the bell jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is a bad dream. In the hauntingly beautiful pages of The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath takes us on a gripping journey into the fragile psyche of Esther Greenwood. Set against the backdrop of 1950s America, this semiautobiographical novel explores the stifling expectations placed upon women and the suffocating grasp of societal norms. As Esther grapples with her ambitions, desires and mental health, she finds herself trapped in a metaphorical bell jar—an oppressive glass enclosure that isolates her from the world. Plath’s evocative prose and poignant portrayal of Esther’s descent into madness make The Bell Jar a timeless masterpiece that shines a searing light on the complexities of the human psyche and the unrelenting quest for self-identity.
