The authors have covered an area which include not only Varanasi District but Chandoli and Bhadoi two new districts that were carved out of the erstwhile greater Varanasi District. All the plants mentioned have a direct use in Ayurveda and are found both as purposely cultivated plants as well as wild plants often mistaken for weeds by those ignorant of their true use. Both authors closely associated with Banaras Hindu University have prepared this volume to serve not only the academic community but the general public also with a view to saving many of these rare and medicinally useful plants. 218 pp. …

Soft cover. Condition: New. One day before he is assassinated, Gandhi steps out of Birla House into newly independent Delhi, wanting his approaching death to be a final, redemptive message; Sasi begins to clean up the crime scene after her lover leaves to arrange for the disposal of her husband's body, but suddenly, the wall clock begins to tick backwards, setting off a dramatic reversal of events; resurrected from death by her brother, Nallathangaal roams the forests with her seven children for decades until the love of a carousel man frees her from the curse; Cheenu returns to his beloved wife to find that the years of warped urges in jail have changed him irrevocably. Farewell, Mahatma brings together ten tales that introduce us to the brilliance and distinctiveness of Devibharathi's imagination and craft. These stories explore the dark and dichotomous realities of our history and present, our social and individual lives, deeply probing themes such as freedom, need, desire and the volatile spaces between man and woman. At once unnerving and illuminating, these are short stories at their best.…

Soft cover. Condition: New. When the nameless protagonist of The Solitude of a Shadow unexpectedly encounters Karunakaran after nearly three decades, he is overwhelmed by a hitherto-dormant urge to wreak vengeance upon this man who had molested his sister and abused him all those years ago. Devibharathi's novel - his first to be translated into English describes with painful clarity the poverty and isolation of obsession, while life flourishes all around the protagonist. Written in his trademark sharp, clear-eyed style, it is also an astutely observed narrative of our society and its overlapping hierarchies of caste, wealth and power. Superbly translated by N. Kalyan Raman, The Solitude of a Shadow shows us how treacherous and illusory the hunger for revenge can become - with unavoidable tragic consequences. …

Soft cover. Condition: New. A magical storyteller -- SHASHI DESHPANDE 'Doesn't this life strike you as shameful?' 'I am an artist. That's the only thing that matters to me.' Kasturi and Lakshmi are born into the devadasi clan. While Kasturi thinks of nothing other than the joy she experiences when she's dancing before the deity in the temple, Lakshmi is troubled by the treatment dasis receive from society, the secretive manner of her father's visits to their house, and his reluctance to acknowledge her publicly as his daughter. To the surprise of those around her, instead of learning to dance, a frustrated and angry Lakshmi insists on getting an education, and becomes a doctor. As their paths diverge, the differences in their opinions cause a rift in Kasturi and Lakshmi's relationship. But when tragedy strikes, Kasturi's faith in tradition is shaken and she finds herself turning to Lakshmi once again. Set against the rising clamour for India's independence, Breaking Free is a nuanced and thought-provoking story of three generations of women and the effect history and memory--and secrets--have on their lives. Brilliantly translated by N. Kalyan Raman, it brings Vaasanthi's Tamil masterpiece to an entirely new readership. Plunges the reader into the varied and turbulent world of devadasis, bringing the complexities of their history to life -- GITANJALI KOLANAD A powerful story, told with clarity and insight, about some of the young girls who suffered and the few who fought back -- KAVERY NAMBISAN.…
