Book excerpt: In the village of Takht Hazara, the musically gifted Deedho Ranjha struggles against family and society. He rejects the pursuit of wealth and power as the measure of a man's worth. In distant Jhang, the spirited Heer Syal is an accomplished warrior who fearlessly challenges the norms of her community. Heer and Ranjha are destined to meet and fall in love-the former chastised for her 'manly' pursuits and the latter ridiculed for his lack thereof.Told from multiple perspectives, set against the lush riverbanks and rugged countryside of West Punjab, this is a wise, passionate and lyrical retelling of one of the subcontinent's most beloved epics. A rich cast of characters-Kaido Langra, Jhang's seemingly pious conscience-keeper; Malki, the mother of a daughter she cannot understand; Seida Khera, Heer's hapless ﬁanc�; a silent, watchful crow; a ﬂock of excitable pigeons who bear witness and a philosophical goat-all play their part in bringing this stirring story to life.Manjul Bajaj scratches away at the many meanings of love in the timeless tale of Heer-Ranjha, who dreamt not only of love for themselves but of a kinder, freer and fairer world for all of creation

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a society governed by strict marriage rules and the diktats of the Khap, Jugni knows love is not an option. Her beloved uncle, whose unspoken favourite she has always been, will die if he ever learns of this betrayal of family honour; her brothers, her grandmother who has brought her up, their social standing in the village, everything wiill be lost and she could end up a corpse hanging from a tree. She cannot - and must not - meet Raakha again. And yet...and yet... Set in the Rohtak Divison of the erstwhile Punjab province in the year 1909 - but as relevant today as a hundred years ago - COME, BEFORE EVENING FALLS paints a poignant picture of a young Jat girl torn between family loyalty and the undeniable impulse of love as compelling as it is doomed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enthralling, heart-rending, poignant and engrossing stories of immortal love, unfettered emotions and everlasting appeal that have stood the test of time This volume comprises a collection of mystical stories from Punjab that forces the now ordinary and practical meaning of love to change into its illogical and irrational self it once used to be. An exposition of Sufi philosophy, each story possesses both the calm and the storm of true love – a love that consumes the body and the heart; a love that goes beyond all common sense; a love better known as junoon (intense passion), that finally culminates in ibaadat (worship) and the love of God. From Sohni-Mahiwal to Heer-Ranjha, Sassi-Punnu to Mirza-Sahiban, Harish Dhillon succinctly encapsulates the rich cultural and literary heritage Punjab is so famously synonymous with. Love Stories from Punjab brings alive the forgotten magic of folklore that will tug at all the right strings of the heart, once again. Drama, romance, tragedy and history are interwoven in the form of an exquisite tapestry.

Book excerpt: In Sweet Lechery, cultural journalist Jeet Heer offers a quirky collection of literary criticism that touches on a wide range of contemporary topics. From Margaret Atwood to Philip K. Dick, from Seth to Marshall McLuhan, Heer considers the literary and social contributions of canonical authors, artists, theorists and polemicists alike. Drawing from a variety of disciplines and genres, he links sex to economics, porn to high-brow literature, and tackles the oddball themes of cannibalism and vegetable sex in Canadian fiction. He examines the struggles of science fiction writers and the artistic opportunities of comic artists, weighing in on partisan politics for good measure. Rich with contextual detail and social commentary, these essays examine the cultural, historical and political forces that inform the books we read and write.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do people live together in cities shaped by inequality? This comparative ethnography of two African cities, Maputo and Johannesburg, presents a new narrative about social life in cities often described as sharply divided. Based on the ethnography of entangled lives unfolding in a township and in a suburb in Johannesburg, in a bairro and in an elite neighborhood in Maputo, the book includes case studies of relations between domestic workers and their employers, failed attempts by urban elites to close off their neighborhoods, and entanglements emerging in religious spaces and in shopping malls. Systematizing comparison as an experience-based method, the book makes an important contribution to urban anthropology, comparative urbanism and urban studies.

Book excerpt: As a native of Scotland, bestselling author Iain Banks has decided to undertake a tour of the distilleries of his homeland in a bid to uncover the unique spirit of the single malt. Visiting some of the world's most famous distilleries and also some of its smallest and most obscure ones, Banks embarks on a journey of discovery which educates him about the places, people and products surrounding the centuries-old tradition of whisky production. Using various modes of transport - ferries to the islands, cars across the highlands, even bicycles between bus-stops - Banks' tour of Scotland combines history, literature and landscape in an entertaining and informative account of an exploration in which the arrival is by no means the most important part of the journey.

Book excerpt: Nine finely nuanced stories that explore the themes of desire, intimacy and love... A contractor at a dam site develops so obsessive a desire for a tribal woman that he brings home and holds captive another man’s wife; a kathak dancer trapped in a marriage of convenience with an older man talks scathingly of fidelity; an accidental step into an occupied bathroom changes a young Delhi servant boy’s life forever; a young married couple beleaguered by infertility desperately tries to reignite the romance and passion of their honeymoon on a houseboat in Kashmir. Set across India, each of the stories in this collection unerringly locates the defiant undercurrent of individual expression in a world shackled by societal norms.
