Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buffaloes and oxen normally do not lock horns. What would be the outcome if they do? The contest would be a short-lived affair resulting in the victory of the stronger buffalo. This popular notion is challenged by a feeble male calf on the verge of death. Under the loving care of a cattle-loving household, the calf grows into a beautiful and strong ox. He takes on several hitherto unbeaten heroes to become the undisputed champion among the oxen of the locality. He then dares to challenge the supremacy of a buffalo. Will the ox merge victorious in this contest? Ayyappankutty, a tame elephant gone berserk, becomes a threat to life and property in the hamlet of Thottuva. He wreaks havoc on the south bank of the river Periyar in Kerala for nearly a week. The Travancore Maharaja deputes his sharp-shooting police officer to account for the menacing beast. A diminutive mahout has a different plan. Both converge in Thottuva on the same day. Will Ayyappankutty fall to the bullets of Veeran Mudaliar? Will the courageous mahout bring him into submission and save his life? River Periyar’s magnificent sandbank in Thottuva is ravaged by the sand mining unions with the government agencies remaining mute spectators. Rivalry among the unions affects normal life. While the riverbed sinks by several metres due to both lawful and unlawful sand mining, the vice of liquor addiction overpowers several young men, disrupting their family life. The protagonist, Jivan, a silent and innocent teetotaller, gradually takes to drinking with very dangerous consequences!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Mercedes Lackey's Firebird, Ilya, son of a Russian prince, is largely ignored by his father and tormented by his larger, older brothers. His only friends are three old people: a priest, a magician, and a woman who toils in the palace dairy. From them Ilya learns faith, a smattering of magic, and the power of love--all of which he will need desperately, for his life is about to be turned upside-down. The prince's magnificent cherry orchard is visited at midnight by the legendary Firebird, whose wings are made of flame. Ilya's brothers' attempts to capture the magical creature fail. When Ilya tries to catch the Firebird, he sees her as a beautiful woman and earns a magical gift: the speech of animals. Banished, the young man journeys through a fantastical Russia full of magical mazes, enchanted creatures, and untold dangers. As happens in the best fairy tales, Ilya falls in love with an enchanted princess, but to win her freedom will be no easy task.

Download or read book The Last Man in Russia written by Oliver Bullough and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russia is dying from within. Oligarchs and oil barons may still dominate international news coverage, but their prosperity masks a deep-rooted demographic tragedy. Faced with staggering population decline—and near-certain economic collapse—driven by toxic levels of alcohol abuse, Russia is also battling a deeper sickness: a spiritual one, born out of the country’s long totalitarian experiment. In The Last Man in Russia, award-winning journalist Oliver Bullough uses the tale of a lone priest to give life to this national crisis. Father Dmitry Dudko, a dissident Orthodox Christian, was thrown into a Stalinist labor camp for writing poetry. Undaunted, on his release in the mid-1950s he began to preach to congregations across Russia with little concern for his own safety. At a time when the Soviet government denied its subjects the prospect of advancement, and turned friend against friend and brother against brother, Dudko urged his followers to cling to hope. He maintained a circle of sacred trust at the heart of one of history’s most deceitful systems. But as Bullough reveals, this courageous group of believers was eventually shattered by a terrible act of betrayal—one that exposes the full extent of the Communist tragedy. Still, Dudko’s dream endures. Although most Russians have forgotten the man himself, the embers of hope that survived the darkness are once more beginning to burn. Leading readers from a churchyard in Moscow to the snow-blanketed ghost towns of rural Russia, and from the forgotten graves of Stalin’s victims to a rock festival in an old gulag camp, The Last Man in Russia is at once a travelogue, a sociological study, a biography, and a cri de coeur for a dying nation—one that, Bullough shows, might yet be saved.

Book excerpt: A Los Angeles Times Best Book of the Year: “Part social satire, part thriller, and entirely clever” (Elle). It is a midsummer’s evening in the English countryside, and the three grown Palmer children are coming to the end of an enjoyable meal in the company of their partners and offspring. From this pleasant vantage point they play a dinner-party game: What kind of society would you be willing to accept if you didn’t know your place in it? But the abstract question of justice, like all their family conversations, is eventually brought back to the more pressing problem of their eccentric mother, Frieda, the famous writer, who has abandoned them and her old life, and gone to live alone in Exmoor. Frieda has always been a powerful and puzzling figure, a monster mother with a mysterious past. What is she plotting against them now? Has some inconvenient form of political correctness led her to favor her enchanting half-Guyanese grandson? What will she do with her money? Is she really writing her memoirs? And why has she disappeared? Has the dark spirit of Exmoor finally driven her mad? The Witch of Exmoor brilliantly interweaves high comedy and personal tragedy, unraveling the story of a family whose comfortable, rational lives, both public and private, are about to be violently disrupted by a succession of sinister, messy events. “Leisurely and mischievous,” it is a dazzling, wickedly gothic tale of a British matriarch, her three grasping children, and the perils of self-absorption (The New Yorker). “As meticulous as Jane Austen, as deadly as Evelyn Waugh.” —Los Angeles Times
