Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A well translated work has in it the beauty of all these truths. Assam, a state of the Northeast of India has her own realities, her fiction, her men and women, living out their lives, in situations, that time and history has created. The Assamese tongue is a fine one, soft and melodious, and her women folk sheltered and protected, are soft beings lost amidst a vibrant crowd. The Assamese tongue has its own nuances, its own edge. The stories and realities of this corner of India need to reach out to different people and countries, so that people speaking an alien tongue may read them. It is necessary for a global understanding. The stories are all very well translated. They throw the beam of the torchlight on that pertinent angle of social fracture. There the mind is a prisoner. There is Madhavi, Suchana, Leem, Loya, Baruna Chaliha, Aijoni...on the surfaces of the prism of life. "TALES FROM HER PEN" is an excellently translated work of Assamese stories, highlighting the facts of sanguine desire, ruddy perspectives, dreams of salad days, wry hopes and rumpled dreams. TALES FROM HER PEN has it all in Snigdhamalati Neog's brilliant translation of the contemporary women's stories.

Download or read book The Complete Tales Of The Katha Sarit Sagara written by Somadeva Bhatta and published by Abhishek Publications. This book was released on 2022-12-22 with total page 1024 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vast ocean of stories that influenced storytelling the world over 'The Kathasaritasagara' is said to have been compiled by a Kashmiri Saivite Brahmin called Somadeva in AD 1070, although the date has not been conclusively established. Legend has it that Somadeva composed the Kathasaritasagara for Queen Suryavati, wife of King Anantadeva who ruled Kashmir in the eleventh century. The stories in this book are retold from ten of the eighteen books of the original Kathasaritasagara. The most remarkable feature of the Kathasaritasagara is that unlike other texts of the time, it offers no moral conclusions, no principles to live by and is throughout a celebration of earthly life. The tale of Naravahanadatta, the prince of the vidyadharas, the sky-dwellers with magical powers, comprises the main narrative and is used as an outer frame to introduce the stories in the text. Promiscuous married women and clever courtesans, imbecile Brahmins, incompetent kings and wise ministers, wicked mendicants and holy ascetics, cursed men and men who are granted boons, evil non-human creatures and friendly magical beings, all jostle for attention in Arshia Sattar’s masterful translation of this timeless collection of tales.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marie-André Duplessis (1687-1760) guided the Augustinian sisters at the Hôtel-Dieu of Quebec - the oldest hospital north of Mexico - where she was elected mother superior six times. Although often overshadowed by colonial nuns who became foundresses or saints, she was a powerhouse during the last decades of the French regime and an accomplished woman of letters. She has been credited with Canada’s first literary narrative, Canada’s first music manual, and the first book by a Canadian woman printed during her own lifetime. In A Touch of Fire, the first biography of Duplessis, Thomas Carr analyzes how she navigated, in peace and war, the unstable, male-dominated colonial world of New France. Through a study of Duplessis's correspondence, her writings, and the rich Hôtel-Dieu archives, Carr details how she channelled the fire of her commitment to the hospital in order to advance its interests, preserve its history, and inspire her sister nuns. Duplessis chronicled New France as she wrote for and about her institution. Her administrative correspondence reveals her managerial successes and failures, and her private letters reshaped her friendship with a childhood Jansenist friend, Marie-Catherine Hecquet. Carr also delves into her relationship with her sister Geneviève Duplessis, who joined her in the cloister and became her managerial and spiritual partner. The addition of Duplessis's last letters provides a dramatic insider's view into the female experience of the siege and capture of Quebec in 1759. A Touch of Fire examines the life and work of an enterprising leader and major woman author of early Canada.

This book was released on 2024-03-28 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For generations, nature lovers like Joy Adamson or gallant sailors like Zhang He, have risked their lives in unforgiving conditions through uncharted territory. Others have bypassed the limits of human endurance to share their adventurers’ experiences. For as long as people have travelled in the countryside, interacted with locals, partaken of their cuisine, gotten accommodations, and learned something new, there have been Agritourists. With increasing global awareness on natural ecosystems for sustainable livelihoods, combining adventure with biodiversity conservation has never been this fascinating. Understanding some basic dynamics of the culture, political landscape, and biodiversity of some destinations can assist with a visitor’s or investor’s timely decision-making. This is a candid sojourner’s tale laced with satire, where wild animal characteristics are closely matched with human behaviour across issues. Safe travels!

Book excerpt: The title 'THUMBS-UP FOR RUMA,' a tragedy pitches upon the life a young lively girl who attracts us with her artless musings and innocent charm. Though it's a heart-wrenching narrative, a tragedy to gnaw at the heart yet, the title stands justified to be toned in positive. It could very well be attributed to the eternal sprightly, playful and sober child who brings life to one's memories of childhood. The title is also relevant in one more sense that which the girl lived through, faced straight the unseemly troubles, her courage and choices mark her above an ordinary child. At the centre of the novel is Ruma, a cheerful, little bubbly girl, though with a torn soul to steer through with a terrific cast of other characters chiefly, Nirupalli, a loving, considerate nurse who had been searching her, since they parted away. At first blush, the story seems to be a fount of humour and chugs along smoothly, it's when Nirupalli and Ruma meet each other and remain at the loggerheads. Ruma is an epitome of childish innocence and playfulness, plays down the serious and calm attitude of the nurse leaving her defeated and embittered. Through a well-knit conspiracy of her twin elder brothers, in possession of great wealth and power, she is forcefully rushed to a far-off place of which she hardly bears a hint and captivated in a dark, lone room, from where she makes a successful escape with the aid of a by-passer, a random man. In the other link of the same chain, the nurse-maid who had been made to treat Ruma while she was ill, is late and lamenting to discover that she caught a deadly infection that anyway could have passed through her into little child's, causing perhaps her death if not treated medically for that very rare condition. She accidentally chances upon to overhear the ill-designs of the sinister twins, and secretly hurries back, now direly firm and decided to find the girl and help her destiny. A kind manager, Mrs Ranga who curiously is Nirupalli's friend helps her flee with Amit, the gardener's son to his village, in case she should be suspected by the police and face the trial if the truth comes up. Nirupalli, who stays with her during her pursuit to find Ruma, is caught unawares about the possible fact that her friend and Ruma are in direct touch but comes to discover it only after it's extremely late. And the prudence caused her greater sadness when she visits the village where Ruma was supposed to be with the gardener's son and finds her no longer living. Towards the end of the story, one can figure that the hope being crushed when Ruma dies out in the flames of a merciless, untamed fire-break out. Well, that's for the debate and undecided reality because some people held it too that Ruma saved her life and again the evidence that no one saw her burning first-hand even the remains of the ashes were not revealing. Ruma after escaping the place of captivity seeks shelter in a big mansion that belongs to a renowned Bengali family who was kind enough to have her. As luck would have it, the child steadily but sadly morphed into a servant to them. She had not spent many peaceful days when another debacle fell in her way, changing her course of life for always. Ruma by fault and accident, happened to kill an intruder who jumped off the boundary in dark, and rushed towards her, she found nothing less than a poker around to defend herself. Just while she was turning round of herself, the intruder thrust into the long, unkind neck of the poker, dripping with hot blood. Mr and Mrs Ranga tone down the nail-biting tension in the air around though all the narrative. The prime mover of the villainy receives a justified end with the younger brother killing the older one, following a heated argument, and landing himself up in jail.

Book excerpt: “Epic fantasy at its finest—an homage to storytelling and legend, richly told and endlessly engaging.”—Andrea Stewart, author of The Bone Shard Daughter Don’t miss the first novel in this stunning Silk Road-inspired epic fantasy series from R.R. Virdi—a saga of legends, lies, and the secretive storyteller who’s spun them all. All legends are born of truths. And just as much lies. These are mine. Judge me for what you will. But you will hear my story first. I buried the village of Ampur under a mountain of ice and snow. Then I killed their god. I've stolen old magics and been cursed for it. I started a war with those that walked before mankind and lost the princess I loved, and wanted to save. I've called lightning and bound fire. I am legend. And I am a monster. My name is Ari. And this is the story of how I let loose the first evil. “Rich world-building, plenty of action, and devious twists abound. Very highly recommended!” —Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of V-Wars and Kagen the Damned At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
