Book excerpt: When travel writer Christopher Stewart arrives at a riverside resort in Kerala, India to meet Koman, Radha's uncle and a famous dancer, he enters a world of masks and repressed emotions. From their first meeting, both Radha and her uncle are drawn to the enigmatic young man with his cello and his incessant questions about the past. The triangle quickly excludes Shyam, Radha's husband, who can only watch helplessly as she embraces Chris with a passion that he has never been able to draw from her. Also playing the role of observer-participant is Koman; his life story, as it unfolds, captures all the nuances and contradictions of the relationships being made—and unmade—in front of his eyes. Booklist calls Mistress "Tempestuously exotic, Nair's intricately woven multicultural and multigenerational saga pulsates with passion and desire."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike other parts of India, Kerala's geographic location in the extreme south-west protected it from extraneous influences allowing its many splendoured arts to continue and evolve with a certain insularity. Besides the world-renowned Kathakali, Kerala boasts of the oldest form of Sanskrit theatre, Kootiattam; ritual dances where blood sacrifices are still prevalent; masked and trance performances where dancers wear headgear more than 5 metres high; the most ancient martial arts technique, Kalaripayattu, and many other little-known forms of dance, war and ritual. In a society where every act is codified and every colour symbolic, it needs a lifetime to understand the intricacies and the layers of meaning and sophistication that make up the culture of region. In this book, Kerala's many art and ritual forms are introduced by eminent scholars. Stunning colour visuals, many of rites never seen outside the temple, allow, for the first time, a comparative look into the intricacies of style, make-up, adornments and costumes, making this book a first-ever introduction to the mysterious arts of Kerala.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indian Theatre expands the boundaries of what is usually regarded as theatre in order to explore the multiple dimensions of theatrical performance in India. From rural festivals to contemporary urban theatre, from dramatic rituals and devotional performances to dance-dramas and classical Sanskrit plays, this volume is a vivid introduction to the colourful and often surprising world of Indian performance. Besides mapping the vast range of performance traditions, the volume provides in-depth treatment of representative genres, including well-known forms such as Kathakali and ram lila and little-knowa performances such as tamasha. Each of these chapters explains the historical background of the theatre form under consideration and interprets its dramatic literature, probes its ritual or religious significance, and, where relevant, explores its social and political implications. Moreover, each chapter, except for those on the origins of Indian theatre, concludes with performance notes describing the actual experience of seeing a live performance in its original context. Based on extensive fieldwork, Indian Theatre is the first comprehensive account of the subject to be written by Western specialists and addressed to the needs of readers in the West. It will be a valuable resource for all students of Indian culture and a standard work in the history of theatre and performance for years to come.
