ರಾಸೀನ್‍ನ ಫೀದ್ರಾ ನಾಟಕವು ಪಾಶ್ಚಿಮಾತ್ಯ ನಾಟಕ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯದಲ್ಲೇ ಒಂದು ಆಯಕಟ್ಟಿನ ಕೃತಿ. ಗ್ರೀಕ್ ಮತ್ತು ಎಲಿಜಬೆಥನ್ ನಾಟಕಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಕಾಣಸಿಗದ ಹೊಸ ಬಗೆಯ ಮನೋಲೋಕವೊಂದನ್ನು ತನ್ನ ಪಾತ್ರಗಳಿಗೆ ಧಾರಣೆ ಮಾಡಿಸಿದ ಈ ನಾಟಕವು ಆ ಮೂಲಕವೇ ಈ ಪರಂಪರೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮನೋವಿಜ್ಞಾನಕ್ಕೆ ಒಂದು ಖಾಯಂ ಸ್ಥಾನವನ್ನು ಒದಗಿಸಿಕೊಟ್ಟಿತು. ಮುಂದೆ ಬಹುತೇಕ ಪಾಶ್ಚಿಮಾತ್ಯ ನಾಟಕಗಳು ಈ ಪರಂಪರೆಯನ್ನು ಮುಂದುವರಿಸಿದವು; ರಂಗಭೂಮಿಯಲ್ಲೂ ಮನೋಲೋಕವನ್ನು ಮುಂದಕ್ಕೆ ತರುವ ವಿಭಿನ್ನ ಪ್ರಯೋಗಗಳಿಗೆ ಈ ಪರಂಪರೆಯು ಚಾಲ್ತಿ ನೀಡಿತು. ಈ ಸಂಪ್ರದಾಯಕ್ಕೆ ವಿರೋಧಿಯಾದ ಫ್ರಾನ್ಸಿನ ಪ್ರಸಿದ್ಧ ರಂಗಕರ್ಮಿ ಆಂತೋನಿನ್ ಆರ್ತೋನ ಮಾತುಗಳನ್ನು ಕೇಳುವುದಾದರೆ, ಪಾಶ್ಚಿಮಾತ್ಯ ರಂಗಭೂಮಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ‘ಸೈಕಾಲಜಿಯ ದುರ್ಬೀಜ’ ಬಿತ್ತಿದ ಕೃತಿ ಇದು! ಹಾಗಿರುವುದರಿಂದ, ನಾವು ಈ ನಾಟಕವನ್ನು ಹೇಗೇ ಓದಲಿ, ಓದದೆ ಇದ್ದರೆ ಅಷ್ಟರ ಮಟ್ಟಿಗೆ ಪಾಶ್ಚಾತ್ಯ ನಾಟಕ ಸಂಪ್ರದಾಯದ ಅರಿವು ಅಪೂರ್ಣ. ಅಂಥ ಪ್ರಮುಖ ನಾಟಕವೊಂದು ಇನ್ನೂ ಕನ್ನಡಕ್ಕೆ ಬಾರದೆ ಉಳಿದಿತ್ತು; ಆ ಲೋಪವನ್ನು ಈ ಅನುವಾದವು ಸಮರ್ಥವಾಗಿಯೇ ತುಂಬಿಸಿದೆ. ಮೂಲದ ನಿಷ್ಠೆಯೊಂದಿಗೆ ಭಾಷಾಗಾಂಭೀರ್ಯ ಮತ್ತು ಮಾತಿನ ಸುಭಗತೆ ಎರಡನ್ನೂ ಒಟ್ಟಿಗೇ ಹಿಡಿಯಲು ಯತ್ನಿಸಿರುವ ಈ ಅನುವಾದವನ್ನು ನಾನು ತುಂಬು ಮನಸ್ಸಿನಿಂದ ಸ್ವಾಗತಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ.

Two Plays – The Sahyadri Saga and The World of Swayamvara
₹199.00Author: Akshara K V Translator: Jayanth Kodkani
These two plays negotiate with the real problems of contemporary India. If Sahyadri Kanda is about the ripples caused in the life of the people in a village on the Western Coast which will soon have a nuclear plant, Swayamvaraloka, is an allegorical narrative set in a small village that extends to include the larger contemporary world. Both the plays dwell on the seeming binaries of village-city, success-failure, modern-traditional while examining the nature of human relationships in the changing world. These plays also reflect an ambition to elevate the real experience to a mythical level. While most playwrights attempt to echo contemporary concerns by reinterpreting history and mythology, for these plays, the epics, their grandeur, the struggle, the wars are not episodes that happen in kingdoms and palaces and battlefields, they are also that which takes place in the microworld of one’s consciousness. Each character in these plays find their own dharma, yet it offers no model for the reader, and remains only a pointer to the complex process of finding it.

Kaitan Gandhi’s Freedom Struggle
₹280.00Kaitan Gandhiya Swatantrya Horata is one of the very few novels written in Kannada on the Gandhian phase of the Indian freedom struggle. It is not globally unknown that Gandhi not only changed the idiom of the struggle and successfully experimented his lifetime-belief in non-violence on the vast canvas but also made it decisively inclusive. Kaitan Gandhi?s Freedom Struggle thematically illuminates these two crucial aspects of the great struggle and grapples with the naked truth as Charles, the priest in the novel revealingly says, ?The rulers, whosoever it is, are rulers. Caste, colour, or country does not matter to them. All are wicked.? Like in all true works of realist literature, the author, here too, creatively blends the individual, the social, and the historical in such a way that the novel poignantly unfolds the true spirit of quest ? for freedom and humanity.

Karakarthaprabodhini
₹345.00Kaumud? (water lily) is the primer to study Sanskrit grammar, yet an ardent reader might find it a maze to untangle from its complexities. There is a need of Kaumud? (moonlight) to blossom it and show the light to reach its core. K?rak?rtha-prabodhin? is such an attempt. K?raka, a factor that determines the relation between verb and the constituent words of a sentence, enables the reader to understand the intent of the sentence and thus critical discourses too. The Sanskrit grammatical texts and discourses have elaborated on the subtleties of K?raka. Due to its profundity, there was a need for a lucid writing for the scholars and students for easy comprehension, which can be a reference book. Dr Potti made this possible for the Malayalam readers. Dr Shivani presents it for the Sanskrit fraternity too, with an introduction by Dr Varakhedi.
