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.

Akka Mahadevi, the questioning poet-saint
₹255.00Author: D A Shankar
This book presents the mystical ruminations and literary excellence of Akka Mahadevi, the earliest example of a gender-liberated woman writer, credited with the composition of over four hundred and forty remarkably self-explorative Vachanas. Akka Mahadevi represents a powerfully authentic female voice of the radical, egalitarian Sharana Movement, which questioned the socially established barrier between genders and ushered in a world of socio-cultural equality.
In this book, the author explores the questioning spirit intrinsic to Akka Mahadevi’s life and writings, as she questions the widely held conventional norms: the traditional husband-wife relationship, her parents, elders; she questions Basavanna and Allama for their habituated patriarchal manner of speaking, and she bravely questions her personal deity whom she loves and adores. Apart from discerning a credible ‘history’ and background to Akka’s works, this book makes available a rendition of her selectively profound and memorable Vachana in modern English, that crosses the ?the gulf of language and the gulf of time.

Karakarthaprabodhini
₹345.00Author: Shivani V
Kaumudī (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 Kaumudī (moonlight) to blossom it and show the light to reach its core. Kārakārthaprabodhinī is such an attempt. Kāraka, 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 Kāraka. 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.

The Path of Proofs – Pramanapaddhati of Sri Jayatirtha
₹250.00The Path of Proofs: Pramanapaddhati of Sri Jayatirtha Epistemology of the Dvaita school of thought is presented in this short monograph Pramanapaddhati the Path of Proofs, authored by Sri Jayatirtha. Epistemology is the science of knowledge that deals with the origin and nature of cognitive events and their means. Acarya Madhva, the proponent of the Dvaita school, has explained about the epistemology of this new school in his works. Since Madhva’s language is profound and the elucidations are scattered over his several works, it is difficult to comprehend for a novice. Hence, Pramanapaddhati was composed by his successor of third generation Sri Jayatirtha. The simple and captivating style of this work is sure to ignite the interest in the readers to conduct further study in detail. This work is not only regarded as a standard textbook of Dvaita studies, but also considered as a basic authentic work in the Dvaita dialectic literature. The work is classified into three chapters; Pratyaksa, Anumana and Agama as a compendious yet full treatment of the Dvaita epistemology in smaller captions. Its discussion on the standpoints of other schools on various topics and their criticism is not much detailed. However, it is systematized and presented in an easily comprehendible style that can make even a novice understand the intricacies of Dvaita epistemology. The unique commentary skill of Sri Jayatirtha comprises of profound scholarship, style of exposition, lucid language, commitment to the original author, views on opposition with thorough knowledge, logical integrity, appropriate and comprehensive method of thinking. This work is rendered into English by Prof Shrinivasa Varakhedi adopting the mirror-translation method.

Mahāmmāyi
₹195.00Author: Chandrasekhara Kambara, Translator: Kathyayini Kunjibettu
Mahāmmāyi is the story of the legend of Shatavithaayi – the Goddess of death, and her adopted son Sambhashiva. Out of affection for her son, Goddess Shatavithaayi blesses him with the “power of life”. The blessing was that death will evade the people who are treated by Sambashiva. But a certain condition set by Shatavithaayi forbade him from healing every ill man. The condition was that, if Shatavithaayi stood on the right side of the patient, Sambhashiva could treat that person and he would live; but, if she stood on the left side of the patient, he should not treat that person as his death was inevitable. Through a distinct method of story-telling, the story follows the life of Sambhashiva as he begins to question the ideas of fate and destiny. Thus, the conflict between fate and human efforts to change that fate is vividly described in this play.Interested readers may write to us at mup@manipal.edu about purchasing the book.

Life and Art of K K Hebbar
₹2,000.00Author: Haridas Bhat Editors: Rekha Rao, Rajani Prasanna Translators: Sandhya Vasudev, Rukma Vasudev
K K Hebbar was a trailblazer in Indian art. His contributions to modern Indian art as an artist, teacher, and art administrator are unparalleled. What is ‘Indian’ in modern Indian art has been a subject of discussion since the beginning of the modernist movement. Hebbar’s oeuvre is an answer to that question. It is modern and yet, intensely Indian, both in terms of subjects and treatment. Hebbar remained rooted in his native soil. His line drawings are a treasure of Indian art. No one has surpassed them in their delicacy and lyricism.
This biography is Mr Bhat’s affectionate account of his friend Hebbar’s life and art. The strength of Hebbar’s character comes through in his narration. Integrity and self-discipline were Hebbar’s defining qualities. Arguably, the man was greater than his work. And that makes his story intriguing. This biography of a major artist is a welcome addition to the meagre literature on Indian artists.
