Tapaalu Mani
₹140.00
Author: Rabhindranath Tagore, Translator: Mounesh Badiger
ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರಕವಿ ರವೀಂದ್ರನಾಥ ಠಾಕೂರರ ‘ಡಾಕ್ ಘರ್’ ಬಹಳ ಪ್ರಸಿದ್ಧ ನಾಟಕ. ಮಗುವಿನ ಮನೋದೈಹಿಕ ಸಾಧ್ಯತೆಗಳನ್ನು ಕಲೆಯ ಸೂಕ್ಷ್ಮಕಣ್ಣಿನಿಂದ ನೋಡುವ ಎರಡಂಕದ ಪುಟ್ಟ ನಾಟಕವಿದು. ಇದು ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸುವ ಮಾಯಾವಾಸ್ತವ ಬಹಳ ಅಪರೂಪವಾದದ್ದು. ಇದರ ಮುಖ್ಯ ಪಾತ್ರ ಮಗುವೇ ಆಗಿದ್ದರೂ ಇದರ ವಸ್ತು ಮಕ್ಕಳಿಗಳಿಂತ ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗಿ ದೊಡ್ಡವರಿಗೇ ಅನ್ವಯವಾಗುವಂತಿದೆ. ಮೌನೇಶ ಬಡಿಗೇರರು ಇದನ್ನು ಉತ್ತರಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಭಾಷೆಗೆ ತಂದು ಕನ್ನಡದ ನಾಟಕವೇ ಎನ್ನುವಷ್ಟು ರೂಪಾಂತರಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಇದರ ಪ್ರಯೋಗದ ಹೊಸ ಹೊಸ ಸಾಧ್ಯತೆಗಳನ್ನು ಕನ್ನಡ ರಂಗಭೂಮಿ ಇನ್ನೂ ಶೋಧಿಸಬೇಕಿದೆ.

Post Googlism and Other Short Stories
₹350.00Author: R C Natarajan
This collection of short stories is for the fast-paced millennials, whom the author calls “The Post Googlist Generation” who want everything hastily, at their finger-tips and on the go. The language has also shrunk in size to allow the pace. The world-view of this generation is that what cannot be done through an app cannot and should not be done. Their expectations of a story are a striking start, a quickly built middle and an interesting end. Stories in the collection seek to meet these expectations of this generation talking to them in their own language. They also echo the changing lives and changing aspirations of the time.

Anurakte- The Enamoured
₹390.00Author: Vyasaraya Ballal Translator: Poornima Hebbar
There are many rags-to-riches stories around the city of Mumbai. However, here is a story of transformation of a woman and her true self in the city of dreams. Set in Mangalore and Mumbai of the late 1940s, Anurakte- The Enamoured is an elegantly written story of a woman and her changing worldview over a period of time. Sumithra, a young woman with ordinary dreams and aspirations, comes to the then Bombay in search of livelihood. Little did she know that her experiences in the city and her zest for an independent life would transform her into a different person. She breaks the shell and resolves not to look back. The book is a poignant tale of love, loss, betrayal, family, relationships and traditions. The culturescape of Mumbai beautifully intertwines with her dreams. It is as much a story of the vibrancy of Mumbai as it is about Sumithra’s journey towards freedom.

A Shrine for Sarasamma is the English translation of Sarasammana Samadhi written by K Shivarama Karanth in 1937, in his early thirties.

The novel is a classic in Kannada and the English translation is an attempt to bring to the English reading audience a taste of the regional classic.

Defiance
₹495.00Defiance is a captivating tale of the march of globalization and its impact on the lives and times of the Santher Guthu family in Ombathkere, a village located between Mangaluru and Kasaragodu. Set in the picturesque Malabar coast of Karnataka in the late 20th Century, the novel takes the reader through four generations of the family. Ambakke, the protagonist, along with her brother Sankappa Hegde, the third-generation descendants of the family form the lifeblood of this story of human relationships in the midst of time and change. The novel is born out of deep contemplation of a community in the face of transition. There is anxiety that grips this part of Karnataka in the wake of modernity. The vast canvas of the novel and the depiction of folk culture provides a unique touch to the saga of the community. Defiance is a novel about traditions and the fear of losing out to modernity. It is about change and the desire to remain rooted.

Comets – Nomads of the Solar System
₹290.00This book introduces the general reader to the world of comets – those celestial visitors from the outer Solar System that occasionally visit the Earth’s neighbourhood and put up spectacular shows in the night sky. The world had geared up for just such a show at the end of 2013, when Comet ISON was expected to light up the night sky. Using the occasion to bring the world of comets to those interested, this book is a delightful read about the quirky world of these unpredictable visitors. Apart from lucidly and accurately updating the reader about what comets are, where they come from, why is it that they assume the fantastic shapes they do etc. “Comets” also regales the reader with myths about comets in various cultural contexts, snippets about famous comets in the history of mankind, anecdotes on comet discoveries and discoverers, the bewildering procedures followed while naming comets and much more. The book takes a hard look at the hype surrounding the fiery expectations about Comet ISON an cautions the reader that, while there was a good chance of the comet blazing forth in the skies of December 2013, there was a realistic chance that the comet would not survive its close encounter with the Sun. Sadly, the pessimistic predictions came true and the comet disintegrated as it went around the Sun. As we wait for chance to throw us a Great Comet to gaze at in the future, “Comets: Nomads of the Solar System” is an excellent guide to prepare for the event!

The Gandhi Cap and Other Short Stories
₹345.00Author: Raja Radhikaraman Prasad Singh, Translator: Mahendra P Srivastava
The book The Gandhi Cap and Other Short Stories offers a glimpse into the lifetime of work of a forgotten pioneer of Hindi fiction, Raja Radhikaraman Prasad Sinha. It is ironic that one cannot find a single book by this author who was so dedicated to Hindi literature. The stories in this collection are a testament not only to the contributions of Sinha to Hindi fiction but also, reflect the depth of political and social milieu of the times. Many readers will be moved by the elements patriotism, feminism, secularism, and spiritualism in these stories. Strong female characters are common in most of these stories. These characters provide both a moral fulcrum to the stories as well as reflect the struggle of women to balance prevailing customs with modernity. Some of these stories provide sharp political and social commentary that still have currency (The Gandhi Cap). Sinha incorporates a unique style of writing that uses lyrical prose and poetry together. He even employs a dialogue between the storyteller and a social gathering in the form of an epilogue, to offer a discourse on social dilemma about women’s plight to become modern while admonishing them to retain their Indian essence (An Expensive Bargain). We hope the readers will enjoy this wonderful collection.

Ayurvedic Inheritance- A Reader’s Companion
₹650.00Author: M S Valiathan
In ancient India, learning spanned four quarters of one’s life. Learning was sought from the teacher, from one’s individual effort, from fellow students and in the last quarter, from the school of life itself. This book belongs to the third quarter for students of Ayurveda regardless of their background in medicine, science, or humanities. Apart from topics in the eight branches of Ayurveda, the book also deals with Ayurvedic Biology which seeks to study the concepts and procedures of Ayurveda with the tools of modern biology. M S Valiathan is a National Research Professor of the Government of India. He is a medical graduate from the University of Kerala and completed his postgraduate training in general surgery from the University of Liverpool and other hospitals in the UK. He did his specialisation in cardiac surgery from the Johns Hopkins and Georgetown University Hospitals in the US. He was a cardiac surgeon for over three decades. His shift to Ayurvedic studies resulted in the publication of three volumes on Caraka, Susruta and Vagbhata, and an Introduction to Ayurveda. The Department of Science and Technology set up a Task Force in Ayurvedic Biology under his chairmanship to promote research in the nascent discipline.
