Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - About the BookFEATURING THE STORY THAT BECAME A POPULAR FILMThis selection of Tagore's stories exemplifies his remarkable ability to enter the complexities of human relationships. Within seemingly simple plots, Tagore portrays with unusual compassion and lyricism the predicament of Bengali women in traditional contexts, moving from the loneliness of an intelligent, beautiful woman neglected by her husband in his acclaimed novella 'Broken Nest' to the powerlessness of a young girl whose prized possession is taken away in 'Notebook', from the casual abandonment of an orphan in 'Postmaster' to a girl robbed of her childhood in 'The Ghat's Tale'.Powerful in their simplicity, brilliant in their astuteness, the novella and three short stories included in this collection-translated by acclaimed poet and fiction writer Sharmistha Mohanty-are some of the Nobel Laureate's finest prose works.About the AuthorSharmistha Mohanty is the author of three works of prose, Book One, New Life and Five Movements in Praise, and a book of poems, The Gods Came Afterwards. Her most recent work is Extinctions, a book of prose poems. …

Or, has he What is his connection to the Buddhist monastery in Nagapattinam And who stands to gain the most from his mysterious disappearance surrounding his fate Meanwhile, his friend Vandiyadevan tries to figure out the dark game the Pazhuvoor Rani Nandini seems to be playing, even as he feels helplessly sorry for her. This scion of a clan that has lost its wealth, titles and influence, Vandiyadevan stands at a crossroads: he must decide between the offers two women make to him. Both may lead him back to his lost kingdom, but only one will give him true happiness.In the Chozha court, through all this, treasonous forces are still at play-so-called loyal allies of the throne are moving swiftly to crown the puppet prince Madurantaka Devar. Is there anyone who can put an end to this rising treacherous tide When Ponniyin Selvan was first serialised in Kalki, no one could have imagined the impact it would have on the circulation of the magazine. The novel invented a distinct style, in which slang alternates with erudition, wordplay with euphoric prose and vivid imagery-a style that critics came to call 'Kalki Tamil'. Today, this pioneering work is considered one of the great classics of Tamil literature.About the Author'Kalki' is the pen name of Ramaswamy Krishnamurthy (1899-1954), whose career in writing and journalism began as activism during the struggle for Indian independence. He served as editor of the popular Tamil magazine Ananda Vikatan before launching Kalki. The magazine-and eventually its founder-was named for the mythological tenth avatar of Vishnu to symbolise a vision to 'destroy regressive regimes, express radical thoughts, take readers into new directions, and create a new era'. Kalki wrote several novels, including Parthiban Kanavu and Sivakamiyin Sabadam, as well as political essays, film reviews, dance and music critiques and scholarly work. …
