Book excerpt: My mother is never fond of the traditional fables from Bengal, where kings juggled seven queens and children were promised in marriage before they could even walk. Prompted by my elder daughter Tinni’s lament, “Dad, you only write books for adults,” I was inspired to take a different path. Why not create a book that celebrates the valiant women warriors from mythology and history? With aspirations to explore global mythologies, this book is my inaugural venture into the ancient legends of India. It's crafted to captivate both young and mature readers alike, with engaging narratives and vivid illustrations. I trust that it will delight your family as much as it has my own. Enjoy the stories and the rich imagery within these pages.

Download or read book Those Days written by Sunil Gangopadhyay and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2000-10-14 with total page 804 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Sahitya Akademi Award An award-winning novel that uses both vast panoramic views and lovingly reconstructed detail to provide an unforgettable picture of nineteenth-century Bengal. The Bengal Renaissance and the 1857 uprising form the backdrop to Those Days, a saga of human frailties and strength. The story revolves around the immensely wealthy Singha and Mukherjee families, and the intimacy that grows between them. Ganganarayan Singha's love for Bindubasini, the widowed daughter of the Mukherjees, flounders on the rocks of orthodoxy even as his zamindar father, Ramkamal, finds happiness in the arms of the courtesan, Kamala Sundari. Bimbabati, Ramkamal's wife, is left to cope with her loneliness. A central theme of the novel is the manner in which the feudal aristocracy, sunk in ritual and pleasure, slowly awakens to its social obligations. Historical personae interact with fictional protagonists to enrich the narrative. Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, the reformer; Michael Madhusudan Dutt, the poet; the father and son duo of Dwarkanath and Debendranath Tagore; Harish Mukherjee, the journalist; Keshab Chandra Sen, the Brahmo Samaj radical; David Hare and John Bethune, the English educationists—these and a host of others walk the streets of Calcutta again, to bring alive a momentous time.

Download or read book Book of Kali written by Seema Mohanty and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2009-07-20 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most unconventional yet immensely popular deities in the Hindu pantheon, goddess Kali essentially represents the dark and contrary aspects of the cosmos. Her naked form and association with violence, blood and gore challenge the very concept of divinity. Yet, over the centuries, she has come to represent a whole gamut of conflicting images—from bloodthirsty ogress to benign goddess. So today while she is venerated as Chamunda, a deity who verges on the macabre and grotesque, she is also adored in household shrines in one of her milder forms, Dakshina-Kali. It is this evolution of Kali—from her origin as a tantric goddess to her metamorphosis into a divinity in mainstream religion—that Seema Mohanty captures brilliantly in this book. Drawing upon a variety of sources—rituals associated with the worship of Kali, tales from the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, the Puranas, the Tantras and Agamas, folklore and films—she has succeeded in portraying in engrossing detail the myriad manifestations of the enigmatic deity that is Kali.
