Download or read book Naga Tales Dawn written by Dr Achingliu Kamei and published by Blurb. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DAWN is the first book in a series of 'Naga Tales'. It contains a collection of authentic Naga folktales, retold by Dr. Achingliu Kamei. The Nagas are one of the indigenous peoples living in the North Eastern part of India and North Western Myanmar with a population numbering about 4 million. They are known for their courage, bravery, rich culture and strong identity. Oral traditions such as folktales, myths, songs, and poems were passed down from one generation to the next. Children and youth learned through stories and legends about survival skill, endurance, ethic, respect for nature and for humanity. The oral tradition and expressions are getting less practice in the Naga society due to the modern influences such as mass media and urbanisation. Therefore, this book is an attempt to preserve the legacy of traditional storytelling culture, presented in a written form. It aims to connect the younger Naga generation to their roots and identity, and inspire them to take pride in their cultural heritage. For the rest of the readers in the world, it can be a showcase of the ancient traditions of social norm, beliefs, ethics, and value system found in the Naga society. It provides the readers glimpses into the Nagas' history, customs, and traditions, social relationship and interrelationship with nature, spirits, and the animal world.

Download or read book When the River Sleeps written by Easterine Kire and published by Zubaan. This book was released on 2014-11-05 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lone hunter, Vilie, sets out to find the river of his dreams: to wrest from its sleeping waters a stone that will give him untold power. It is a dangerous quest, for not only must he overcome unquiet spirits, vengeful sorceresses and daemons of the forest, there are men – armed with guns – on his trail. Easterine Kire’s novel transports the reader to the remote mountains of Nagaland, a place alive with natural wonder and supernatural enchantment. As Vilie treks through the forest on the trail of his dream, we are also swept along in this powerful narrative and walk alongside him in a world where the spirits are every bit as real as men and women, and where danger – or salvation – lies at every turn. Kire’s powerful narrative invites us into the lives and hearts of the people of Nagaland: the rituals and beliefs, their reverence for the land, their close-knit communities – the rhythms of a life lived in harmony with their natural surroundings. It is against this spellbinding backdrop that Kire tells the story of a solitary man driven by the mysterious pull of a dream, who must overcome weretigers and malignant widow-spirits in the search for his heart’s desire. Published by Zubaan.

Download or read book Burmese Silver Art Masterpieces Illuminating Buddhist Hindu and Mythological Stories of Purpose and Wisdom written by David C. Owens and published by Marshall Cavendish International Asia Pte Ltd. This book was released on 2020-06-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Burmese master silversmiths produced a magnificent body of work from the mid-19th to the early 20th centuries – the Burmese Silver Age. This aesthetic and functional work is characterized by a unique decorative style and superb technical artistry. Many of the artefacts are embellished with mysterious visual narratives drawn from ancient religious and mythological sources, communicating spiritual beliefs and values that resonate to this day. Burmese silverwork is a distinct and little-known genre of silver art. This book tackles this obscurity by illuminating and describing for the first time 100 Burmese silver artefacts in a stunning photographic gallery. This silverwork – from the Noble Silver Collection – represents some of the rarest and finest quality work from the Burmese Silver Age. The centrepiece gallery of silverwork masterpieces is bookended by two well-illustrated and informative chapters that provide readers with deeper insights into Burmese silverwork: a robust frame of reference chapter summarises the 2,000-year history and cultural tradition of Burmese silverwork; and a chapter following the gallery deciphers the complex and allegorical iconography of the decoration, which gives the reader a deeper appreciation of its religious and cultural meaning and origin. This book captures the great, almost mystical, allure of Burmese silverwork – from the sublime artistry of the decoration, to the extraordinary skill of the silversmith and the profound meaning and importance of the visual narratives. In doing so, Burmese Silver Art takes its place as a definitive reference work for any art historian, collector, expert, student, or general reader interested in this hitherto-overlooked body of noble art.

Download or read book Indian Feminist Ecocriticism written by Douglas A. Vakoch and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-08-08 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following Françoise d’Eaubonne’s creation of the term “ecofeminism” in 1974, scholars around the world have explored ways that the degradation of the environment and the subjugation of women are linked. In the nearly three decades since the publication of the classical work Ecofeminism by Maria Mies and Vandana Shiva in 1993, several collections have appeared that apply ecofeminism to literary criticism, also known as feminist ecocriticism. The most recent of these include anthologies that emphasize international perspectives, furthering the comparative task launched by Mies and Shiva. To date, however, there have been no books devoted to gaining a broad-based understanding of feminist ecocriticism in India, understood in its own terms. Our new volume Indian Feminist Ecocriticism offers a survey of literature as seen through an ecofeminist lens by Indian scholars, which places contemporary literary analysis through a sampling of its diverse languages and in the context of millennia-old mythic traditions of India.
