It is possible to divide things like land, water and bring division in the country on the basis of religion, economy and other factors not a subject matter of our interest but we have seen the border could not restrict the human relations, their emotions and the bondage of mankind irrespective of their religion and the state they live.

Download or read book The Triumph of the Snake Goddess written by Kaiser Haq and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-12 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Snakes exist in the myths of most societies, often embodying magical, mysterious forces. Snake cults were especially important in eastern India and Bangladesh, where for centuries worshippers of the indigenous snake goddess Manasa resisted the competing religious influences of Indo-Europeans and Muslims. The result was a corpus of verse texts narrating Manasa’s struggle to win universal adoration. The Triumph of the Snake Goddess is the first comprehensive retelling of this epic tale in modern English. Scholar and poet Kaiser Haq offers a composite prose translation of Manasa’s story, based on five extant versions. Following the tradition of mangalkavyas—Bengali verse narratives celebrating the deeds of deities in order to win their blessings—the tale opens with a creation myth and a synopsis of Indian mythology, zooming in on Manasa, the miraculous child of the god Shiva. Manasa easily wins the allegiance of everyone except the wealthy merchant Chand, who holds fast in his devotion to Shiva despite seeing his sons massacred. A celestial couple is incarnated on earth to fulfill Manasa’s design: Behula, wife to one of Chand’s slain sons, undertakes a harrowing odyssey to restore him to life with Manasa’s help, ultimately persuading Chand to bow to the snake goddess. A prologue by Haq explores the Bengali oral, poetic, and manuscript traditions behind this Hindu folk epic—a vibrant part of popular Bengali culture, Hindu and Muslim, to this day—and an introduction by Wendy Doniger examines the history and significance of snake worship in classical Sanskrit texts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When John Wilkerson, a twenty-six-year-old graduate student, escapes to the island of Culebra over spring break, he's ready to abandon his studies and his girlfriend Zoe for less technology, fewer responsibilities, and quiet contemplation of nature. What he doesn't expect is almost drowning in less than ten feet of water and a mysterious rescuer. John's efforts to figure out what he wants to do with his life and who he wants in it are hampered by Ana, Culebra's resident folk healer, a rival named Jesus, and a darkly seductive woman named Raimunda. Then there's the quirky, innocent, and very lovely young Tamarind who keeps showing up in the most surprising places. In this adult fairy tale inspired by "The Little Mermaid," the prince must grow up to win the girl of his dreams, the mermaid has to choose between love and power, and both will be tested by the ugliness that distinguishes reality from fantasy. An Ordinary Drowning was originally published as Volume One in The Mermaid's Pendant, a novel that The Midwest Book Review describes as a "beautifully crafted fantasy that shows much symbolism and wisdom."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If Hamlet, one of Shakespeare’s great tragic heroes, said of man, ‘What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties,…- And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me-no, nor woman neither,’ we have, after about four centuries, G.A.Kulkarni, an outstanding short story writer in Marathi, to present a similar portrait of mankind. To G.A., human beings, quintessentially made up of dust, seem to be mere ‘shadows in the desert,’ and hence look so unsubstantial. And though their hands seemingly join together, their shadows are simply extending unto the grave beyond. G.A.Kulkarni tries to outline an image of a complex network of unfathomable destiny in his stories to bring out the uncertainty and absurdity in human life that lies underneath the tragic potential of human predicament. In this sense, G.A.’s worldview has affinity not only with the great tragic poets of ancient Greece but also the Absurd playwrights and Existentialist thinkers of the 20th century. Following the first volume A Journey Forever (2010), thirteen more Short story masterpieces by G.A.Kulkarni are presented in English translation in Shadows in the Desert. The collection illustrates almost all types of short fiction by the Sahitya Akademi Award winning author: realistic stories rooted in the Indian soil (Kasaab : The Butcher, Kavathe:Wood Apples, Chandrawal : The Dancing Pigeon), fantastic but epiphanic tales- a type unparalleled in the history of Short story form at World Literature level- (The Slave, The Messenger, Vidooshak: The Fool), fictional reworking and reinterpretation of Indian and western myths in Mukti: Deliverance and Yaatrik: The Crusader respectively as well as metaphorical/symbolic tales of revelation heavily laden with multiple meanings like Bali: Victim of Sacrifice?, Soyare:Kinsmen, and Anaamik: Anonymous.

Her own spectacular prints earned her the estimable title the incontestable pioneer of contemporary lithography. But Wayne's artistic accomplishments are even richer than that. Throughout her career, she boldly explored a variety of media and aesthetic concepts.
