Download or read book Rebel written by and published by RAM C. Khatri. This book was released on 2017-03-23 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories in this anthology share a unique distinction: all navigate the different aspects of the Maoist insurgency in Nepal when the Himalayan country of Mount Everest was thrown chaotically into the 'People's War.' Originally written in Nepali by police officers, Maoist fighters, and established authors, the stories show different aspects of the war time era of Nepal during the decade starting 1996. Manu Brajaki's 'Now, Your Turn, My Dear!' offers an intimate look at the crippling fear and tragedy that befall a couple. Bhaupanthi's 'The Senseless Killing of a Man' focuses on the gratuitous killing of a government officer. Maya Thakuri's 'The Descending Mountain' explores the grim reality of rural life during the conflict, and Padmavati Singh's 'The Silence of Violence' centers on the plight of a displaced village woman. Bhagirathi Shrestha's 'Execution' mingles the disturbed mental state and execution of its main character with the questionable war-time values of society. Sharmila Khadka's 'Sukanya, Alias Nilima' presents an injured officer's stream of consciousness during his hazy awakening after an attack, and Roshan Thapa's 'Unbearable' follows a man's emotional return to his razed village. In Khagendra Sangraula's 'Hareram's Mother', we suffer through an old woman's lamentation over the death of her son. Similarly, we endure the plight of a poor farmer in Ghanashyam Dhakal's 'Remorse'. In both Homshankar Bastola's 'The Shadow of a Gun' and Saral Sahayatri's 'We, Two Soldiers' we are presented with both sides of the war and its destructive ability to divide close friends. Mahesh Bikram Shah's 'Buddha in the Slaughterhouse' presents an eerie scene of death and depravity, reminiscent of Hitler's concentration camps. A young soldier observes a pregnant woman's murder in Nirmal Acharya's 'A Civil Servant's Diary', while Rajkumar Dikpal's 'Liwang, 2006' tells the harrowing tale of an old woman.Finally, we accompany a captive soldier on his march to death in Nawa Silwal's 'The Prisoner'.

Download or read book The Royal Ghosts written by Samrat Upadhyay and published by HMH. This book was released on 2006-02-09 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Startlingly good” stories of Nepali society set against the backdrop of violent Maoist insurgencies (San Francisco Chronicle). From an author like “a Buddhist Chekhov,” The Royal Ghosts features characters trying to reconcile their true desires with the forces at work in Nepali society (San Francisco Chronicle). As political violence rages, these people struggle with their duties to their aging parents, an oppressive caste system, and the complexities of arranged marriage, striving to find peace and connection, and often discovering it in unexpected places. These stories, from the Whiting Award–winning author of Arresting God in Kathmandu and The Guru of Love, brilliantly examine not only Kathmandu during a time of upheaval, crisis, and cultural transformation but also the effects of the city on the individual consciousness. “Like William Trevor, Samrat Upadhyay compresses into a short story the breadth of vision and human consequence we expect from a novel, and he does so in a prose that seems as natural as breathing.” —Scott Russell Sanders, author of A Private History of Awe “Takes us straight into the heart of the troubled and enchanting kingdom of Nepal.” —The Washington Post “Upadhyay’s not-so-simple stories are lucid and often luminous.” —Publishers Weekly

Download or read book City of Dreams written by Pranaya Sjb Rana and published by Rupa Publications India. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buildings, roads and bridges made up the city, Kanti knew that. So did trees, rivers and hills. But he had never quite thought about people. He was told that they, too, were integral parts of a metropolis; if Kathmandu were an organism, people were its red blood cells, navigating busily through road-veins and street-arteries. City of Dreams is set in the multifaceted, fast-changing Nepali capital, Kathmandu. And through a series of deftly woven short stories, it exposes the interaction of city-dwellers with this teeming, schizophrenic metropolis, caught in the tussle between tradition and modernity. In the title story, a Kathmandu native wanders the streets of his hometown and encounters a deep secret. In 'The Presence of God', a couple bickers about faith and ambivalence, only to be confronted with an event so inexplicable that it changes the very foundations of their argument. In 'Dashain' a young man's attempt to leap into adulthood goes horribly awry. And in 'The Smoker'-the only story set outside Kathmandu, in New York City-a writer begins his quest to craft the perfect narrative; yet, even here, the Nepali city is a shadowy presence. As Kathmandu becomes the protagonist of the collection, what we see emerge is not just the skeletal outline of the metropolis, a cartographer's map, but a capital of stories. City of Dreams is one of the most startling literary debuts in recent times.
