The tribe hides the baby until he is stolen and given to a tour guide of the park, Arjun. Afraid of the consequences of taking the baby to the American embassy, Arjun adopts the child, gives him the name Kartik Shiv Yuvarajan, and then returns to his ancestral village.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION An extensive well-manicured lawn on the English speaking northern half of the imaginary lush tropical isle of Blue Horizon facilitates the staging of the beginning of an interactive narration lasting three days featuring three main characters among several others. The chief characters are Charley 'Charcoal' Cole - a witty and humorous corporate lawyer who's few years from being a sexagenarian, his friend, - a gorgeous and vivacious young mathematics teacher (Vivia Soucha) who's just about half of his age, and in whom he has a deep personal interest, Maynard Navarre (affectionately called Mo), - a native of the French speaking Department of the isle and who's meeting Charcoal for the first time. He's also the boyfriend of Charley's daughter, - Charlotte; and Dassa, - a warm and friendly young woman who suffers from a slight language disorder known as malapropism. Other characters include but not limited to the affable, ultra wealthy four times widowed Mrs. Fatima Moreton who owns at least ten percent of the properties on the isle, the famed couple Edward Blake (a cartoonist and marriage officer), his wife, - the beautiful Andrea Jules who loves singing especially to children, members of the Navarre family especially Maynard's exuberant and rambunctious fifteen year old nephew Antoine, Charley's handsome adult son, - Charleston, and the latter's sweetheart, - Carolina Southby. Oblivious to the hostess Mrs. Moreton, the organizing and staging of the social coincided with Valentine's day and what was expected to be a normal afternoon discussing the community's interests turned out to be a splendid occasion for couples and friends to reaffirm their love and commitment to each other's significant 'half.' It was also an opportune time for 'Charcoal' to cleverly calculate his every move in getting to Vivia's heart. She too had expectations and was fully prepared for any eventuality which brought an interesting end to day one. Arguably, day two, - a public holiday is the most entertaining for everyone, - many hours full of euphoric enjoyment including a large magical-like fair, sheer happiness at the races, a significant and fabulous birthday party, a spectacular beach get together and more. The story begins to unwind and ends on day three when the chief players are taken on an educational tour of the Navarre's extensive livestock and horse racing farms where they spend extended hours gaining knowledge, learning about farm animals and many and varied aspects of horse racing.

Book excerpt: Sometimes compared to the Saint-Tropez of Brigitte Bardot in the 1950s, Comporta, with its relaxed pace and artistic community, is the ideal destination for those looking to wander off course. It’s the newfound favorite of personalities such as Jacques Grange, Farida Khelfa, François Dumas, the Espírito Santo family, and Madonna, who shares photographs of taking her kids to the beach and horseback riding in the dunes of nearby Carvalhal on weekends. This fishing village boasts swaths of beaches, patchworks of rice paddies, and an ecosystem filled with storks and frogs, all a serene backdrop for the striking homes found there: rustic cabanas and thatched-roof huts reflecting the carefree lifestyle that has become Comporta’s hallmark. This distinctive setting challenges the minds of architects and designers, yielding unique spaces that delightfully blur the line between interior and exterior. Within these pages, the region’s characteristic cobalt blue is reflected from the sky and sea to the walls, shutters, and design pieces that adorn its homes, both picturesque and bold. Discover the beauty and joy of simplicity with Comporta Bliss

Download or read book In the Heart of the Country written by J. M. Coetzee and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A story told in prose as feverishly rich as William Faulkner's, In the Heart of the Country is a work of irresistable power. J.M. Coetzee's latest novel, The Schooldays of Jesus, is now available from Viking. Late Essays: 2006-2016 will be available January 2018. On a remote farm in South Africa, the protagonist of J. M. Coetzee's fierce and passionate novel watches the life from which she has been excluded. Ignored by her callous father, scorned and feared by his servants, she is a bitterly intelligent woman whose outward meekness disguises a desperate resolve not to become "one of the forgotten ones of history." When her father takes an African mistress, that resolve precipitates an act of vengeance that suggests a chemical reaction between the colonizer and the colonized—and between European yearnings and the vastness and solitude of Africa. With vast assurance and an unerring eye, J. M. Coetzee has turned the family romance into a mirror of the colonial experience.
