Download or read book Grandmother s Tale and Selected Stories written by R. K. Narayan and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2013-07-30 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is not too much to compare Mr. Narayan to Chekhov." -The New York Times There is no better introduction to R.K. Narayan than this remarkable collection of stories celebrating work that spans five decades. Characters include a storyteller whose magical source of tales dries up, a love-stricken husband who is told by astrologers he must sleep with a prostitute to save his dying wife, a pampered child who discovers that his beloved uncle may be an impostor or even a murderer. Standing supreme amid this rich assortment of stories is the title novella. Told by the narrator's grandmother, the tale recounts the adventures of her mother, married at seven and then abandoned, who crosses the subcontinent to extract her husband from the hands of his new wife. Her courage is immense and her will implacable -- but once her mission is completed, her independence vanishes. Gentle irony, wryly drawn characters, and themes at once Indian and universal mark these humane stories, which firmly establish Narayan as one of the world's preeminant storytellers.

Download or read book Brahma Creator Of The Universe Large Print written by Om Books Editorial Team and published by Om Books International. This book was released on 2015 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hindus consider Lord Brahma as the Creator of the Universe. Along with Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva, he forms the Holy Trinity. As creation is the work of the mind and the intellect, Lord Brahma symbolises the Universal Mind. From the standpoint of an individual, he symbolises one’s own mind and intellect. However, Lord Brahma has lost his claim to being a supreme deity. Today, there is no cult or sect that exclusively worships him, but there are a few temples dedicated to him. There are many myths around his origin and powers; his life reverberates with symbolism which needs to be understood. This beautifully-illustrated book explores all these aspects and serves as an excellent introduction to the Father of the gods, humans and demons.

She gets pregnant only to be spurned by her lover. To preserve her high born family’s name she leaves her sheltered existence and trudges through life on her own, first as a slave and then as a court dancer.
