Prakash Books India Private Limited. Paperback. NEW. This book has been in the making for nearly a decade.

Fortunately, this asset was worth its weight in gold for it is my karma to unveil the secrets of the land of my birth to travellers from across the planet.

Juggernaut. Paperback. NEW. North Sentinel Island is a secluded piece of land situated in the vast Indian Ocean. It is home to a reclusive tribe that has very limited interaction with the modern world. The island is located on the outskirts of the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago and gained international attention in 2018 due to a tragic incident. An American missionary, carrying a Bible, attempted to visit the island but was met with hostility and ultimately killed by the islanders, who were armed with bow and arrows.

HarperCollins India. Paperback. NEW. Haunting and apocalyptic ... a literature of the future - SIDDHARTHA DEB Born in 1953 in Old Dhaka, Shahidul Zahir died young and published only six works in his lifetime -- but these are some of the most unique and powerful works of fiction to have come out of the subcontinent. With his own particular blend of surrealism, folklore, oral storytelling traditions, magic realism, a searing understanding of social and political reality, and rare clarity of vision, he forged a truly extraordinary voice. Life and Political Reality is the work that established his reputation and granted him cult status in Bangladesh. It examines the 1971 war and its aftermath -- a treatise on liberation, and the destruction of the idealism and spirit of post-war Bangladesh, told in a single corrosive, stream-of-consciousness paragraph. Abu Ibrahim's Death is a quieter companion novella, and one that is equally concerned with idealism and compromise, as it studies with deep empathy and… Read More
