₹525.00A montage of memories, legends and myths, the book discusses in detail, life and death, unnecessary egotism and man’s leaps before thought. To put it simply, it talks about the ebb and flow of human civilization as a whole. Ajoy Gupta’s soul-piercing style of writing, with hues of subtle humour echoes Gabriel Garcia Marquez as it reminds us, ‘Life is not what one lived, but what one remembers and how one remembers it in order to recount it’. This book beckons not fear of living, but a grand celebration of life.

₹325.00Many years after Baudelaire's aborted voyage to Calcutta, a child was born in a bylane of the city's suburb. He adopted a stray puppy and was himself adopted into a continent of words and images. One day, at a bend in the lane of his seedy, violence-torn neighbourhood, he discovered Garcia Marquez's Macondo. The magical journey has continued ever since: from cheap street fiction to Soviet-era literature, from the murky urban imagery of Jibananda Das's poetry to the cinema of Ingmar Bergman, it has taken him to a landscape that dreams up its own author, where a girl still waits amid the detritus of a lost civilization for the poet who had abandoned her. Genre-bending, and written in Parimal Bhattacharya's inimitable prose, Nahumer Gram O Onyanyo Museum celebrates artistic imagination in the teeth of dark times. Learn More -

₹325.00Instead of offering a neat, coherent ideological perspective, this book uses various conflicting strands of feminist, postcolonial and postmodern thought to comment on the politics of embodiment and its cultural implications. In an attempt to understand how the body is put into discourse and organized in multiple ways, the short prose fragments in this book deal with issues like voyeuristic gaze, masterbation, fetishism, nudity, objectification, ageing, body-mind dualism, forms of otherness, ingredients of intimacies in interpersonal spheres and altered states of consciousness. The issues range from these to the uses of the body as a contested space in matters relating to the ethos of ascetic purity, trends in esoteric cults, management of death and reproduction, practices of mindfulness as a form of self-care and the links between the performance of power and the constitution of self.

₹300.00Anthropocene is here. A climate crisis is knocking at our doors. In less than two decades, large parts of the earth will become uninhabitable, countless species will vanish, the global food system will collapse. How is this affecting the thinking mind? Are there keys to survival? Or, ways to become extinct peacefully? A concern for environment leads Parimal Bhattacharya to broader themes of uprooting, memories, civilization and man’s place on earth. He has trawled the writings of nearly 40 writers of different countries and times to piece together a fascinating, and timely, narrative of anxiety, despair, dreams and hope.
