DEATH BY WATER

By Kenzaburo Oe ( Winner of Nobel Prize for Literature). Atlantic Books-An imprint of Atlantic Books 2015 , For the first time in his long life, Nobel-laureate Kogito Choko is suffering from writer's block. The book that he wishes to write would examine the turbulent relationship he had with his father, and the guilt he feels about being absent the night his father drowned in a storm-swollen river; but how to write about a man he never really knew? When his estranged sister unexpectedly calls, she offers Choko a remedy - she has in her possession an old and mysterious red trunk, the contents of which promise to unlock the many secrets of the man who disappeared from their lives decades before. Review Praise for "Death by Water" One of the "San Francisco Chronicle"'s Best Books of the Year "[Oe s] an eloquent spokesman for a generation that can remember, vividly and viscerally, all sides of Japan s ambiguitiesa generation that s beginning to exit the stage. . . . The combination of this seriousness with a fearsome, graphic candortrained on himself most of allmakes him formidable, whether he s describing the challenges of being a parent or the sins of history. . . . A thoughtful reprise of a lifetime of literary endeavor. . . . You have to admire his serene and total conviction." Janice P. Nimura, "New York Times Book Review" "The densest and most rewarding 432 pages you ll experience this year . . . a wild ride of epic proportions . . . an absorbing, complex collage of multi-layered prose, poetic reference, memories and dreams . . . an essential revelation." Terry Hong, "Christian Science Monitor" "[Oe s] novels continue to bewilder and amaze . . . "Death by Water" masterfully captures the vertigo of [an] old writer s vivid inner world. That he accomplishes this while also looking outwardexploring the state of a nation and the passing of a generation, and what stands to be lost in the processis nothing short of remarkable." Gregory Leon Miller, "San Francisco Chronicle" "An epic . . . Oe grapples with the idea of duty to family, self, and country but is firmly critical of glamorizing the past." "Elle" "[A] deeply layered portrait of an elderly man blown backward into the future, his eyes planted squarely on the past." NPR "It s taken six years for this big novel by Japanese Nobel laureate Oe to reach Anglophone readers, but that wait has been for something immensely worthwhile . . . it is enchanting." "Booklist" (starred review) "[A] pensive novel, at once autobiographical and philosophical. . . . It's vintage Oe: provocative, doubtful without being cynical, elegant without being precious." "Kirkus Reviews" "Layered and reflexive . . . Told in echoing and overlapping accounts of conversations, telephone calls, and stage performances, Oe s deceptively tranquil idiom scans the violent history of postwar Japan and its present-day manifestations, in the end finding redemption." "Publishers Weekly"" About the Author Considered one of Japan's leading post-war writers, Kenzaburo Oe has won almost every major international honour, including the 1989 Prix Europalia and the 1994 Nobel Prize for Literature. He lives in Tokyo. 9780857895455

WHEN BREATH BECOMES AIR

By Paul Kalanithi. Random House 2016 , At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade’s worth of training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, and the next he was a patient struggling to live. And just like that, the future he and his wife had imagined evaporated. When Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi’s transformation from a naïve medical student “possessed,” as he wrote, “by the question of what, given that all organisms die, makes a virtuous and meaningful life” into a neurosurgeon at Stanford working in the brain, the most critical place for human identity, and finally into a patient and new father confronting his own mortality. What makes life worth living in the face of death? What do you do when the future, no longer a ladder toward your goals in life, flattens out into a perpetual present? What does it mean to have a child, to nurture a new life as another fades away? These are some of the questions Kalanithi wrestles with in this profoundly moving, exquisitely observed memoir. Paul Kalanithi died in March 2015, while working on this book, yet his words live on as a guide and a gift to us all. “I began to realize that coming face to face with my own mortality, in a sense, had changed nothing and everything,” he wrote. “Seven words from Samuel Beckett began to repeat in my head: ‘I can’t go on. I’ll go on.’” When Breath Becomes Air is an unforgettable, life-affirming reflection on the challenge of facing death and on the relationship between doctor and patient, from a brilliant writer who became both. 9780812988406

NEW YORK STORIES: LANDMARK WRITING FROM FOUR DECADES OF NEW YORK MAGAZINE

By Fishman, Steve.. New York : Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2008 , "Random House trade paperback original"--P. [4] of cover. The magazine that is the city that is the world Just in time for its fortieth anniversary, New York magazine presents a stunning collection of some of its best and most influential articles, stories that captured the spectacle, the turbulence, and the cultural realignments of the past four decades. Covering subjects from “Radical Chic” to Gawker.com, written by some of the country’s most renowned authors, here are works that broke news, perfectly captured the moment, or set trends in motion. In New York Stories, Gloria Steinem (whose Ms. Magazine was introduced in New York) broaches the subject of women’s liberation; Tom Wolfe coins “The Me Decade”; and Steve Fishman piercingly portrays the unwanted martyrdom of the 9/11 widows. Cutting edge features that invented terms like “brat pack” and “grup”; profiles of defining cultural figures including Joe Namath, Truman Capote, and long-shot presidential candidate Bill Clinton; and reports that inspired the acclaimed movies Saturday Night Fever, GoodFellas, and Grey Gardens–all are included in this one-of-a-kind compilation. The writers who chronicled the times that began with Nixon’s campaign and end with Obama’s are at their best in New York Stories. It’s an irresistible anthology from a magazine that, like the city itself, is still making stars, setting standards, and going strong. 9780812979923 | 0812979923

POLITICS OF THE WOMB Perils of IVF ,Surrogacy & Modified Babies

By Pinki Virani. USA Viking-Penguin 2016 , Among life’s choices is to have children or remain childfree. Yet those who want a child and find themselves unable, live through the trauma of ‘infertility’—cruelly attributed as ‘their fault’—to undergo the tribulations of assisted reproductive technology. But how safe is aggressive Ivf, invasive Icsi, exploitative ovarian hyper-stimulation and commercial surrogacy? Politics of the Womb proves that there can be broken babies and breaking mothers; It rips away the romanticism around uterus transplants, warns of genetic theft and ‘designer babies’ and points to the human element being sacrificed, as artificial reproduction uses, reuses and recycles the woman. Pinki Virani combines investigation with analysis to question those who lead the worldwide onslaught on the woman’s womb in the name of babies and squarely confronts what has become the business of baby-making by a chain of suppliers that manufactures on demand. Written in a manner accessible to all, here finally is a path-breaking book which speaks up, in no uncertain terms, for the right to informed choice on responsible reproduction. About the Author Pinki Virani has worked her way up in journalism from beat reporter to special correspondent to launching a magazine. She is India’s first woman editor of an eveninger. As an award-winning author, her four bestsellers have earned acclaim: ‘Aruna’s Story changes the face of Indian writing for all time’; ‘Once Was Bombay is a brave, unsparing book about the decline of a city’; ‘Bitter Chocolate is a chilling must-read for parents and all who love children’; ‘Profound and profane, all at once: Deaf Heaven is ingeniously structured in its style of storytelling’. As an activist, her contributions have led to landmark legislation. 9780670088720

CONSTRUCTIVE PARLIAMENTARIAN

By Vajpayee, Atal Bihari. New Delhi : Ocean Books, 2012 , Includes index. Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee has dedicated over sixty years of his life in service of the country. He served the country as member of Parliament for five decades and as Prime Minister of India for six years. He is an orator par excellence, whose speeches are listened with attention by friends and foes inside and outside Parliament. He used the Parliament as an educational forum as well as political weapon and enhanced the prestige of parliamentary institution. He did not mince words when criticism is due or warning necessary. But his criticism has not hurt his opponents. His sharp intellect and wit is almost tailor-made for parliamentary debate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To mark the 87th birthday of former Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, a collection of the bills presented by him in Parliament A CONSTRUCTIVE PARLIAMENTARIAN will be released by his close associate, Senior BJP leader and former Deputy Prime Minister Shri LK Advani on 25th December, 2011 at 5.00 pm at Siri Fort Auditorium, New Delhi in the august presence of Senior leaders Shri Nitin Gadkari, Smt Sushma Swaraj, Shri Arun Jaitley, Shri Sharad Yadav, Shri Manohar Joshi to name a few. The collection, edited by Dr. N.M. Ghatate and published by Ocean Books, New Delhi is organised into four parts, containing Amendments to Constitution, various Acts and Bills introduced by Shri Vajpayee in Parliament. Part-I – Judiciary and Fundamental Rights; Part-II – Electoral Reforms; Part-III – Welfare Legislation and Part-IV – Other Important Legislation. As a Prime Minister, Atalji also proved to be an achiever par excellence. He gave nuclear dimension to India’s military power without fear of sanctions but also established close friendly relations with President Clinton of the U.S. and other neighbouring nations. His domestic achievements were starting highway quadrangle with rural road connectivity, Chandrayan programme, linking rivers to solve irrigation and flood problems, cheap and speedy communication system and establishing ‘Sagar Mala’ to connect 4000 kms. of coast-line. He made India a food grain exporter, a major out-sourcing country and enriched the country with over billion dollar foreign exchange reserves. However his constructive role as a Parliamentarian is hidden in the documents of Parliament and is not so well-known. He introduced 22 Bills in all including 20 when in opposition of which nine were Constitutional Amendment Bills and 2 when he was the Foreign Minister of India. They show his painstaking exercise in strengthening the democratic foundation of our country, his deep concern for health and welfare of the people, faith in independence of judiciary, taming money power in elections and above all human touch towards weak and handicapped people. The fact that some Bills were accepted or rejected or could not come for discussion and lapsed because of dissolution of Parliament is of little significance. In the Foreword to this book, Advaniji writes, “Atalji never hesitated to voice the opinion of the man standing on the lowest rung of the society. He presented many bills in the Parliament, for the welfare of this common man. It gives me great pleasure that the original forms of the bills presented by Atalji in the Parliament and the debate on them, after being edited by Appa Ghatate, are being published. With the publication of this edition, viewpoints of Atalji and his contemporary Parliamentarians will be available for generations to come.” 9788184301182 | 8184301189

LONELY TIGER

By Allen,Hugh. New Delhi Rupa 2014 , ‘The Lonely Tigeris essential reading for those who love the wilderness.’ -Valmik Thapar ‘[…] I saw that he was staring intently at a leaf blowing over the surface and drifting towards him. When it came within reach he started to dab at it with his right front paw,but with a touch so gentle that his pad was the merest caress on the tiny tip of its curled-up sail. From that moment,I always called him the Lonely Tiger. After being discharged from the British Armed Forces at the end of the Second World War,Hugh Allen-and his widowed sister Babs-decided on impulse to settle down on an estate in Mandikhera,an obscure village in central India,hoping to live the quiet life of a farmer. But even as his crops flourished,they suffered the attentions of the hungry denizens of the surrounding forest. Allen was thus compelled to take up arms to defend his crops and,occasionally,the villagers of Mandikhera The Lonely Tiger recounts Allen’s encounters with animals of all kinds: snappish tigers in heat,a wounded,angry leopard,a surly,murderous boar,chattering,helpful monkeys,an enraged shebear protecting her cubs,and a melancholy tiger that has lost his family to poachers. Hugh Allen narrates his adventures in spare,taut and thrilling prose which brings the jungle-and the hunt-to pulsating life. And while The Lonely Tigris one of the best shikar books to have been ever written,it is also one of the earliest appeals to conserve India’s rapidly vanishing wildlife. Appearing in print after a hiatus of more than half a century,The Lonely Tigris a must read. Interesting facts With a foreword by author and publisher David Davidar,The Lonely Tigeris a treasure house of thrilling encounters that the author had with wildlife in the very heart of India. Back in print after many years,this is a beautiful hardback edition of one of the best books to have been written about the Indian tiger. Narrated in Allen’s taut yet lyrical prose,The Lonely Tigeris a must-read for all those interested in India’s fauna. As one of the earliest books to appeal for the conservation of India’s rich and varied wildlife,The Lonely Tiger has great relevance in today’s age of animals being poached and endangered. 9788129131256

EXILE

By Nasrin,Taslima. USA Hamish Hamilton - Penguin 2016 , On 21 November 2007, the city of Kolkata came to a rude, screeching halt as a virulent mob of religious fanatics took to the streets. Armed with a fatwa from their ideologues, the mob demanded that Taslima Nasrin leave the city immediately. While the police stood watching, mere dumb witnesses to such hooliganism, a morally, intellectually and politically bankrupt Left Front government, tottering under the strain of their thirty-year-old backward-looking rule, decided to ban her book and drive her out of the city she has always considered her second home. This inextricable nexus of petty political conspiracies, vote bank politics and minority appeasement saw Taslima being hurriedly shifted, first to Jaipur and then to Delhi, confined to an obscure safe house and facing incessant pressure from senior officials and politicians to leave India. Set against a rising tide of fundamentalism and intolerance, Exile is a moving and shocking chronicle of Taslima Nasrin’s struggles in India over a period of seven months. Dark, provocative and at times surreal, it will resonate powerfully with readers in the present socio-political scenario. About the Author Taslima Nasrin, eminent writer and secular humanist, is known for her powerful writings on women’s rights and unflinching criticism of religious fundamentalism, despite forced banishment and multiple fatwas calling for her death. She has been living in exile since 1994. 9780670088744

LEVELS OF LIFE

By Barnes,Julian. London Vintage 2013 , Julian Barnes, author of the Man Booker Prize–winning novel The Sense of an Ending, gives us his most powerfully moving book yet, beginning in the nineteenth century and leading seamlessly into an entirely personal account of loss—making Levels of Life an immediate classic on the subject of grief. Levels of Life is a book about ballooning, photography, love and loss; about putting two things, and two people, together, and about tearing them apart. One of the judges who awarded Barnes the 2011 Booker Prize described him as “an unparalleled magus of the heart.” This book confirms that opinion. “Spare and beautiful...a book of rare intimacy and honesty about love and grief. To read it is a privilege. To have written it is astonishing.” —Ruth Scurr, The Times of London “A remarkable narrative that is as raw in its emotion as it is characteristically elegant in its execution.” —Eileen Battersby, The Irish Times --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Booklist Barnes, who won the Man Booker Prize for his most recent novel, The Sense of an Ending (2011), is a stealthy essayist. His tone is urbane and wry, his style pared and sure, but his emotions are stormy. As in his previous essay collection, Nothing to Be Frightened Of (2008), death is Barnes’ theme. Though one wouldn’t think so at the outset as he describes three nineteenth-century balloon flights in England and France enjoyed by three intriguing, eventually interconnected “balloonatics.” There’s rascally Colonel Fred Burnaby; Félix Tournachon, better known as Nadar, the pioneering aerial and portrait photographer; and the “Divine” Sarah Bernhardt. Barnes muses on why being airborne is exhilarating, in spite of one’s being at the mercy of “wind and weather.” The profound metaphorical resonance of Barnes’ fascination with ballooning emerges as he addresses the sudden death of his wife of 30 years and his painful plunge into mourning. This bright wand of a book is testimony to Barnes’ commanding artistry, delving intelligence, and high imagination as he writes of being “griefstruck” with stunningly vital and tonic perception. --Donna Seaman Review “An unforgettable book…Visceral, exquisitely crafted, thoughtful and heartbreaking.” —Ellan Allfrey, NPR Best Books of the Year “Deeply stirring....The metaphoric intensity of what has come before gives Barnes's account of his grief a fierce and fiery kind of momentum.” —John Freeman, The Boston Globe “Stunning. . . . Levels of Life is deceptively compact but takes us deep. It is as intimate a book as Barnes has ever written, but its beauty—and art—comes from elegant restraint [and] a perspective never seen before.” —Ellen Kanner, The Miami Herald “A moving tribute to a love and lifelong partner, an examination of grief that personalizes universal emotion effortlessly and beautifully.” —Alexandra Primiani, New York Daily News “Barnes has distilled his grief—refined and compacted it—and the result is a powerful dirge and slender but shapely work of art.” —Adam Begley, The Daily Beast “A powerful meditation on things that lift us up—literally, as in hot air balloons, and emotionally, as in love—and things that bring us crashing to earth.” —Heller McAlpin, NPR “Searching, angry, plangent and beautiful. . . . Only a writer of Barnes's stature could sublimate personal pain into something artistically exquisite.” —Malcolm Forbes, Minneapolis Star Tribune Biography Julian Barnes is the author of nine novels, including Metroland, Flaubert's Parrot, A History of the World in 10 ½ Chapters, England, England and Arthur and George, and two collections of short stories, Cross Channel and The Lemon Table 9780099584537

CHILE : The Other September 11

By Aguilera,Pilar (ed.). New Delhi Left Word Books, 2016 , I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its own people.'Henry KissingerThe idea of an 'other' September 11 must seem incredible to some. But as Ariel Dorfman comments: 'During the last 28 years, September 11 has been a date of mourning, for me and millions of others.' This book reclaims that other September 11, when the Chilean armed forces, under Pinochet, ousted the democratically-elected government of President Allende in a coup. It reminds us that the horror visited upon the Chilean people on that day and for nearly two decades thereafter was a result of continuous U.S. involvement in that country. As the U.S., after its own September 11, has embarked on an ambitious and brutal imperial offensive, it is important to remind ourselves that the history of this imperialism goes back a long way, as does the history of resistance to it. 9788187496397

NETAJI : living dangerously /

By Kingshuk Nag. New Delhi Paranjoy Guha Thakurta 2016 , Did Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose die in an air crash in Taihoku(Taipei, Taiwan) on 18 August 1945? was he sent off to Siberia by Joseph Stalin ? Did he die there ? Or did he escape ? Or was he let off, eventually to make his way back to India? Was he the mysterious Gumnami Baba of Faizabab, Uttar Pradesh ? If so, how did he find his way back ? Why did Bose leave India when he did ? Was it on account of his political approach, which was opposed by the then high command of the Congress party that wanted a quick transfer of power from the British ? The past comes alive as journalist and author Kingshuk Nag seeks answers to these and related questions at a time when there is a considerable renewal of interest in Netaji's fate, what with old records tumbling out, the latest being the declassification of sixty-four files on the subject by the West Bengal government. Will the Union government make public the records that it holds, as has been stated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi ? Will the governments in Moscow and London be approached for new leads? 9789384439620 (paperback) | 9384439622 (paperback)

BLOOD ON THE PAGE : a murder, a secret trial and a search for the truth /

By Harding, Thomas. London William Heinemann 2018 , Summary In June 2006, police were called to 9 Downshire Hill in Hampstead to investigate reports of unusual card activity. The owner of the house, Allan Chappelow, was an award-winning photographer and biographer and a notorious recluse, who had not been seen for several weeks. Inside they found piles of rubbish, trees growing through the floor, and, in what was once the living room, the body of Chappelow, battered to death and buried under four feet of page proofs. The man eventually convicted of his murder was a Chinese dissident named Wang Yam: the grandson of one of Mao's closest aides and a key negotiator in the Tiananmen Square protests. His trial was the first in the UK to be held 'in camera': behind closed doors, and without access to the press or public. Yam has always protested his innocence - admitting to the card fraud, but claiming no knowledge of the murder. In investigating the case, Harding has unearthed some revelatory material, outlining an extraordinary tale of isolation, deception, espionage and brutal violence. 9781785151057 | 1785151053 | 9781785151040 | 1785151045

AND NOW AND HERE : Beyond the Duality of Life and Death

By Osho. USA Penguin 2018 , 'All our lives we are running. What are we running from? What is the fear? The fear is that on the one hand we are unable to live fully, and on the other hand the fear of death is imminent, present. Both things are interconnected . . . then what is the answer?' Osho Most of us look for security in our relationships and in our choice of living and working conditions. Underlying this search for security is a deep, instinctive fear of death, which continually colours our lives and drives our focus outward, toward survival. But we also have a longing to turn inward, to relax deeply within ourselves, and experience the sense of freedom and expansion this brings. With this book the reader can start an exploration of his or her inner world. Osho debunks the myths and misunderstandings around death and invites us to experience our eternal inner space that is now and here. 9780143446576

LAST MILE

By Baldacci,David . London Pan Books 2016 , A gripping thriller from David Baldacci, The Last Mile is perfect for fans of Lee Child and James Patterson. Memories can be a real killer. Melvin Mars awaits his fate on Death Row. He was one of America's most promising football stars until, aged twenty, he was arrested and convicted for the murder of his parents just as he was due to begin a very lucrative contract with the NFL. When Amos Decker, newly appointed special agent with the FBI, hears the news that Melvin was saved in the final seconds before his execution because someone has confessed to the killings, he persuades his boss to allow him to carry out an investigation into the Mars murders. There are facts about the case which don't add up, and as the investigation deepens, Decker and his team uncover layer upon layer of lies and deception which are rooted at a time in American history which most would rather forget, but some seem keen to remember. There is someone out there with a lot to hide, and a secret that everyone is looking for. A race against time ensues because, when revealed, that information threatens to tear apart the corridors of power at the very highest level. The case proves to be life-changing for both Mars and Decker in ways that neither could ever have imagined. The Last Mile is the second in the Amos Decker series, following Memory Man. 9781447277538

AUTUMN LIGHT : Season of Fire and Farewells

By Iyer,Pico. USA Viking 2019 , "From one of our most astute observers of human nature, a far-reaching exploration of Japanese history and culture and a moving meditation on impermanence, mortality, and grief. For years, Pico Iyer has split his time between California and Nara, Japan, where he and his Japanese wife Hiroko have a small home. But when his father-in-law dies suddenly, calling him back to Japan earlier than expected, Iyer begins to grapple with the question we all have to live with: how to hold onto the things we love, even though we know that we and they are dying. In a country whose calendar is marked with occasions honoring the dead, this question is more urgent than anywhere else. Iyer leads us through the year following his father-in-law's death, introducing us to the people who populate his days: his ailing mother-in-law, who often forgets that her husband has died; his absent brother-in-law, who severed ties with his family years ago but to whom Hiroko still writes letters; and the men and women in his ping pong club, who, many years his senior, traverse their autumn years in different ways. And as the maple leaves begin to redden and the heat begins to soften, Iyer offers us a singular view of Japan, in the season that reminds us to take nothing for granted" 9780670092215

10 MINUTES 38 SECONDS IN THIS STRANGE WORLD

By Shafak,Elif . UK Viking 2019 , The new novel from the best-selling author of The Bastard of Istanbul. 'In the first minute following her death, Tequila Leila's consciousness began to ebb, slowly and steadily, like a tide receding from the shore. Her brain cells, having run out of blood, were now completely deprived of oxygen. But they did not shut down. Not right away . . . ' Our brains stay active for ten minutes after our heart stops beating. For Tequila Leila, each minute brings with it a new memory: growing up with her father and his two wives in a grand old house in a quiet Turkish town; watching the women gossip and wax their legs while the men went to mosque; sneaking cigarettes and Western magazines on her way home from school; running away to Istanbul to escape an unwelcome marriage; falling in love with a student who seeks shelter from a riot in the brothel where she works. Most importantly, each memory reminds Leila of the five friends she met along the way - the friends who are now desperately trying to find her. 9780241293874

It was only after passing through this transitory turbulence that modern society emerged there. Justice Markanday Katju, former judge of the Supreme Court, says that India is going through a similar time in history.
