of Florence

Salman Rushdie,

Rs. 595.00

This is the story of a woman attempting to command her own destiny in a man’s world. It brings together two cities that barely know each other, Mughal capital, in which the brilliant emperor wrestles daily with questions of belief, desire and the treachery of sons and the equally sensual Florentine world.

My Country My Life

L. K. Advani,

Rs. 595.00

This is a candid reflection on Advani himself, his party and his nation that is likely to engage readers in a tour de force with India’s leading statesman. In a country where political memoirs, especially by those who are still active in politics, are rare, this book is a landmark.

The World Is What

It Is

Patrick French,

Rs. 595.00

This is the story of Brida, a beautiful young Irish girl, and her quest for knowledge. On her journey she meets a wise man who teaches her about overcoming her fears, and a woman who teaches her how to dance to the hidden music of the world.

The Name

Is Rajnikanth

Gayathri Sreekanth, Rs. 495.00

The book is the result of extraordinary efforts of the author, who put in a lot of effort to go through the trials and tribulations of the super star in order to put together this book. She has woven numerous incidents into a kind of screenplay, which is stylish and well presented.

Unaccustomed

Earth

Jhumpa Lahiri,

Rs. 450.00

Everyone has their secrets. In her stunning new collection of stories, Jhumpa Lahiri gently lifts the veil to reveal how even the most ordinary lives have their dramas and tragedies and then, as gently, lets it fall back down again.

The Shape of

the Beast

Arundathi Roy,

Rs. 499.00

In the 14 interviews collected here, the author examines the nature of the state and corporate power as it has emerged during this period, and the shape that resistance movements are taking. Unabashedly political, this is also a deeply personal collection.
