Shake the Bottle and other Stories by Ashapurna Debi - Om Books CHF 25.20 CHF 36.00 Save 30%
Shake the Bottle and other Stories by Ashapurna Debi - Om BooksAbout the Book :Ashapurna Debi gazed into the heart of the domestic life of the Indian woman as no other writer in the world has done. In one story after another, numbering into thousands by the time she was done, she examined the imprisonment of the women within their homes and their responses to the power play, pressures and hypocrisies lying beneath the surface of the apparent solidity of the middle-class urban family. Nobody has written as relentlessly, with as much insight and yet with as light a touch, of the darkness of both the interior and the behavioural life within the four walls of the home. Over more than 70 years of a writing career, she created an extraordinary oeuvre, whose depths will be mined for generations. Twenty-one of Ashapurna Debi’s most shocking stories, cherry-picked from over a thousand, have been brought together in this collection. Why these stories in particular? Each of them unravels an unexpected, even dreadful, side to the personalities of the women who feature in them. In every story, a deceptively quiet but potentially explosive act of revolt takes place – or comes close to taking place. Far from the sweet and submissive stereotype of the wife/mother/daughter/woman of the house that familial structures have enforced, it is the rebellious side of the woman, often forced to emerge through cruelty, viciousness and even hatred, that stands revealed. these are scandalous stories, each one of them.About the Author :Prominent Bengali novelist, short story writer and poet, Ashapurna Debi was one of the first women writers to claim a position in a literary canon, otherwise, dominated by the standards set by male writers. Born on 8 January 1909, her childhood was spent within the confines of a conservative household. Married 15 to Kalidas Gupta, she lived in the times of social and political restlessness.In her career spanning 70 years, Ashapurna wrote extensively about the private lives of her characters within middle-class Bengali households. Best remembered for her magnum opus, the trilogy, Prathom Protishruti, Subarnolata and Bakul Katha, she published her first poem in a children’s magazine at the age of 13.Ashapurna was felicitated with the Jnanpith Award and the Padma Shri, thereafter, in 1976. She breathed her last on 13 July 1995.Arunava Sinha translates classic, modern and contemporary Bengali fiction and non-fiction into English.

As wigs become a crucial part of Sophie�s new life, she reclaims a sense of self-expression. Each of Sophie�s nine wigs makes her feel stronger and gives her a distinct personality, and that is why each has its own name: Stella, Sue, Daisy, Blondie, Platina, Uma, Pam, Lydia, and Beb�. There�s a bit of Sophie in all of them, and they reveal as much as they hide. Sophie is determined to be much more than a cancer patient. With refreshing candour and a keen eye for the absurd, Sophie van der Stap�s The Girl With Nine Wigs makes you smile when you least expect it.About the Author :Sophie van der Stap was 21 years-old when she was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. A striking, fun-loving student, overnight her world was reduced to the sterile confines of a hospital. But within these walls Sophie discovered a whole new world of white coats, gossiping nurses, and sexy doctors. Of shared rooms, hair loss, and eyebrow pencils. Sophie wrote of her experiences in her refreshingly candid book, The Girl with Nine Wigs. When it was originally published in The Netherlands in 2006, it became an instant bestseller and won the Bart Prize for “Making the Impossible Possible.” It also stormed the charts internationally. The Academy Award-winning producer Andreas Bareiss is currently adapting The Girl with Nine Wigs into a film.Sophie is currently working on two novels.Sophie is now 32 years-old and has lived for many years in Paris. Her cancer is in complete remission. She still occasionally wears wigs.
