The Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats by William Butler yeasts - Om BooksAbout the Book :‘Inspired poetry, which in a highly artistic form gives expression to the spirit of a whole nation.’ The Nobel Committee described William Butler Yeats’s poetry as such when in 1923 it awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature to him. The first Irish writer so honoured. Born and educated in Dublin, Yeats (1865–1939) was not only an important figure in the Irish Literary Revival, but also a fervent Irish nationalist. A pillar of both Irish and British literary establishments in the 20th century, in his later years he served as an Irish senator for two terms. He assisted in founding the Abbey Theatre. The Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats showcases how he brilliantly made use of the saga of Celtic and Irish mythology, legends and personalities in his poems. Occultism was another. He took up personal themes too but he made it universal by relating it to the Irish folklore and mythology. His earliest volume of poetry was published in 1889. This definitive volume of Yeats’s poems maps his gradual transition from a romantic poet into a modernist one and documents how his poetry became darker, edgier and more concise in his later years.About the Author : Binding : Paperback Pages : 408 Genre/Categories : Poetry Size(W x H) MM : 129 x 198 Author : William Butler yeasts Language : English Publish Date : 10Apr2023 Legal Disclaimer: Product images are for illustrative purposes only.

Soumitra Chatterjee : A Film- Maker Remembers by Suman Ghosh - Om BooksAbout the Book :Despite performances that mesmerized the world for close to fifty years, Soumitra Chatterjee won his first National Award for Best Actor only in 2006. The film: Podokkhep. The director: Suman Ghosh. It marked the beginning of a professional relationship that resulted in some of the best films of the legendary actor’s final phase. And a personal bonding whereby the veteran thespian went on to become a friend, philosopher and guide to the young film-maker. In Soumitra Chatterjee: A Film-maker Remembers, Suman Ghosh goes down memory lane to provide a fascinating insight into his interactions with the actor. From the time he first met Soumitra Chatterjee on the sets of Goutam Ghose’s Dekha, where Suman was an observer, to creating remarkable cinematic moments in their five films together, to engaging with the actor on numerous addas on myriad subjects, the author paints a remarkable portrait of a relationship. How did Soumitra Chatterjee prepare for his role of an old man who becomes childlike in Podokkhep? What were his inputs that elevated the climaxes of Peace Haven and Basu Poribar? How did Soumitra Chatterjee and Mithun Chakraborty collaborate in Nobel Chor to overcome the problem the director faced with impending rain threatening to upset the day’s schedule?

The Counterfeiter : Abdul Karim Telgi and the Stamp Scam by Bhaswar Mukherjee - Om BooksAbout the Book :Telgi and the stamp scam? Didn’t that happen a quarter of a century ago? Why now? Because the complete story of the counterfeiter and scamster has never been told before. Because the story of the sheer innovation and audacity of an underdog needs to be told. Because the complex web of corruption involving lawmakers and law-keepers continues. Because the crime has all the overtones of a Bollywood potboiler, replete with chases, corrupt government officials and policemen, political chicanery, bar dancers and yes, a murder too! Because of the many unanswered questions that remain, so many years after the crime and the death of Abdul Karim Ladsaab Telgi in 2017. How was it possible for a man like Telgi to establish a pan-India ‘business’ in 74 cities and reach such dizzying heights of power and pelf, amassing a personal wealth of over Rs 17,000 crore while swindling the economy to the tune of Rs 25,000 crore? How did he manage to undermine the hallowed institutions of India? What was the size of the scam? How did CBI peg the figure at a mere fraction of the guesstimated amount? The Counterfeiter chronicles the audacious swindle by the flamboyant mastermind in a blow-by-blow account of its execution, investigation, charge sheets, legal developments, Telgi’s incarceration, trial, death – and finally exoneration.

Escape from Pakistan : A War Hero's Chronicle by Dara Phiroze Chinoy - Om BooksAbout the Book :As a young fighter pilot with the Indian Air Force, Dara Phiroze Chinoy found himself in the midst of the raging India–Pakistan War of 1965. The war may have ended in a stalemate but Chinoy emerged victorious when he escaped unhurt from the enemy territory, after his fighter-bomber aircraft was shot down by the Pakistan Army. He is the only Indian officer to ever do so in India’s recorded military history. His daring and death-defying escape from the clutches of the Pakistani forces is the stuff of legend. For this courageous act, he was presented the Vishisht Seva Medal by none other than Air Chief Marshal Arjan Singh. Escape from Pakistan is a chronicle of an officer and a gentleman and the various challenges he faced and overcame in the Air Force and later in the corporate sector when he was flying for the Tatas and the Ambanis. From training of Iraqi pilots in Saddam Hussein’s hometown in Tikrit, to his wife’s battle with schizophrenia, to dealing with his elder son’s drug addiction, Chinoy has seen it all. As Chinoy reflects upon his rather action-packed life, and an illustrious career of around 49 years, many facets of his personality are revealed—a devoted son, a loving husband, a doting father and an eternal crisis manager. As life threw one curveball after another his way, his never-say-die attitude, humility and sense of duty helped him to dodge all and expertly craft his destiny, and set an example for all of us to emulate.About the Author : Binding : Paperback Pages : 200 Genre/Categories : Non-Fiction/ Memoir Size(W x H) MM : 138 x 215 mm Author : Dara Phiroze Chinoy Language : English Publish Date : 28Feb2023 Legal Disclaimer: Product images are for illustrative purposes only.

The Originals Othello by William Shakespeare - Om BooksAbout the Book :“Look to her, Moor, if thou hast eyes to see: She has deceived her father, and may thee.” Othello (The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice) by English dramatist and national poet, William Shakespeare, was written in 1603–1604 and published in the First Folio of 1623. This five-act tragedy begins when the celebrated black general of Venice, Othello, appoints Cassio as his chief lieutenant instead of the soldier, Iago. Blinded by jealousy and resentment, Iago plots Othello’s downfall. He falsely accuses Othello’s wife Desdemona and Cassio of having a love affair. Iago gets ample help from Roderigo, who resents Othello’s fame as much as Iago, to carry out his evil plan. The villainous Iago manipulates everyone around him and exploits Othello’s sexual jealousy for his own gains. Because of the play’s enduring themes of racism, love, jealousy, betrayal, revenge, and repentance, Othello has been widely performed. It continues to appeal to theatre-goers across the world and has been adapted for the opera and the screen several times.About the Author : Binding : Paperback Pages : 136 Genre/Categories : Classic Fiction Size(W x H) MM : 129 x 198 Author : William Shakespeare Language : English Publish Date : 5Jan2023 Legal Disclaimer: Product images are for illustrative purposes only.

Hop, Skip and Jump: Peregrinations of a Diplomat's Wife by Reba Som - Om BooksAbout the Book :Reba Som has been an acclaimed author, academic, historian, singer, and a cultural ambassador. In Hop, Skip and Jump, she harnesses her multidisciplinary skills to narrate the many-layered story of her experiences as the wife of an IFS officer.Travelling abroad for the first time with her career diplomat husband, Himachal Som, as a twenty-two-year-old bride fresh out of college, Reba Som was thrust headlong into an alien universe. Over the next forty years she travelled all over the world with Himachal, negotiating the perks of diplomatic life along with its confounding challenges. Multiple postings, bringing up children, housekeeping, paltry allowances, being part of an incipient rebelliousness that brewed among spouses against the blanket ban imposed by the Ministry of External Affairs on their working abroad, anecdotes and trivia from travel in many countries, observations about multiple societies and cultures – there is little that escapes Reba Som’s keen eye and keener imagination.At the same time this is also an ardent ‘feminist’ enterprise.

Lakshmila : The Eternal Love Story by Shubhi Agarwal - Om BooksAbout the Book :“Don’t you question his love for me. I know what it is.When he resides in me how can you say he left me? Nothing can break the bond between two souls who are connected to each other. No matter how long they are apart, no matter what happens, they are always connected.” Urmila Set against the backdrop of the Ramayana, Lakshmila narrates the story of the selfless love between Lakshman and Urmila without whom the Ramayana would have been incomplete. But Lakshmila – the united entities of Lakhsman and Urmila – does not tell the world about their sacrifices; instead they speak of their love that becomes the cornerstone of their powerful and supreme sacrifice. Urmila is as important as Lakshman in the story. It lingers on the significant pauses in their relationship, unknown to the world, and gently drives home the unsung truth that the love between Lakshman and Urmila was unusual, divine, subtle and yet potent, carrying across lifetimes. Their love was a silent and selfless commitment, more of a spiritual connection. Lakshmila provides a detailed insight into the ‘what, how, when and why’ of every incident that took place during the Treta Yug in the Suryavanshi family, based on detailed research from the Valmiki Ramayana, Kamban Ramayana, Puranas and the different versions of the Ramayana.The fictional narrative is set in the context of a retelling of the epic from Lakshman and Urmila’s perspective of the events that went on to build the timeless tale.About the Author : Binding : Paperback Pages : 318 Genre/Categories : Fiction / Mythology Size(W x H) MM : 138 x 215 mm Author : Shubhi Agarwal Language : English Publish Date : 8Aug2022 Legal Disclaimer: Product images are for illustrative purposes only.

The Originals The Kiss and Other Stories by Anton Chekhov - Om BooksAbout the Book :Russian writer Anton Chekhov, full name Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904) is one of the greatest short story writers of world literature. Influenced by the venerated Russian masters, Nikolai Gogol and Fyodor Dostoevsky, Chekhov wrote hundreds of stories and novellas, tracing the trajectory of ordinary lives, capturing the vastness and backwardness of remote Russian provinces, shining the spotlight on bureaucratic apathy and corruption and the Russian obsession with rank, poignantly evoking a specific time and place through meticulous observation and telling detail. In Chekhov’s stories, an overt plot often hints at hidden stories, giving readers plenty of room to make use of their imagination. Chekhov displays deeply felt empathy and compassion for those who suffer misfortunes while managing to find human traits in the ones he dislikes. His canvas is wide – encompassing everything from happiness and intense suffering to slapstick humour.

The Originals A Room of One's Own - Unabridged Classics by Virginia Woolf - Om BooksAbout the Book :A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction. A Room of One’s Own, among Virginia Woolf’s best- known works, is an extended essay, based on two lectures that she delivered in October 1928 at Newnham College and Girton College, women’s constituent colleges at the University of Cambridge. First published in September 1929 as a book, this seminal feminist text makes a case for a literal and figurative space for women writers within a literary tradition dominated by men. Woolf feels strongly that the argument that women produce inferior works of literature must be analysed against the backdrop of their existence and circumstances—unlike men, historically and socially, women are denied the time, space and economic independence to produce artistic and creative works. Nearly a century after the publication of A Room of One’s Own, Virginia Woolf’s observation still seems to ring true.About the Author : Binding : Paperback Pages : 96 Genre/Categories : Classic Fiction Size(W x H) MM : 198 x 129 mm Author : Virginia Woolf Language : English Publish Date : 20Sep2023 Legal Disclaimer: Product images are for illustrative purposes only.

The Originals The Birth of Tragedy by Friedrich Nietzsche - Om BooksAbout the Book :In this sense the Dionysian man resembles Hamlet: both have once looked truly into the essence of things, they have gained knowledge, and nausea inhibits action. Celebrated German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s The Birth ofTragedy from the Spirit of Music was first published in 1872.The book was reissued in 1886 as The Birth of Tragedy, Or: Hellenism and Pessimism, prefaced by an essay titled An Attempt at Self-Criticism. In this seminal work of dramatic theory, which is divided into 25 chapters, Nietzsche explores the history of the tragic form as well as the nature of Greek tragedy and its development. He holds up Athenian tragedy as an art form that transcends the meaninglessness, nihilism, and disorder of the chaotic world. By watching tragedies and celebrating them, Greek audiences experienced fear and suffering and confronted life head-on.Tragedies helped them to find the deeper meaning of human existence. Nietzsche also shines a light on the differences between the Dionysian and the Apollonian in The Birth of Tragedy, emphasising that these two elements are constantly at war for control of human lives.About the Author : Binding : Paperback Pages : 158 Genre/Categories : Classic Fiction Size(W x H) MM : 129 x 198 Author : Friedrich Nietzsche Language : English Publish Date : 2Jan2022 Legal Disclaimer: Product images are for illustrative purposes only.

The Originals The Collected Poems of John Keats by John Keats - Om BooksAbout the Book :“You are a good young man,” she said. “But I do not like husbands. I will never have another.” British novelist George Eliot (pseudonym of Mary Ann Evans) painted a rich and vivid portrait of a small 19th-century town in her acclaimed novel, Middlemarch. Published in eight parts in 1871–72 and also published in four volumes in 1872, Eliot’s magnum opus delves into the lives of people belonging to various classes in Middlemarch—the landed gentry, clergy, farmers, labourers, and professionals. The narrative revolves around two central characters—Dorothea Brooke, an intelligent woman who marries the wrong man, and Tertius Lydgate, an ambitious, progressive doctor who also makes a costly mistake when choosing a mate. Eliot refused to bow to the dictates of tradition and ended her novel on a happy note as women writers of the time were expected to do. Rich in insight and layered with moral ambiguity, Middlemarch boldly lays bare the reality of matrimony.This quintessentially modern novel was hailed by pioneering modernist author Virginia Woolf as “one of the few English novels written for grown-up people.”About the Author : Binding : Paperback Pages : 804 Genre/Categories : Classic Fiction Size(W x H) MM : 198 x 129 mm Author : John Keats Language : English Publish Date : 15May2023 Legal Disclaimer: Product images are for illustrative purposes only.

The Original The Lost Jewels and other stories by Rabindranath Tagore - Om BooksAbout the Book :Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941) was a prolific writer during the colonial period and is acclaimed for his lyricism, colloquialism and naturalism. His stories explored socio-political hypocrisies, ethnical prejudices, class-based discrimination, stereotypical characters in a domestic set-up, and more in a largely conventional society. Through his work, he resisted the rigid linguistic moulds and modernised Bengali art. Be it the yearning to belong in ‘Kabuliwala,’ the supernatural mystery in ‘The Living and the Dead,’ the ways in which class affects humanity in‘The Postmaster’ or the impact of materialism in ‘The Lost Jewels’ — Tagore’s stories reflect a kaleidoscope of human emotions, firmly etched on a sensitive landscape. Withstanding societal evolution, his stories created a profound association between his characters and the readers. While almost eighty years have passed since his last contribution to literature, few names manage to evoke emotions as acute as Tagore’s. The Lost Jewels and Other Stories is a celebration of one of India’s greatest writers, with some of his most emblematic stories, in his inimitable style, language and humour including ‘The Home-Coming,’ ‘The Skeleton,’ ‘Giribala,’ and ‘The River Stairs.’About the Author : Binding : Paperback Pages : 487 Genre/Categories : Classic Fiction Size(W x H) MM : 129 x 198 Author : Rabindranath Tagore Language : English Publish Date : 16Jul2023 Legal Disclaimer: Product images are for illustrative purposes only.

Published in eight parts in 1871–72 and also published in four volumes in 1872, Eliot’s magnum opus delves into the lives of people belonging to various classes in Middlemarch—the landed gentry, clergy, farmers, labourers, and professionals. The narrative revolves around two central characters—Dorothea Brooke, an intelligent woman who marries the wrong man, and Tertius Lydgate, an ambitious, progressive doctor who also makes a costly mistake when choosing a mate. Eliot refused to bow to the dictates of tradition and ended her novel on a happy note as women writers of the time were expected to do. Rich in insight and layered with moral ambiguity, Middlemarch boldly lays bare the reality of matrimony.This quintessentially modern novel was hailed by pioneering modernist author Virginia Woolf as “one of the few English novels written for grown-up people.”About the Author : Binding : Paperback Pages : 804 Genre/Categories : Classic Fiction Size(W x H) MM : 198 x 129 mm Author : George Eliot Language : English Publish Date : 30Jan2023 Legal Disclaimer: Product images are for illustrative purposes only.

The Originals A Room with a view by E.M. Forster - Om BooksAbout the Book :It makes a difference doesn’t it, whether we fully fence ourselves in, or whether we are fenced out by the barriers of others? British writer E.M. Forster’s novel, A Room with a View (1908) revolves around Lucy Honeychurch, a young woman who lives in socially conservative Edwardian England.

Lucy’s journey to Italy with her prim and proper cousin, Charlotte Bartlett, is packed with adventure, romance, encounters with people from other cultures, and epiphanies. She falls in love with George Emerson during her stay in Italy, but back home in England, her fiancée is eagerly waiting for her return. Freedom and a whole range of possibilities beckon as Lucy tries to resolve the dilemma and build a new life for herself.About the Author : Binding : Paperback Pages : 192 Genre/Categories : Classic Fiction Size(W x H) MM : 198 x 129 mm Author : E.M.

The Originals Nostromo: A Tale of the Seaboard - Unabridged Classics by Joseph Conrad - Om BooksAbout the Book :“Government in general, any government anywhere, is a thing of exquisite comicality to a discerning mind.” Joseph Conrad’s Nostromo: A Tale of the Seaboard (1904) is set in Costaguana, a fictional South American republic with a troubled past. Both repression and revolution are written into the lives of the residents of Costaguana. When wealthy businessman Charles Gould offers his support to a ruthless Latin American dictator in the hope of advancing his own business interests, his actions trigger more chaos in Costaguana. Gould turns to the incorruptible Nostromo for help. Though Nostromo heroically saves his city from the deadly advances of revolution, a dark secret threatens to destroy his life and reputation forever. Seeped in drama and spectacle, vivid in description, and incisive in terms of social and political commentary, Nostromo is one of Conrad’s most ambitious novels. The winner of both popular and critical acclaim, this novel remains a topical read because of Conrad’s foresight, political acumen, and his gift for crafting a moving, human story set against the churnings of history.About the Author : Binding : Paperback Pages : 430 Genre/Categories : Classic Fiction Size(W x H) MM : 198 x 129 mm Author : Joseph Conrad Language : English Publish Date : 30Jan2023 Legal Disclaimer: Product images are for illustrative purposes only.

The Originals Far from the Madding Crowd - Unabridged Classics by Thomas Hardy - Om BooksAbout the Book :“Love is a possible strength in an actual weakness.” British novelist Thomas Hardy’s popular novel, Far From the Madding Crowd was published anonymously in serialized form in The Cornhill Magazine in 1874 and in book form under Hardy’s name the same year. Set in Wessex, the story revolves around Bathsheba Everdene, the owner of a small farm, and her relationships with three suitors–the handsome and flighty soldier, Sergeant Troy whom Everdene marries; the obsessive farmer, William Boldwood; and the steadfast and loving shepherd, Gabriel Oak who eventually becomes Everdene’s second husband. Imbued with an authentic sense of place, the novel brings the pastoral setting of Wessex alive. Hardy manages to weave together strands of comedy, melodrama, and tragedy with consummate skill while tracing the trajectory of Everdene’s tempestuous life and loves. The novel’s sensitive exploration of the many shades of love–selfless, loyal, fleeting, abusive, darkly obsessive– has endeared itself to readers over the years. It has been adapted for both the stage and screen with phenomenal success.About the Author : Binding : Paperback Pages : 380 Genre/Categories : Classic Fiction Size(W x H) MM : 198 x 129 mm Author : Thomas Hardy Language : English Publish Date : 30Jan2023 Legal Disclaimer: Product images are for illustrative purposes only.
