Lisa See's 'Lady Tan's Circle of Women' is available wherever books are sold.

In 15th century China two women are born under the same sign, the Metal Snake. But life will take the friends on very different paths.

According to Confucius, ‘an educated woman is a worthless woman’, but Tan Yunxian – born into an elite family, yet haunted by death, separation and loneliness – is being raised by her grandparents to be of use. She begins her training in medicine with her grandmother and, as she navigates the male world of medicine, requiring tact and diplomacy, she struggles against the confining world of her class.

From a young age, Yunxian learns about women’s illnesses, many of which relate to childbearing, alongside a young midwife-in-training, Meiling. The two girls find fast friendship and a mutual purpose – despite the prohibition that a doctor should never touch blood while a midwife comes in frequent contact with it – and they vow to be forever friends, sharing in each other’s joys and struggles. No mud, no lotus, they tell themselves: from adversity beauty can bloom.

How might a woman like Yunxian break free of tradition, go on to treat women and girls from every level of society, and lead a life of such importance that many of her remedies are still used five centuries later? How might the power of friendship support or complicate these efforts? Lady Tan’s Circle of Women is a captivating story of women helping other women. It is also a triumphant reimagining of the life of a woman who was remarkable in the Ming dynasty and would be considered remarkable today.

Bahadur Shah of Gujarat: A King in Search of a Kingdom by Kalpish Ratna is out now and available wherever books are sold.

Time has forgotten Bahadur Khan. History has condemned him as a drunken wastrel and overlooked his military genius.

Part man, part horse; part Hindu, part Muslim; part Rajput, part Gujarati; what was he like, really, this rebellious young man?

A warrior born, why did he refuse the most vital battle in history?

Why did he surrender the islands of Bombay to two centuries of Portuguese rule?

This is the story of that renegade prince, Bahadur, Shah of Gujarat.

When Vasco da Gama lands near Kozhikode on 20 May 1498, he seems scant more than a visiting trader, just another discourteous barbarian, hardly a threat. But the aughts of the new century bring seismic change. Portuguese violence on the coast escalates and piracy menaces the Spice Route. Gujarat, richest among Indian kingdoms, nourished by her eighty-seven ports, feels the tremors.

It is a time of shifting loyalties. Sultans wage war on land and forge uneasy entente at sea. Borders are redrawn, new kingdoms and principalities take shape. In Dilli, the throne of Hindustan is up for auction, and everybody is bidding. Alliances form and dissolve between Rajput, Lodhi, and Sharqi, while from across the mountains glares the Chagtai, Zahiruddin Babar. Into this tense arena strolls a teenager, Bahadur, Prince of Gujarat, exiled for his wildness; at nineteen, famous already for his prowess in battle. As battle lines are drawn at Panipat, veterans hold their breath. They know the fortunes of Hindustan depend on this untried youngster.

In this powerfully imagined narrative, Kalpish Ratna recreates the obscure signposts of Bahadur's life drawing facts from Indian histories. The language sparkles, filigreed with lapidary skill. In various narrative styles, myth and legend blend metamagically with the tragic events of medieval history. Bahadur, masterfully delineated in chiaroscuro, reflects the confused loyalties of young Indians today. The story of this medieval prince belongs in our own times.

'In Praise of Laziness and other Essays" by Indrajit Hazra is coming soon this December!

Indrajit Hazra is an Indian journalist and author of the books 'The Bioscope Man' and 'Grand Delusions: A Short Biography of Kolkata'. He is Editor at Views, The Economic Times.

A cross between a collection of philosophical investigations and idle banter, In Praise of Laziness and Other Essays, is a celebration of what Milan Kundera defined as ‘Mystification: the active form of refusing to take the world seriously’. From an Erasmian encomium to laziness, a literary forensic report on the adult years of Sukumar Ray’s Pagla Dashu and Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn, the joys of staying indoors, to the exquisite pleasures of an electric blanket—and with a science fiction story on colonisation bunged in—this book is the equivalent of a meandering river in which the reader dips his or her toes in, not knowing whether a dolphin will come by or a piranha take a snap. This is a book that’s equal parts serious as well as frivolous, except you never quite know which parts are which.

'Krishna: Maha Vishnu Avatar' by Kevin .S. Missal is out now and available wherever books are sold.

What happened after the great war?

After the bloody war in which many heroes won and lost, Krishna, the avatar of Vishnu and the king of Dwarka, stood tall as a divine figure of justice and Dharma.

But forty years have passed since that day, and now little is known of the elusive god.

Pradhyuman, his firstborn son, now rules with an iron fist but his personal ambition seems to come in between. Will it redeem him or corrupt him further?

Balaram, the brother of Krishna, and the Prime Minister of Dwarka, must find a way to form an alliance between warring clans. But delusions of a giant snake haunt him at night. Will he learn more about himself or lose a part of his consciousness in the process?

Samva, Lord Krishna's secondborn son, has absconded from the pitiful duties of the empire to plan vengeance against someone he personally hates. But, to achieve his goal, he has to first find his father and learn the truth about his heritage. Will he forgive or pursue further?

And in the thick of it, stands as a majestic beacon, none other than Krishna--haunted by his past, weary of his future. Can he break the curse and free himself from the shackles of time?

From the chapters of the Mausala Parva, Kevin Missal reimagines the life and times of Lord Krishna in a brand new avatar. Set to be released on 22nd November, 2023, you'd not want to miss it!

Banka by Dipti R. Pattanaik, translated by Himansu S. Mohapatra is out now!

A tremendous portrait of the hopes and horrors, the threads of delicate perception and the pangs of fear and illusion, of a growing boy's life in a provincial town in Odisha. Banka Harichandan returns us to the unique atmosphere, at once particular and universal, of our own childhood.
- Chandrahas Choudhury, Author of Arzee the Dwarf and My Country Is Literature

Dipti Ranjan Pattanaik creates a masterly tale of coming of age in Odisha’s pious, rustic, heartlands. Deftly translated into English from Odia, "The Life
and Times of Banka Harichandan" carries the reader into a delightfully immersive experience of young Banka’s heady confrontation with adolescence—and with the relentless world of grown-ups…. Dispassionate and compassionate at the same time, ‘Banka Harichandan’ is a heart-warming tribute to the eternal reenactment of growing up.
- Paul Zacharia, Author of Bhaskara Patellar and Other Stories and The Reflections of a Hen in Her Last Hour and Other Stories

In this tour-de-force of a coming-of-age narrative, the story of an ordinary but precocious boy named Banka Harichandan is told afresh, using a mixture of childhood perception, idiolect, and anecdotes. The stories evoke a child’s restless and questioning mind constantly pushing against the restrictive limits of his placid and conformist times.

Presented in a series of discrete tales, the narrative—best thought of as a ‘composite novel’—takes the reader on an odyssey through the whole gamut of emotions that light up the passage from innocence to experience in a small-town, lower-middle-class setting. Unfolding at a leisurely pace and studded with epiphanies, The Life and Times of Banka Harichandan is a remarkable contribution from Odisha to literature centred on children.

Have you read Shakespeare's plays and sonnets?

If yes, then read 'Shakespeare Was a Woman and Other Heresies' by .

In Shakespeare Was a Woman and Other Heresies, journalist and literary critic Elizabeth Winkler sets out to probe the origins of this literary taboo. Whisking you from London to Stratford-Upon-Avon to Washington, DC, she pulls back the curtain to show how the forces of nationalism and empire, religion and mythmaking, gender and class have shaped our admiration for Shakespeare across the centuries. As she considers the writers and thinkers—from Walt Whitman to Sigmund Freud to Supreme Court justices—who have grappled with the riddle of the plays’ origins, she explores who may perhaps have been hiding behind his name. A forgotten woman? A disgraced aristocrat? A government spy? Hovering over the mystery are Shakespeare’s plays themselves, with their love for mistaken identities, disguises, and things never quite being what they seem.

If not, then read William Shakespeare: Famous Last Words by Darcy Reed and The Complete Works of William Shakespeare.

We are pleased to announce the acquisition of Pallavi Kamakshi Rebbapragada's NANDINI SATPATHY: THE IRON LADY OF ORISSA set to be released in 2024.

Pallavi Rebbapragada, Author, says, "Nandini Satpathy, a petite girl, went to Rajya Sabha at the age of 31. As I&B minister, she crossed borders to help India win the first ever information war that was '71. As I traced the life story of this former Chief Minister of her home state, I realised why she is remembered in Indian history as 'Indira Gandhi's close friend'. I searched every nook, scraped every page of every book, to put together this extraordinary life story of a woman barely known. Back in the '70s, two women in sambalpuri sarees sipped White Horse Whisky and ran a PMO full of men. A saga, waiting to be told!"

Himanjali Sankar, Editorial Director, Simon & Schuster India, adds, "We are very much looking forward to publishing this wonderfully well-written biography of Nandini Satpathy who became the Chief Minister of Orissa in 1972, making her the second woman Chief Minister of an Indian state. I was surprised that I didn’t know of her immense contribution to the political life of our country and her fascinating life – till I read Pallavi’s deeply researched manuscript. It’s an incredible story about a person and the times she lived in, that all of us need to hear and talk about."

The fascinating and timely quest of a longtime New York Times contributor to follow Mahatma Gandhi’s code of ethics in today’s world. In Becoming Gandhi, veteran journalist and author Perry Garfinkel sets out on a three-year quest to examine how Gandhi’s ideals have held up in a world beset with troubling trends. In one chilling admission, one of Gandhi’s own grandsons tells Garfinkel that humans will always retain a degree of violence. Where does this leave modern society? “When I despair,” the Mahatma had said, “I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won.” To many he was a beacon of hope, a true moral compass; to others, a divisive lightning rod for controversy. Featuring inspiring interviews, provocative reflections, and remarkable encounters, Becoming Gandhi shares new perspectives on this pivotal figure and why his teachings are needed like never before. #mahatmagandhi #gandhi #becominggandhi #jacarandapropaganda #perrygarfinkel #comingsoon #tobereleased #gandhism #gandhianphilosophy #gandhiji #gandhijayanti #gandhiquotes

We are pleased to do the cover reveal of Nandita Basu's THE SONG OF THE SKY TREE set to be released this October! “Our worlds separated in that one moment. Nothing was enough, not even the heart.” Those moments that define our lives, those times when we lose someone we love, or those when we realise who we really are as people. Set in the times when there were no cell phones and cassette players belted out your favourite songs, Vedika grows up with a brother who she battles with fiercely and often, a best friend in school who leaves with his family for another country so she has to learn to be alone once again, a sense of aloneness that comes from a sense of alienation and difference that she can never get rid of. A warm, funny, heartbreaking story of growing up in the 1980s and 90s, moving cities and becoming a vet which means so much to her because she understands animals more than she does human beings. Vedika meanders through life, trying to make sense of work, friendships, love and sexuality. But when things take a turn for the worse and she realizes she might lose more than she ever bargained for, she tries to grapple with all that’s gone wrong till she can learn to make her peace with the life she has.
