Arresting God in Kathmandu
Brilliantly exploring the nature of desire and spirituality in a changing society, Arresting God in Kathmandu records the echoes of modernization in love and family.
Husbands and wives bound together by arranged marriages, are driven elsewhere by the basic human desire for connection and transcendence in a city where gods are omnipresent, privacy is elusive and family defines identity. Psychologically rich and astonishingly acute, Arresting God in Kathmandu is a potent voice in contemporary fiction.

1984
Newspeak, Doublethink, Big Brother, the Thought Police – the language of 1984 has passed into the English language as a symbol of the horrors of totalitarianism. George Orwell’s story of Winston Smith’s fight against the all-pervading Party has become a classic, not the least because of its intellectual coherence. First published in 1949, it retains as much relevance today as it had then.

The Guru of Love

Upadhyay’s novel showcases his finest writing and his signature themes. The Guru of Love is a moving and important story—important for what it illuminates about the human need to love as well as lust, and for the light it shines on the political situation in Nepal and elsewhere.

“I’ve had a most amazing time….”
So begins the Time Traveller’s astonishing firsthand account of his journey 800,000 years beyond his own era—and the story that launched H.G. Wells’s successful career and earned him his reputation as the father of science fiction.

Published in 1895, this masterpiece of invention captivated readers on the threshold of a new century. Thanks to Wells’s expert storytelling and provocative insight, The Time Machine will continue to enthrall readers for generations to come.
