• Think Like the Buddha

    108 Days of Mindfulness

    Practice mindfulness and unleash your power to respond rather than react and to act intentionally rather than habitually.

    This book presents mindfulness teachings via short insights or meditations. All too often we “forget” to be present. We neglect being mindful when eating, listening, speaking, working, studying, seeing the sunrise and the sunset, being with friends or sipping a cup of tea. As a result, we fail to live our lives to the fullest potential and experience the joy of living. The Buddha, who was the planet’s most prominent practitioner of mindfulness, taught this technique to others.

  • Penguin Select Classics: The Interpretation of Dreams

    “Our memory has no guarantees at all, and yet we bow more often than…justified to the compulsion to believe what it says.”

     

    What are the most common dreams and why do we have them? Does a dream about death, swimming, seeing a snake or flying symbolize something?

     

    First published by Sigmund Freud in 1899, The Interpretation of Dreams is a deep and psychological research into what our dreams tell about our subconscious fears, traumas, and inherent desires.

     

    Freud’s theories delve into the idea of dreams as a means to wish fulfilment, and the significance of childhood experiences on adult life.

     

    Frued argues and insists that if we fully understand dreams, we will fully understand the unconscious mind.

     

    Encompassing dozens of case histories and detailed analyses of actual dreams; this critical text presents Freud’s legendary work as a tool for comprehending our sleeping experiences.

  • The Odyssey (Penguin Black Classics)

    Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns
    driven time and again off course, once he had plundered
    the hallowed heights of Troy.

     

    So begins Robert Fagles’ magnificent translation of the Odyssey.

     

    If the Iliad is the world’s greatest war epic, then the Odyssey is literature’s grandest evocation of everyman’s journey though life. Odysseus’ reliance on his wit and wiliness for survival in his encounters with divine and natural forces, during his ten-year voyage home to Ithaca after the Trojan War, is at once a timeless human story and an individual test of moral endurance.

     

    In the myths and legends that are retold here, Fagles has captured the energy and poetry of Homer’s original in a bold, contemporary idiom, and given us an Odyssey to read aloud, to savor, and to treasure for its sheer lyrical mastery.

     

    Renowned classicist Bernard Knox’s superb Introduction and textual commentary provide new insights and background information for the general reader and scholar alike, intensifying the strength of Fagles’ translation.

     

    This is an Odyssey to delight both the classicist and the public at large, and to captivate a new generation of Homer’s students.

     

    Robert Fagles, winner of the PEN/Ralph Manheim Medal for Translation and a 1996 Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, presents us with Homer’s best-loved and most accessible poem in a stunning new modern-verse translation.

  • Economics of Small Things

    Why are all the good mangoes exported from India? Why should we pay our house help more? Why do we hesitate to reach out for that last piece of cake in a gathering? Are more choices really better? Why do many of us offer a prayer but are reluctant to wear a seatbelt while driving? Are Indians hardwired to get grumpy at a peer’s success? What’s common between a box of cereal and your résumé?

     

    Can economics answer all these questions and more? According to Dr Sudipta Sarangi, the answer is yes.

     

    In The Economics of Small Things, Sarangi using a range of everyday objects and common experiences like bringing about lasting societal change through Facebook to historically momentous episodes like the shutting down of telegram services in India offers crisp, easy-to-understand lessons in economics. The book studies the development of familiar cultural practices from India and around the world and links the regular to the esoteric and explains everything from Game Theory to the Cobra Effect without depending on graphs or equations-a modern-day miracle!

  • Down and Out in Paris and London (Modern Penguin Classics)

    ‘Orwell was the great moral force of his age’ Spectator

    You can live on a shilling a day in Paris if you know how. But it is a complicated business.

    When he was a struggling writer in his twenties, George Orwell lived as a down-and-out among the poorest members of society. In this early memoir, he recounts shocking experiences working as a penniless dishwasher in Paris, pawning clothes to buy a day’s worth of bread and wine, sleeping in bug-infested bunks, trading survival skills and cigarette butts with fellow tramps, and trudging between London’s workhouse spikes for a few hours’ sleep and tea-and-two-slices.

    With sensitivity and compassion, Orwell exposed the hardships of poverty and gave readers an unprecedented look at life lived on the fringes of society. His vivid account is an enduring call to support the world’s most vulnerable people and exemplifies his belief that ‘The greatest of evils and the worst of crimes is poverty.’

    The Authoritative Text. With a new introduction by Kerry Hudson.

    *The jacket of this stunning hardback edition features period artwork by Elizabeth Friedlander, one of Europe’s pre-eminent 20th-century graphic designers. Look out for complementjary editions of Orwell’s essential works Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four.*
