Hatheli Par Karn
Author: Nagdeve, Narendra
Genre: Religious
Year: 2025 | Pages: 176 | Origin: IND | BA Seq Num: 90050
The mention of Karna, the epic hero of the Mahabharata, conjures up contradictory images. One Karna is at the pinnacle of charity and virtue, donating even his armor and earrings to Indra, while the other is complicit in the heinous act of disrobing in Duryodhana's court. The novel's narrator is Karna's childhood friend and well-wisher. He witnesses the humiliations of being a charioteer's son and his growth into a prodigious archer.
He isn't merely presenting Karna's biography, but rather, he bears the torment of his own inner self as he repeatedly deviates from his lofty ideals and falls into the abyss of degradation. Karna fearlessly lives his life, embracing both sin and virtue, until, on his deathbed, Lord Krishna himself faces the task of deciding which prevailed
Vakratund
Author: Madhukar, Mahendra
Genre: Religious
Year: 2024 | Pages: 256 | Origin: IND | BA Seq Num: 87196
Vakratunda, or Ganapati, Shri Ganesha has many forms - from the remover of obstacles to the destroyer of obstacles. He is compassionate and kind to Satva and stern to Tamas. This nature of his has generated a special devotion for Shri Ganesha in the hearts of humans, as he feels completely at home - compassionate, generous, easygoing, and fulfilling all hopes and aspirations.
It's not that he doesn't get angry, but his anger is not directed towards his devotees. For them, he is the giver of protection. Not only humans, but he is also the protector and savior of all other creatures.
In a world full of obstacles, the merciful Shri Ganesha has countless leelas (playful acts). His narrative in 'Vakratunda' is woven from these leelas (playful acts), which offer readers a unique sense of assurance and solace: if you remain filled with Satva (purity) towards others, Vakratunda will transform every obstacle in your path into a favorable one.
A highly readable mythological novel
Premashram
Author: Premchand
Genre: Social Novel
Year: 2025 | Pages: 496 | Origin: IND | BA Seq Num: 90051
Premashram is an epic of peasant life. It doesn't depict just one aspect of that life; it's like a vast river, in which, along with the main stream, the water from the surrounding drains, old, hollow trees uprooted, and the weeds of the fields also flow.
It has been written by breaking the normal rules of novel writing. Who is its hero, who is its heroine? Premchand made the peasants who performed forced labor, plowed the fields, and fought against the plague and the government the heroes.
Premchand takes us among the typical peasants. Beyond them, their fields and ponds, their wrestling arenas and Lavani-like thoughts, their superstitions and the restless sprouts of a new life - all this is alive in Premashram; history is living in its pages. Premchand shows the ancient traditions of farmers and also where their links are breaking.
Premchand's art lies in his ability to paint a picture of the transformed Indian farmer. The events are simple, but they reveal the old and newness of his characters, the characteristics that push them back and propel them forward. It's easy to draw a picture of a mountain, but difficult to depict the flow of a river
