Across the Luminous Realms and Other Tales from Legends, Myths & Fantasy by Chaitali Sengupta

Across the Luminous Realms and Other Tales from Legends, Myths & Fantasy by Chaitali Sengupta

₹500.00

Chaitali Sengupta has produced a fluent and easy-to-read translation of two collections of stories that have long remained in the shadows, even among Dutch readers. Without adopting all of Couperus’ archaic turns of phrase, her translation nowhere feels forcedly modern. In doing so, she has done Couperus’ text full justice, making a number of relatively unknown but culturally historically very interesting stories accessible to a wide English-reading readers.

    Mobin Mohan’s Jacaranda translated from Malayalam into English by Akhil Jose

     ₹399.00
    In Mobin Mohan’s award-winning novel Jacaranda, translated from Malayalam into English by Akhil Jose, the city of Carnovia is transformed every October into a violet-hued paradise where thousands of jacaranda trees bloom in a “violet umbrella”. The story centers on Salvador, an orphan and tourist guide, and his deep connection with Amelia, the daughter of a street musician, whose love is mirrored in the timeless beauty and superstitions of the falling blossoms. However, the idyllic atmosphere is tested when Salvador’s ambitious friend Agostino becomes entangled with a mysterious girl from Gantia, leading the characters away from their “Jacaranda City” and into a world of financial desperation, harsh labor in distant vineyards, and the shadows of historical legacies. Through a narrative rich with poetic symbolism and folklore—including the legend of Saint Dwynwen, the patron of lovers—Mohan explores the resilience of love and the human spirit against the “cruel twists of fate”. This Sahitya Akademi Yuva Puraskar-winning work is a soulful meditation on whether a life rooted in “great goodness” can survive the encroaching darkness of the world.

    Sara Hamid Hawass ‘s A Mountain on My Shoulder Translated by Sudipta Chattopadhyay, and Sreetanwi Chakraborty

     ₹399.00

    A Mountain on My Shoulder is a powerful collection of poetic meditations by Sara Hamid Hawass—brought to Bengali readers through a sensitive and evocative translation by Sudipta Chattopadhyay and Sreetanwi Chakraborty. This bilingual bridge between English and Bengali unveils a woman’s inner world, her memories, her rebellions, and the quiet storms she carries within. In these poems, myth blends with memory, sorrow blends with silence, and personal truth finds expression through vivid imagery. From reflections on identity and womanhood to intimate dialogues with nature, dreams, and ancestry, each poem unfolds like a delicate revelation. The voice is contemplative yet fierce, rooted yet unbound—filled with imagery of birds, clouds, rivers, shadows, and the timeless rhythm of life. The Bengali translation retains the lyrical precision and spiritual undertones of the original English text, making this book a rare, immersive reading experience for poetry lovers, translation enthusiasts, and readers who seek literature that heals, questions, and transforms.
