Add to cartSubodh Sarkar’s Amour & Anger is a fierce, fragrant atlas of intimate ruin—poems that crackle with the feral pulse of the street, the bruise of desire, and the corrosive humour of a post-anthropocentric poet conversing with himself in the aftermath of love. Translated with an alchemical linguistic instinct by Bappaditya Roy Biswas, these mesmerizing sonnets illuminate the lyric tradition from within: each poem bends classical form into a theatre of rage, shame, carnivalesque profanity, and raw, unguarded intimacy. Reviving the art of the sonnet through his celebrated Kangaroo Sonnet Sequence, Sarkar positions the practice of the form at the confluence of Bengal’s poetic giants—from Jibanananda Das and Michael Madhusudan Dutt to Shakti Chattopadhyay—demonstrating how a classical form, most famously associated with Shakespeare, can be transformed into an indigenous wellspring for modern sensibility where lyricism, transgression, and tenderness converge with startling intensity. The aesthetics of these sonnets are unmistakably Bengali—earthy, playful, musical, imbued with the lilting gossip of fishes and the vernacular rustle of paddy fields yet global in sensibility, temperament, and emotional reach…Ashwani Kumar

Agnipakhi by Rachna Singh translated by Seema Jain
₹749.00Original price was: ₹749.00.₹690.00Current price is: ₹690.00.Add to cartअग्निपाखी एक प्रभावशाली स्त्री-केंद्रित कहानी-संग्रह है, जो नारी मन की गहराइयों को संवेदनशीलता और सच्चाई के साथ प्रस्तुत करता है। यह केवल दुख या संघर्ष की कहानियाँ नहीं, बल्कि आत्म-खोज, आत्मबल और नए सिरे से जीने की प्रेरणादायक यात्राएँ हैं। अंग्रेज़ी में प्रकाशित रचना सिंह द्वारा लिखित Phoenix in Flames का यह हिंदी अनुवाद सुप्रसिद्ध अनुवादक सीमा जैन ने किया है। इन कहानियों की स्त्रियाँ कठिनाइयों से गुजरती हैं, लेकिन हार नहीं मानतीं। वे हर बार अपनी भीतर की जीवन-शक्ति से प्रेरणा लेकर उठ खड़ी होती हैं—ठीक उसी तरह जैसे फीनिक्स अपनी राख से पुनः जन्म लेता है। हर कहानी पाठक के मन को छूती है और सोचने पर मजबूर करती है। प्रख्यात लेखिका अनामिका के शब्दों में—“बहुत सूझ-बूझ के साथ रचना सिंह ने दुखों के बीच संघर्ष करती स्त्रियों के नैतिक साहस की कहानियाँ रची हैं। ऐसी कहानियाँ एक-दूसरे का मनोबल बढ़ाने में बेहद सहायक होती हैं। इन्हें ‘स्त्री–सुबोधिनी’ का उत्तर-आधुनिक रूप भी कहा जा सकता है।” अग्निपाखी—हर उस स्त्री की कहानी, जो टूटकर भी फ़िर से बनती है। -

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.
