Buy A Farewell to Arms: Digital Ebook



A Farewell To Arms

Arguably the best Modernist work and the most poignant book on World War I as well as one of the greatest classics of the 20th century???A Farewell to Arms is all this and yet an incredibly approachable novel, one that transports you right into the middle of battlefield and makes you wonder about the futility and monstrosity of war and the funny madness of ordinary men. 

Cutting through a series of thrilling escapades, the semi-autobiographical story follows a stoic American ambulance driver Henry on the Italian front as he steers dauntless through the carnage of war, escaping death by inches and meeting bored drunk soldiers and tired villagers surviving in a world shorn to ruins by bombs and industrialization. And, yes, amidst all this wreckage breathes a love story???an intricate and powerful story of doomed romance between Henry and an English nurse.


Buy The Financial Expert others Edition



Margayya is a complex and entrancing character with a flair for those fabulously involved minor financial transactions which are an integral part of Indian life. We first met him sitting in the shade of a banyan tree, advising the people of Malgudi how to extract loans from the Co-operative Bank. A brush with the Secretary of the Bank, and an accident in which his spoil son Balu throws his account book down a drain, cut short his career as a financier; but after a series of amusing incidents Margayya grows rich and reverts to financial wizard.

Apart from the vigor of the narrative, what is remarkable about the book is the unselfconscious ease and humor with which R K Narayan conveys the flavour of Indian life.

About the Book: Turning Points
It was like any other day on the Anna University campus in Chennai. I had delivered a lecture 'Vision to Mission' and the session got extended from one hour to two. I had lunch with a group of research students and went back to class. As I was returning to my rooms in the evening the vicechancellor, Prof. A. Kalanidhi, fell in step with me. Someone had been frantically trying to get in touch with me through the day, he said.
Indeed, the phone was ringing when I entered the room. When I answered, a voice at the other end said, 'The prime minister wants to talk with you ?' Some months earlier, I had left my post as principal scientific adviser to the government of India, a Cabinet-level post, to return to teaching. Now, as I spoke to the PM, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, my life was set for an unexpected change.
Turning Points takes up the incredible Kalam story from where Wings of Fire left off. It brings together details from his career and presidency that are not generally known as he speaks out for the first time on certain points of controversy. It offers insight not only into an extraordinary personality but also a vision of how a country with a great heritage can become great in accomplishment, skills and abilities through effort, perseverance and confidence. It is a continuing saga, above all, of a journey, individual and collective, that will take India to 2020 and beyond as a developed nation.
