Sinopsis

THE SELLOUT meets INTERIOR CHINATOWN in this satirical debut about race, sexuality and truth. German-Polish-Indian student Nivedita's world is upended when she discovers that her beloved professor who passed for Indian was born white.

Nivedita (a.k.a. Identitti), a doctoral student who blogs about race with the help of Hindu goddess Kali, is in awe of Saraswati, her outrageous superstar post-colonial and race studies
tutor. But Nivedita's life and sense of self begin to unravel when it emerges that Saraswati is actually white. Hours before she learns the truth Nivedita praises her tutor in a radio interview, jeopardising her own reputation and igniting an angry backlash among her peers and online community.

Dumped by her boyfriend and disowned by her friends in the uproar, Nivedita is drawn to her supervisor in search of answers not only about Saraswati's identity, but also around her own.

In her thought-provoking, complex and genre-bending debut, Mithu Sanyal collages
commentary from real-life intellectuals, blogs, articles, race theory and academic warfare, combining campus novel and coming-of-age drama. A darkly comedic tour de force astutely translated by Alta L. Price, Identitti showcases the outsized power of social media in the current debates around identity politics and the power of claiming your own voice.

    Gustav Meyrink was born in Vienna on the 19th January, 1868. 
    As a young man he co-founded a bank in Prague, but a personal crisis and a suicide attempt turned his life away from commerce to a study of the occult and a career in literature. 
    His early short stories, supernatural, occult and weird, are full of promise, menace and the unusual. 
    In 1915 he published his landmark novel ‘Der Golem’ and followed these with others which, whilst noted, failed to achieve the extraordinary heights of the first.  Meyrink was also a prolific and gifted translator of the works of Dickens and others into German. 
    After studying Theosophy, Kabbala and other religions he made, in 1927, a late conversion to Buddhism. 
    Gustav Meyrink died in Starnberg, Germany on the 4th December 1932.  He was 64.

    The Game is Afoot...
     
    In the murky, fog-drenched streets of Victorian London, a killer prowls, leaving behind no clues but an empty house, a dead man, a woman's wedding ring, and the word RACHE scrawled in blood upon a wall. Scotland Yard's finest are utterly baffled. The brilliant but eccentric consulting detective Sherlock Holmes, however, sees the truth clearly hidden in the dust.
     
    A Study in Scarlet is the seminal work that birthed a literary legend. Written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1887, this gripping novel marks the very first appearance of Sherlock Holmes and his steadfast companion, Dr. John H. Watson. Here, Watson—an army doctor freshly returned from the horrors of the Afghan War—takes up lodgings at the iconic 221B Baker Street, only to find himself swept into a sinister web of international revenge, secret societies, and brilliant forensic deduction.
    A Masterpiece of Mystery/Detective Fiction
     
    From the meticulous analysis of cigar ashes and muddy footprints to the dramatic capture of a desperate killer, A Study in Scarlet laid the unshakeable foundation for the modern detective genre. Conan Doyle's incredible narrative seamlessly blends a chilling procedural thriller with a tragic, sweeping backstory, exploring the darkest corners of human nature and vengeance.
     
    With an unforgettable, high-drama performance by Andre Reaves, this classic audiobook transports listeners directly to the gaslit cobblestones of 19th-century crime solving. Grab your deerstalker, sharpen your wits, and prepare to isolate the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life.

    Spiritual beings populate the stories of Scripture. Angels singing. Demons infecting. Heavenly hosts fighting . . . Ignore the armies of God and Satan and you ignore the heart of Scripture. Ever since the snake tempted Eve in Eden, we've known: there is more to this world than meets the eye. 
    In this classic Christmas novella, best-selling author Max Lucado imagines the spiritual conflict that surrounded the coming of Christ. Surely there was much. If Satan could pre-empt Christ in the cradle, there'd be no Christ on the cross. 
    Journey back in time to the very throne of God ... and witness firsthand the glory, the wonder, and the battle that took place on the very first Christmas.
