Sinopsis

The Four Vedas, the ‘Rigveda’, ‘Yajurveda’, ‘Samaveda’ and the ‘Atharvaveda’ are the primary texts of Hinduism. They comprise vast collections of poems and hymns, composed in archaic Sanskrit by Indo-European-speaking peoples that flourished in northwest India during the 2nd millennium BC. These sacred works celebrate a wide pantheon of gods, including natural and cosmic phenomena, as well as abstract qualities. The ‘Rigveda’, the foremost of the Vedas, is among the oldest extant texts of world literature. Noted for their beautiful language and metrical brilliance, these hymns reveal philosophical depth and great spiritual understanding. Delphi’s Eastern Treasures Series provides eReaders with rare and precious texts of Asian literature, featuring prominent works of history, fiction, religion and philosophy, complemented with the original texts.  This eBook presents the complete four Vedas, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

    M is a writer. M is a mother. M is a woman.
    The triumph of M's hit play is hijacked by motherhood. She is burnt out, angry, lonely, craving intimacy but disengaged, and terrified of the future.
    She wants to tell her story, her way. But everyone keeps giving her their opinions on who she is, who she ought to be, and how she's fucking everything up.
    Fiercely funny and brutally honest, Jane Upton's play (the) Woman shatters the glossy veneer of motherhood, exposing its raw, messy truth and what happens when a woman dares to question the definition of (her)self. It was shortlisted for the Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting, and first performed by New Perspectives on tour of the UK in 2025.

    sun memos is the second self-published poetry book by platinum ARIA accredited, Australian singer-songwriter, Ziggy Alberts. Differentiating from his lyrical work, sun memos is an introspective look behind the mind of the musician on the road and at home. Featuring his signature environmental metaphors, sun memos, is split into four parts and allows readers to join him on a journey of personal realisations and is an invitation to enter into a vulnerable relationship between the writer and the reader with each page. 
    sun memos was brought to life amongst the relative chaos of Ziggy Alberts’ extensive touring the world.  As Ziggy said -  
    “it was almost lost in the years between, and I can breathe a sigh of relief now these sun memos are bundled into these pages. Writing poetry has nothing to do with publishing it. Writing poetry is what music has been for me since the very beginning: an outpour. 
    Minimal planning, maximum emotion.  
    Like my first book, brainwaves, this is another thoughtfully independent project made possible by my family & friends at Commonfolk Publishing.  
    Looking forward to connecting with you all for the second time, and again."

    More Than Weeds, the debut poetry collection by L. Kiew, explores the language of migration and how it is used in relation to plant and animal species, as well as peoples. These knowledgeable and verdant poems draw deeply on botanical and ecological detail and reveal secret histories thriving in the gaps between definitions; here are precious seedlings, unforced flowers, tongues of leaves, tangled roots and rhizomes.
    With roots in decolonialising botany and horticulture movements, and influenced by the impact of the climate crisis and regenerative gardening practices, Kiew's poetry is alive and thronging with the interconnected nature of things – and the formative forces of nurture, family, food, refuge and love. Human and plant voices speak for themselves of experiences of belonging and displacement, as well as encounters with violence. These vivid poems that ask us to scrutinise what is really contained or constrained by demarcations – whether those of weed or wildflower, or of borders and hostile environments.
