  Lalita and Other Stories is a poignant collection of ten short stories that explore the unseen struggles and quiet resilience of women from different walks of life. Each story mirrors the realities women face every day—stories that deserve to be told, remembered, and felt. From a teenage girl navigating societal expectations to a wealthy woman confronting hidden wounds, these stories offer a raw, unfiltered glimpse into lives shaped by a patriarchal society. 
  Lalita, a young widow, is denied the simple pleasures of life, while Bhavna is told to change her name after marriage. Mrs. Saxena and her distant husband live a lonely life, and she craves company, while Geeta Bua, a widow, relies on her extended family for financial support. These characters are familiar, and their struggles are real, yet they often go unnoticed by the world around them. They face discrimination and adapt, but a fire simmers beneath their calm exterior. You will find some of these women in your part of the world too. This collection is thought-provoking and will stay with you long after the last page.

  Grimm's Gruesome Tales - The...

  Forget everything you thought you knew about "happily ever after."
  This edition strips away centuries of censorship to reveal the raw gothic darkness of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm's original tales. These were never bedtime stories for children — they were warnings for adults, forged in a world of famine, superstition, and unforgiving forests.
  What makes this edition unique:
  130+ Original Color Illustrations. Each page comes alive with vivid artwork that plunges you into the shadowy heart of pre-industrial Europe — a world where magic was bloody and survival was never guaranteed.
  Modern Translation. The archaic German narratives have been rendered into crisp, contemporary English. The language feels immediate and sharp while preserving the dark spirit of the originals.
  Uncompromising Authenticity. No softened endings. No moral polish. Justice here is served with red-hot iron, and the forest shows no mercy to the weak.
  This is not simply a book — it is a collector's artifact and an excavation of primal human fears. Created for readers who dare to look into the merciless mirror of the past and recognize the nightmares still embedded in our culture.
  WARNING: This edition is intended for mature audiences. Contains graphic violence and disturbing imagery faithful to the original folklore.

  Throughout the long centuries of human history is the want, and the need, to share information, to exchange ideas and for that knowledge and experience, for curiosity and learning, to be the basis of a civil society. 
  In literature the ambition is much narrower.  In order to be known, to be popular, you had to be published.  And for that people had to know you existed and your ideas worth reading.  Obviously for most of humanity’s time people couldn’t read and texts couldn’t be published in any great number. 
  In the 15th Century Gutenberg’s printing press began the revolution to address the second and by the 19th century had gathered pace with startling speed and mass distribution.  Education for the many was brought in to help people understand more of their world and, with new skills, how to have a better place within it.  Now, if the powers that owned the presses and means of distribution agreed an audience would now be able to avail themselves of your ideas, your printed words.  
  Sadly, in the thirst for the new, the recent and the past fell from sight, relegated to dark corners and dusty shelves.   
  But the printed word is rarely without someone, somewhere busying themselves through piles of papers and books rediscovering what a good story is, whatever its age. 
  In this volume we offer up a small selection of those talents whose time has now come again.
