Oru Theruvinte Katha - Malayalam Edition: ഒരു തെരുവിന്റെ കഥ
by S K PottekkattOru Theruvinte Katha (English: The Story of a Street) is a Malayalam novel written by S. K. Pottekkatt and published in 1960. It sketches a host of characters who spend their lives making a living in ‘The Street’. The novel is set as parallel stories in each chapter, dealing with a particular character or a group of characters. However the central character can be discerned as Krishnakuruppu, who is mostly addressed as 'Kuruppu', 'Paper Kuruppu' and even 'Vishamasthithi' due to his usage of the phrase 'Kaaryam Vishamasthithi' or 'situation is difficult' in English when calling out headlines while selling newspapers. It is mostly through the eyes of Kuruppu that the novel unfolds. Some of the minor characters are introduced to the reader through Kuruppu, where he is shown to be in conversation about them with other prominent characters of the street. Kuruppu is also shown as a passive observer in some of the happenings in the street. The street is based on the S.M. Street or popularly known as Mithai theruvu (Sweet Meat Street) in Kozhikode, Kerala. It won the Kerala Sahitya Academy Award of 1961.
Daivathinte Vikruthikal (Malayalam): ദൈവത്തിന്റെ വികൃതികള്
by M MukundanDaivathinte Vikrithikal is a 1989 Malayalam novel written by M. Mukundan. Like most of Mukundan's works, this novel too is based in Mayyazhi, better known once as Mahé, the French colony after it was decolonised. The story centres on a magician, Father Alfonso, his daughter, Elsee and an Ayurveda Vaidyar Kumaran and his two twin sons and how their life changes after the land is decolonised. The novel won the Kendra Sahitya Akademi Award and the N. V. Prize. It was adapted into a film by noted director Lenin Rajendran in 1992. The story begins in 1954, when the French, the colonial rulers were packing off from Mahé, a coastal town in North Malabar, after 230 years, leaving behind remnants of a cultural history. Those, who considered themselves as belonging to Francophone culture, jumped onto the first available vessel to France. Alphonso ignored the repeated pleas of his wife, Maggi to leave the land, where they no longer "belonged". The new social order became more, suffocating as Alphonso's earnings (as a "magician" of sorts) dwindled. The arrival of their son, Michael, from France revived hopes of a life without poverty, but Michael went back, leaving behind counterfeit gold and plunging the Alphonso family in deeper debts. Daughter Elsie's affair with Sasi became a local scandal. Alphonso decided to leave, but the decision hung in the air. Alphonso looked around in the realization that he cannot tear himself away from Mahé and the river to which he belonged. Mahé was within him even in a society, where he had no reason for the sense of belonging. In a way, the story reveals what is now described as authentic "ethnicity".
Khasakkinte Ithihasam - Malayalam: ഖസാക്കിന്റെ ഇതിഹാസം
by O V VijayanKhasakkinte Itihasam does not have a single narrative plot. It is crafted in the form of the spiritual journey of an under-graduate dropout, Ravi, plagued by the guilt of an illicit affair he had with his stepmother. Ravi abandons a bright academic career and a research offer from Princeton University. He deserts his lover Padma and leaves on a long pilgrimage, which finally brings him to the small hamlet of Khasak near Palakkad. At Khasak, he starts a single-teacher school as part of the District Board’s education initiative. The novel begins with Ravi’s arrival at Khasak and his encounters with its people, Allappicha Mollakka, Appukkili, Shivaraman Nair, Madhavan Nair, Kuppuvachan, Maimoona, Khaliyar, Aliyar, and the students of his school like Kunhamina, Karuvu, Unipparadi, Kochusuhara and others. After some years, his lover Padma calls on him and Ravi decides to leave Khasak. He commits suicide through snake-bite while waiting for a bus at Koomankavu. The novel has no story-line per se. It recounts the numerous encounters of Khasak from a spiritual and philosophical frame of mind. Through these encounters, Vijayan narrates numerous stories, myths and superstitions cherished in Khasak. He places them in opposition to the scientific and rational world outside, which is now making inroads into the hamlet through Ravi's single-teacher school. The irony of the interface between these two worlds occupies substantial space in the novel. Through the myths and stories, Vijayan also explores similar encounters of the past recounted by the people of Khasak, enabling him to have a distinctly unique view of cultural encounters across time and space. It is considered as an epic of sin, sexuality, and self-destruction. Ravi and Padma are celebrated for their unfulfilled union and Ravi's feel of loss of self-esteem due to former sins. Palmera trees become a backdrop of almost the entire description.

Al Arabian Novel Factory -Malayalam Edition: അൽ അറേബ്യൻ നോവൽ ഫാക്ടറി ബെന്യാമിൻ
by BenyaminAl Arabian Novel Factory bristles with ideas of revolution and social justice—and the ways in which these impulses are harnessed by real politics. It exposes the toxic schisms within Islamic society, where the struggle between Shias and Sunnis has led to a bankrupt humanity. Al Arabian Novel Factory plunges the reader into a dizzying labyrinth of suspense and intrigue. Set in an unnamed Arab city, the novel is rooted to the world that is conjured up by its predecessor. It is the story of Pratap and his colleagues on a strange work assignment in the 'City'. An unnamed Arabian city we also saw in Jasmine Days. The assignment along with their individual pasts takes them to various people in the city, weaving a wholesome picture of the situation. By far not pleasant, it breaks your heart the cruelty described, it questions revolutions and governments for all the right reasons. All their attempts to understand the people and the city is finally linked to a singular story that ties to a copy of a banned book written by an immigrant Pakistani radio jockey called Sameera Parvin, who worked in the city before vanishing mysteriously one day. The novel attempts to be inclusive of every kind of perspective in a post revolutionary/conflict situation. Along with exploring the role of poetry and literature and how often times it incites fear in the establishment.
Ayal - Tagore - Malayalam Edition: അയാള്
by Rabindranath TagoreTagore wrote He (Shey) to satisfy his nine-year-old granddaughter's demands for stories. Even as Tagore began to create his fantasy, he planned a story that had no end, and to keep the tales spinning he employed the help of 'Shey', a "man constituted entirely of words" and rather talented at concoting tall tales. So we enter the world of Shey's extraordinary adventures, encountering a bizarre cast of characters, grotesque creatures and caricatures of contemporary figures and events as well as mythological heroes and deities - all brought to life through a sparkling play of words and illustrations in Tagore's unique style.

Bhranthan (HMT): ഭ്രാന്തന്
by Kahlil GibranThis ebook is a slim volume of aphorisms and parables written in biblical cadence somewhere between poetry and prose (First published 1918). You ask me how I became a madman. It happened thus: One day, long before many gods were born, I woke from a deep sleep and found all my masks were stolen,—the seven masks I have fashioned and worn in seven lives,—I ran maskless through the crowded streets shouting, “Thieves, thieves, the cursed thieves.” Men and women laughed at me and some ran to their houses in fear of me. And when I reached the market place, a youth standing on a house-top cried, “He is a madman.” I looked up to behold him; the sun kissed my own naked face for the first time. For the first time the sun kissed my own naked face and my soul was inflamed with love for the sun, and I wanted my masks no more. And as if in a trance I cried, “Blessed, blessed are the thieves who stole my masks.” Thus I became a madman. And I have found both freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us to enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief.

Eni Njan Urangatte - Malayalam: ഇനി ഞാന് ഉറങ്ങട്ടെ
by P K BalakrishnanThe novel's inspiration is the Sanskrit epic Mahabharata. It may be regarded as a historically notable Malayalam-language novel as it has become a yardstick for epic Malayalam fiction, spawning many Mahabharata based-novels. The novel is the story of Karna, developed through the viewpoint of Draupadi in the reflection of her life story. The book begins at the end of the Kurukshetra War. Yudhishthira has just learned that Karna, the much-hated enemy of the Pandavas, killed by Arjuna is his brother. Draupadi, the wife of all the Pandava brothers, is unable to understand her sense of guilt surrounding the situation. However, she soon learns more about the once-hated Karna. Draupadi's feelings towards Karna change through the course of the novel. As the wife of all the Pandava brothers, she comes to realize, had Karna accepted the offer to become the eldest Pandava and consented to rule the kingdom, he would have been her husband. Draupadi considers life in retrospect, contemplating the life of Karna and unveiling his stature as a tragic hero. She recognizes the gallant warrior Karna has fallen before the prejudices of those who surround him. Karna becomes encompassed in an all-destructive war. Meanwhile, Draupadi, the chaste and dutiful wife of the Pandavas, also reflects on her understandings. She finds that the fundamentals and morals she had come to believe in life, crumbled before her own eyes. There is a sense of destruction and abandonment shared between these two characters. The book crafts a contemporary relevance to the tribulations of the tragic hero, Karna, and the struggles of the quintessential woman, Draupadi. PK Balakrishnan tells the story of Karna through the eyes of a woman in his award-winning novel Ini Njan Urangatte. This novel attracted the recognition of the Kerala Sahithya Akademi with the Award in the novel category and the Vayalar Award.
Prismatic Jane Eyre: Close-Reading a World Novel Across Languages
by Matthew Reynolds OthersJane Eyre, written by Charlotte Brontë and first published in 1847, has been translated more than five hundred times into over sixty languages. Prismatic Jane Eyre argues that we should see these many re-writings, not as simple replications of the novel, but as a release of its multiple interpretative possibilities: in other words, as a prism. Prismatic Jane Eyre develops the theoretical ramifications of this idea, and reads Brontë’s novel in the light of them: together, the English text and the many translations form one vast entity, a multilingual world-work, spanning many times and places, from Cuba in 1850 to 21st-century China; from Calcutta to Bologna, Argentina to Iran. Co-written by many scholars, Prismatic Jane Eyre traces the receptions of the novel across cultures, showing why, when and where it has been translated (and no less significantly, not translated – as in Swahili), and exploring its global publishing history with digital maps and carousels of cover images. Above all, the co-authors read the translations and the English text closely, and together, showing in detail how the novel’s feminist power, its political complexities and its romantic appeal play out differently in different contexts and in the varied styles and idioms of individual translators. Tracking key words such as ‘passion’ and ‘plain’ across many languages via interactive visualisations and comparative analysis, Prismatic Jane Eyre opens a wholly new perspective on Brontë’s novel, and provides a model for the collaborative close-reading of world literature. Prismatic Jane Eyre is a major intervention in translation and reception studies and world and comparative literature. It will also interest scholars of English literature, and readers of the Brontës.

by State Council of Educational Research and TrainingMeasurements and relations between them form an important part of mathematics. Because of this, physical and social sciences require mathematics to present such quantitative relations. Mathematics also has an ideal aspect in which measurements are seen as pure numbers and objects as geometrical shapes. Relations between numbers then grow into algebra, and cause-effect relationships of physical objects develop into logical connections between ideas. Thus mathematical theorems are formed. These in turn lead to more effective practical applications. Here we present the basic lessons in mathematical theory and applications. In the present age, tedious computations and complex drawings are done using computers. On the other hand, knowledge of mathematics is essential for the effective use of computers. We have indicated this two-way interaction between mathematics and computers at many places in this book. We have included examples of using the dynamical geometry program GeoGebra and the computer language Python. More material on these are made available through the Samagra portal and through QR codes.
