The Memsaheb’s Foot
Original price was: 300.00৳ .225.00৳ Current price is: 225.00৳ .
"Set in the 1990s, in Dhaka, against the backdrop of a military regime, The Memsaheb's Foot is a fascinating story about a young university professor who is also a left radical, his beautiful wife with an uncontrolled temper and many unfulfilled desires, and their nubile maid Phulbanu who blooms into a beautiful young woman herself, seemingly challenging the beauty of her Memsaheb. Seen from the perspective of Phulbanu, the subaltern narrator, this novella is a powerful critique of the gradual corruption of a youthful, idealistic leftist intellectual who slowly succumbs to the lure of big money 'consultancies.' Phulbanu, the maid, is witness to the lives of the fascinating couple as they become increasingly prosperous, and her own life as it becomes complicated by a passionate love affair that Memsaheb cannot endure. Originally written in Bangla by Kashinath Roy, this dramatic story has been lovingly translated by his friend Shawkat Hussain, both former professors of English at Dhaka University."

THE PEACEKEEPER
Ahsan paints a brave new world, a world in transition, the surface of which is changing shapes, and the inner self of it, driven by love, truth and beauty, is constantly striving to create a beautiful tomorrow -The Star Magazine
An empathic human register-The Daily Star
An enlightening and thought provoking read-The Purple Magazine
Deep inside the jungles of Congo, Samir, on his peacekeeping mission, comes face to face with all the incredible challenges Africa has to offer. Cloaked in a cover of uncertainty, his only hope for surviving the mayhem of the brutal cannibals, gun-trotting child soldiers and the bloodthirsty belligerent rebels is his wit which he finds challenged every single day. As he lives through his ordeal, Africa surfaces to life with all her magnificence, seduction, gloom and gore from the pages of the books he read back home. Death hovers over his head like a cloud yet he is awed by the beauty of Africa, humored by the non-congruity of life and excited about his job of bringing peace in the war ravaged country.

কাব্যপ্রতিভা ও মননশীলতার মহিমায় মেহিকোর কবি অক্টাভিও পাজ হয়ে উঠেছেন আধুনিক বিশ্বের কবিকণ্ঠ। তাঁর কবিতার পরতে-পঙ্ক্তিতে মিশে আছে মানবসভ্যতার সহস্রাব্দের জীবনসাধনা। একই সঙ্গে দৃষ্টি প্রসারিত করেছেন তিনি আগামীর দিকে, জীবনের নিগূঢ় ব্যঞ্জনার সন্ধানে। সময় থেকে সময়াতীতে, ঐতিহ্য থেকে ভবিতব্যে তাঁর এই অনায়াস পরিক্রমণ-কেন্দ্রে সর্বদাই রয়েছে ব্যক্তিমানবের নিবিড়তম অনুভব। মানব অস্তিত্বের নানা বিপরীতমুখী বৈশিষ্ট্যের সংঘাত-সংশ্লেষণের ভেতর দিয়ে তিনি খুঁজে ফিরছেন কাব্যের মুক্তি এবং পাঠ কাব্যরসিকদের জন্য সর্বদাই এক আনন্দঘন অভিজ্ঞতা। অক্টাভিও পাজ-এর কবিতার জটিল বিন্যাসের ব্যাখ্যা ও কাব্যানুবাদ সমৃদ্ধ বর্তমান গ্রন্থের রচয়িতা কৃতী বাঙালি অধ্যাপক ও তরুণ গবেষক হায়দার আলী খান। মূল স্প্যানিশ থেকে তিনি বঙ্গানুবাদ করেছেন পাজ-এর কবিতাগুচ্ছ এবং সুদীর্ঘ এক ভূমিকায় সাবলীলভাবে বিশ্লেষণ করেছেন তাঁর কবিতার বিশিষ্টতা। মার্কিন যুক্তরাষ্ট্রের ডেনভার বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ে অর্থনীতি বিষয়ে অধ্যাপনারত হায়দার আলী খান-এর একাধিক গবেষণা গ্রন্থ প্রকাশিত হয়েছে বিদেশি প্রকাশনালয় থেকে। দক্ষিণ আফ্রিকা ও অবরোধের অর্থনীতি বিষয়ে তাঁর মৌলিক গ্রন্থ অর্জন করেছে বিশেষ সমাদার। সাহিত্য, সঙ্গীত, চিত্রকলা ইত্যাকার বহুতর বিষয়ে তাঁর আগ্রহ এবং এরই ফসল বর্তমান গ্রন্থ।
