ABU YA’ QUB AL-SIJISTANI
₨ 9,101This text looks at the tenth-century missionary, al-Sijistani. Though long neglected by historians of Islamic philosophy, al-Sijistani’s recently recovered writings prove that he deserves careful consideration both as a philosopher and as an exponent of the intellectual understanding of Islam. The old problem of the meaning of science and religion, and their interaction as reflected in the thought of an Ismaili author from a remote period, is now interpreted within a framework that provides broad coherence to disparate ideas and obscure doctrines which survive only piecemeal from medieval Arabic books and treatises. Here, al-Sijistani’s contributions appear all the more cogent and impressive despite the 1000 years that separate him from us.

ACHILLES
₨ 2,162This powerful, passionate and beautifully crafted retelling of the epic tale of Achilles recreates Homer’s fated hero in a new and striking reality. Born of the sea-nymph Thetis by the mortal King Peleus, and hidden as a girl until Odysseus discovers him, Achilles becomes the Greeks’ greatest warrior at Troy. Into his story comes a cast of fascinating characters — among them Hector, Helen, Penthiseleia the Amazon Queen and the centaur Chiron; and finally John Keats, whose writings form the basis of a meditation on the nature of identity and shared experience.
An unforgettable and deeply moving work of fiction, Achilles is also an affirmation of the story’s enduring power to reach across centuries and cultures to the core of our imagination.

ACROSS THE RIVER AND INTO THE TREES
₨ 1,195If you loved BBC4’s Hemingway, rediscover this poignant story of the inability to capture lost youth, by the Nobel Prize-winning author of A Farewell to Arms.
Richard Cantrell is an American colonel living in Venice just after the Second World War. The fighting has left him scarred and embittered, a middle-aged man with a heart condition. It seems that only the love of Renata, a nineteen-year-old countess can save him. But Cantrell is living in the shadow of war, every move he makes dictated by old battle instincts, and it is possible that for him the longed-for peace may have come too late.‘The most important author since Shakespeare’ New York Times
