The Small Voice of HistoryBy Ranajit Guha
Rs 792
Guha’s fascinatingly diverse historical and political writings, dating from the 1950s and tucked away in obscure journals and collections, have been virtually inaccessible: they are brought together for the first time in the present volume, which comprises his Collected Essays in English, forty-four in number.
These writings have been put together by Partha Chatterjee, whose long association with Guha as a founder-member of the Subaltern Studies editorial board is complemented by his own international stature as a historian, political theorist, and public intellectual.
The Art of Power By Thich Nhat Hanh
Rs 318
Turning our conventional understanding of power on its head, world-renowned Zen master, spiritual leader, and national bestselling author Thich Nhat Hanh reveals how true power comes from within. Every day, each of us exercises power in many ways, and our every act subtly affects the world we live in.
This struggle for control and authority permeates every aspect of our private and public lives, preventing us from attaining true happiness. Thich Nhat Hanh illustrates how the current understanding of power leads us on a never-ending search for external markers like job title or salary.
“The Art of Power” boldly challenges our assumptions and teaches each of us how to access the true power that is within our grasp.
