Hardcover. Condizione: New. Agony and ecstasy are two frenetic states of a mystical spirit and Amrita Pritam infused that spirit in her poetic prose and verses. A creative genius, a legend in her lifetime, she touched the heart and soul of bibliophiles with reflective allusions to mythology and history, and also delved in the metaphysical sphere with parables and similes. Be it the resonance of romantic poetry and longing, the heart-rending tales of Partition, or contemplative essays, her ingenious artistry of words and imagery converged in the spiritual realm. This confluence was facilitated by her vision as a quintessential Sufi, seeking cosmic amalgamation in the stream of consciousness. As she wrote incessantly, her virtuosity surpassed these epithets the Grande Dame of Punjabi literature the Prima Donna of contemporary rebels. How she correlated with the anguish of women with such intensity, and her introspective writing that stirred emotions, elicited global renown. No wonder, her works were translated in over thirty regional and foreign languages. But her literary luminosity transcended all the national and international laurels conferred on her for her ultimate desire was to offer an incisive insight into her inner world. The Ninth Flower is an assimilation of the varied genres of Amrita Pritam's writing personally handpicked by the illustrious litterateur before her demise. This collection is also inclusive of some of her hitherto unpublished work that she entrusted to the trans creator of this volume.…

Awards conferred. The trademark hat booming rich baritone intent smouldering eyes a towering height and an imposing presence only a dramatic description would possibly delineate this versatile painter of sinister strokes who left a tremendous hypnotic impact on Indian cinema. Amrish Puri whose voice could send shivers down your spine while his antics made you chuckle his costumes could drive you nuts and his one liners ranging from Mogambo khush hua to Dong kabhi wrong nahin hota become household parlance. The industry's ace villain was credited with bringing the hitherto mundane villainy into strobe light and lent it a pride of place on the billboard with his unmatched histrionics. This son of the soil born in the heart of Punjab in Naushahr spent his formative years in the hilly regions and trekked miles in the valley of Simla the summer capital of British India. He followed his creative instincts in college rather surreptitiously given the stern scrutiny of a conservative authoritarian father. Moved to the tinsel town of Bombay in the early 1950s where his elder siblings Chaman and Madan Puri were already groping in the glamour world and he had to write his own destiny. After initial heartbreaks dejected as a hero aspirant he turned to theatre and created an amazing repertoire essaying some of the most challenging roles under the aegis of stalwarts like Ebrahim Alkazi Satyadev Dubey Vijay Tendulkar Girish Kamad Badal Sircar and Mohan Rakesh among others. But pursuing this innate passion for stage didn't provide for livelihood bread and butter came from the rigmarole of a clerical job in a government office. And recording advertisement jingles and radio plays extended a little icing on the cake. The providential break on the silver screen came at an age when lesser mortals would be resolving mid career crisis. And once again he made a distinct mark in offbeat parallel cinema of Shyam Benegal and Govind Nihalani as he subtly transplanted the stark profundity of theatre on to celluloid. But the real litmus test was the commercial viability of his talent as he could also rake in revenue at the box office. Here too he graduated with stunning performances and became the highest paid villain breathing life into characters as the bald baddie the cold blooded don the ruthless politician the lecherous viper. The Machiavellian prince evoked the essence of evil and went on to build a treasure of excellence whether he played a wily father or an affectionate patriarch. This star actor became a reckoning force in both Hindi and regional films with over 300 titles in his kitty. His brilliant renditions elicited the attention of renowned Hollywood director Steven Spielberg thus emerging on the international horizon. The book captures poignant moments in the life of a terrific performer with the class act of a chameleon who depicted an era that encountered the most challenging facet of blending art and commerce seeking triumph over the paradox of playing the negative and positive to create cinematic history. Hats off. 408 pp.…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. A unique voice and singing style that could not possibly be emulated, and an acting prowess that complemented the gifted throat, earned Kundan Lal Saigal a distinct place in the annals of Indian cinema. A bi-lingual actor, he commenced his cinematic sojourn with New Theatres, and touched the zenith with Devdas in 1935, that was to become an all-time classic. With each successive venture President, Dharti Mata, Street Singer, Zindagi, Bhakt Surdas, Tansen, Shahjahan, et al he kept soaring to reach the zenith. With the release of his maiden Bengali film, Didi, he captured the hearts of Bengal's cognoscenti. And his songs in Bangla received approbation of the Nobel Laureate Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore: "Ki shundar gala tomar! Aage jaane le katayi na anand petam."No non-Bengali singer had been conferred such praise before or after Saigal. Here was an artiste, nonpareil, in past or future, as he became a legend in his lifetime. His repertoire in varied genres of songs, ghazals, bhajans, as also in other modes of classical style enthralled the masses, as these renditions made them laugh and cry. A film career that merely lasted fifteen years (1932-1946), he performed in just about 36 films and rendered about 185 songs in Hindi, Urdu, Persian, Punjabi, Bangla and Tamil, thus proving the dictum that it's not the extensiveness but the intensity of those renderings that bequeaths the mantle of immortality. This national award-winning biography of a peerless classic singer is a premier enterprise, as also a signal tribute. Archival records, rare photographs and posters of Saigal's films in this tome, give insightful glimpses, and beckon collectors and connoisseurs.…

A life beyond categories perhaps that's the quintessence of Dr. Kapila Vatsyayan's trajectory both as a sensitive artist and profound scholar. She has not only questioned, but also defied the mindsets that create those categories, with her multidisciplinary approach. Given her proximity to the stalwarts of the intellectual and cultural arena, i.e. Aruna Asaf Ali, Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay, Rukmini Devi Arundale, Dr. Grace Louise McCann Morley, and many more, she imbibed the finer nuances of feminine discourse of these strident pioneers, who crossed the social barriers and altered the gender perceptions. In blissful formative years. Nobel laureate Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore made her recite poetry, and legendary Nandalal Bose taught her to hold the painting brush at Santiniketan. She belongs to the generation that nurtured the ideals of a free India, to rediscover its cultural roots and reconstruct the broken tradition. And she devoted her boundless energy towards that lofty goal working closely with Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and Dr S. Radhakrishnan. The original cultural czarina of India, she laid the foundation of soft diplomacy' in the post Independence era, signing numerous cultural treaties across the world and formulating bilateral exchange programmes. Building institutions, she delineated education and cultural policies with her gifted tenacity, exemplary erudition, and critical faculty. Arguably, a great living authority and critical faculty. Arguably, a great living authority on the arts of India, and a key administrator in the fields of archaeology, anthropology, archives, museums, et al, her multifaceted expertise has facilitated several bridges of communication, especially between the Indian and the Western arts. Dr. Vatsyayan has both witnessed and participated in the agony and ecstasy of the cultural history of India, seeking the inner core of its creative genius in all the vibrant hues. Though there may have been an inevitable clash between the innocent idealism of a bygone era and rueful reality of the contemporary saga, it's been a journey worth emulating. More so, for the young aspirants of a post-modern India, this tome is a must read. (jacket).…

Hardbound. Condizione: As New. New. Contents Foreword. Publisher's note. Preface. Acknowledgements. 1. This story must be told. 2. Reliving an era. 3. Benign spell of Begum's Music. 4. The Begum Saga lives on. From the setting dusk of the fading royalties of Awadh where Bibbi was born in 1914 to the glamour and clamour of theatre in Calcutta and films in Bombay. From the eloquent exuberance and die hard faith underlying the tormented childhood of Akhtari Bai Faizabadi to the rhythms of silence required of the doting Begum of a Kakori Nawab. And her final transformation to an icon of music. Begum Akhtar remains an enigma. No one can answer all those curious posers raised over several decades with as much authority as her cherished disciple Prof. Rita Ganguly who lends a unique perspective on the much fabled life of her Ustad. With a passion so varied given the consistent evolution of Begum's craft and technique nothing short of lifetime research could have authenticated and done justice to unravel the mystique and myth of this legendary phenomenon in the Indian subcontinent feted by the cognoscenti and the commoner alike. The book delves into the subtle nuances of transition in time educing the flavour language and music of a period that witnessed the end of a predominantly feudal society weaving the cultural tapestry of courts courtesans twaifs and the turbulent times that led to independence. How the enthusiasm dreams and frustrations of the post independence phase coincide with emergence of the modern era and how these historic changes connect with the sensibilities of a highly reflective artiste and mould her music. This interaction between an introvert mind of a scintillating singer and the world without between the changing generations and an inquisitive yet introspective Mallika e Ghazal spins the narrative. Begum surfaces in her multiple roles as a performer lover wife and mother a teacher and friend juxtaposing stupendous success and dismal failure. Music was the ultimate the eventual destination of her creative soul. But beneath the facade of fame and fortune was deeply sensitive woman facing loneliness pain and anguish the poignant moments of existence that remained unresolved till her very end. Begum's life perhaps mirrors and image where we too may briefly perceive ourselves and question the veracity of our own lives. 358 pp.…
