From the vibrant cityscape of Kolkata to the peaceful shores of the Ganges in Varanasi, Oberoi's story develops amidst a diverse blend of cultural, spiritual, and family influences. Within these pages, readers will find themselves drawn into the colorful mosaic of Oberoi's family heritage, a lineage steeped in distinction and rich with stories of generations past. From his great-great-grandfather, the esteemed Dewan of Mayurbhanj estate, Mohini Mohan Dhar, to the unwavering spirit of his mother, Dr. Uma Dhar Singh, each figure plays a vital role in shaping Oberoi's own journey of self-discovery and resilience.

With its evocative prose and universal themes, "Eighteen" is a book that speaks to the heart of the human experience—a poignant reminder that, no matter the challenges we face, we are never alone on our journey.

Book Description
The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming is Henri Nouwen’s most popular book, selling over one million copies since its publication in 1992. What accounts for its ongoing popularity as a spiritual classic? Drawing from extensive research in Nouwen’s archives, author and Chief Archivist for the Henri Nouwen Legacy Trust, Gabrielle Earnshaw, provides a detailed account of how the book came to be written, shedding light on Nouwen’s writing process and aspects of his life experience that influenced his insights and ideas. Earnshaw examines Nouwen’s intellectual formation as well as the impact of his family and friends on the shape of the book. Letters, many published here for the first time, give us a privileged look at Henri’s world during the nine years he took to complete the book. Earnshaw considers how it compares to other books published at the same time to place the work and its author in a historical, cultural and religious/spiritual context. Finally, she explores how Nouwen himself was changed by the book and why twenty-three later it continues to touch the hearts and minds of 21st century readers.

Book Description
Many people today are entranced by the idea of speaking with the dead or else immersing themselves in vampire tales and wonder. What most people don't realize is how old and revered these stories really are. Within this work Calmet attempts to show where the idea of spirits and apparitions comes from and then within the second part of the main work where the idea and history of the vampire itself comes from. This work simply is not just a history text of ancient religious beliefs but also explains the thinking and beliefs that surrounded the spirits and vampires in the day and age when Calmet wrote this work.
