The Thief

Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Nothing is overdone and not a word is out of place in this auspicious debut," wrote Kirkus in a starred review of Instead of Three Wishes, the first book by Megan Whalen Turner. Her second book more than fulfills that promise. The king's scholar, the magus, believes he knows the site of an ancient treasure. To attain it for his king, he needs a skillful thief, and he selects Gen from the king's prison. The magus is interested only in the theif's abilities. What Gen is interested in is anyone's guess. Their journey toward the treasure is both dangerous and difficult, lightened only imperceptibly by the tales they tell of the old gods and goddesses. Megan Whalen Turner weaves Gen's stories and Gen's story together with style and verve in a novel that is filled with intrigue, adventure, and surprise.

Life is a celebration
Author: V Anji Raju
Publisher: BS Publications
ISBN: 9395038209
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
This book is an attempt to share my experiences primarily on Indian circumstances specific to middleclass families who have neither enough resources nor influence to get their due share and significant growth in their careers. Only a few of them grow to the top levels with sheer hard work, but most of them retire by the time they realize their potential. Covid 19 lock down hit the entire range of households but worst affected was the middle class. I am an Aam Aadmi (ordinary man) with a typical middle-class mentality. I worked in various sectors and could understand the way the public sector function that is usually top-down, private sector with profit orientation and non-government organization’s with bottom-up and participative approaches. I, too, worked in an academic Institute where I enjoyed my time with young minds with diversified backgrounds. The liberalization (1991) revolutionized the Indian economy, and the corporate world is dominating with excellent opportunities and work culture. Employees are smart with brilliant academic background with a tag around the neck, plastic money cards in the pockets, pickup and drop facilities, and of course, Covid-19 forced to work from home (WFH). The reality is something different with most of the workforce; future uncertainty, no belongingness, fast changes in technologies, health problems mainly lifestyle-related, family issues related to strained relations. Quite often, we come across nice people who feel that they cannot cope with the people of mean mentality, biased, corrupt, influential, manipulative, and highly selfish. We, too, see people who are successful with amazing assets without happiness. I am fortunate to be part of the happenings at various organizations with their business and professional dealings. I have been enjoying life despite many failures, mistakes and troubles. The year 2020 has thrown unprecedented challenges to civilization with the Covid-19 pandemic with human loss and disrupted economic and social activities. I took it as an opportunity to encapsulate my thoughts mainly for the benefit of youth and middle-aged.
