The Torch Bearers
Author: Bernard Victor Dryer
Publisher: New York : Simon and Schuster
ISBN:
Category : Pharmaceutical industry
Languages : en
Pages : 648
Book Description
This tells of surgeon-aristocrat Mayoso Marti, an unconventional, contradictory man of enormous magnetism and courage whose intense loyalties to persona and principle draw him into a life of double jeopardy. One is a world of established wealth and power the other is one of hunger and adversity. Through Mayosoʼs burning commitment to the value of the individual human life, these opposite worlds are interlocked as the novel moves from a Connecticut mansion to a hospital faced with scandal, to a cathedral confessional, to the bullet-spattered avenidas of Caracas, to an American courtroom shocked into silence. Itʼs an emotional sage of abortion versus the Catholic faith.

Book Description
Like any bored eleven-year-old with an imagination, Prem makes fantastic wishes. So when his father drags him to a monsoon-lashed Mumbai, Prem know it's futile to dream of home. Instead, he wishes for a genie, a dragon and some superpowers. What he certainly doesn't wish for is a quest to save some gods who are at the brink of extinction. He finds that the gods' last hope lies in the hands of those who channel the mysterious power of the Vedas. Caught in a cosmic crossfire, with a talking fish, some inventive monkeys and a few unexpected allies, Prem learns of his true identity-as a Torchbearer. Can the Torchbearers stop bloodthirsty demons from getting their hands on the Nectar of Immortality and bring the gods back to power?

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 1188
Book Description
Kashmir, the paradise on earth with its glorious history, strategic location and unique cultural ethos based on the synthesis of the diverse civilizations, remains the second undecided human problem on the UN agenda, after Palestine. Kashmir has remained an attraction for invaders and aggressors. From the 16th century onwards, it fell to the Mughals, the Pathans, the Sikhs of the Punjab and finally it was sold to a neighbouring Dogra chieftain whose family ruthlessly ruled it for a century. This is where our story takes place. It revolves around the young daughter of a poor widow maidservant who loves a young boy from a poor family. This love affair and the struggle for freedom in Kashmir develops simultaneously. The lovers undergo unexpected vicissitudes just like the freedom Movement, which for the follies and treacheries of its leadership led to an uncertain future of its people including these lovers. The fictional treatment of contemporary political history, the wars fought on its soil, the Indian intransigence, hypocritical vacillation of Pakistan, criminal silence of the UNO and the political opportunism of big powers weave the plot together. The idyllic environs, rich cultural heritage, creative intellect, dexterous and beautiful arts and crafts and mystique in blended sceneries of Kashmir a legend is the backdrop of this original story from a son of the soil.
