DESCRIPTION:
Sherlock Holmes lamented, “I fear that retirement will elude me.”
It surely does in this fivestory chronicle, Sherlock Holmes – The Golden Years.
The saga begins with The Bonnie Bag of Bones, which leads the famous duo on a chase into the legendary mountains of Scotland.
In Curse of the Black Feather, Holmes teams up with the Irregulars and a gypsy matriarch to expose a diabolical “babyfarming” enterprise. Their adventure continues through Maestro of Mysteries – with a deadly hunt under the streets of London – and The Cure that Kills – with a race across America and against the largest detective organization in the world.
In the final story, The Kongo Nkis Spirit Train, Holmes and Watson travel to the Dark Continent to derail a “spirit train” that ensnares people’s spirits and enslaves their bodies.
Kim Krisco follows in the footsteps of the master storyteller Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, adding five new and exciting, Sherlock Holmes adventures to the canon. He captures the voice and style of Doyle, as Holmes and Watson find themselves unraveling mysteries in, and around, preWWI London that, as Holmes puts it, “appears to have taken on an unsavory European influence.”

Drugged, manacled, condemned to a dank cell in the depths of London’s infamous Newgate prison, the world’s greatest literary detective awaits execution by a vengeful crew of formidable enemies. Escape is impossible; death, a certainty. But not for Sherlock Holmes, who, in a stunning display of intellect and derring-do, will elude his hangman’s noose and live to fiddle, spy and ratiocinate another day. Against tremendous odds, Holmes will continue to defy his enemies in four more encounters, from cracking German intelligence codes, to going against Scotland Yard and the Crown in proving the innocence of a man condemned to death for the slaying of a pregnant serving girl, to an arsenic-wielding magician, and of course, to a battle of wits with the malevolent Moriarty. Everywhere in these five finely-wrought tales, riddles and mystery hover in the air. But they are not beyond the grasp of the incomparable Holmes.

DESCRIPTION:
Still wondering what Sherlock Holmes was doing between his reported death in 1891 and his reappearance in 1894? The whole world knew that he died at the Reichenbach Falls, tumbling over the jagged cliff in a deadly embrace with his nemesis Moriarty. But for history’s greatest detective, “death” was only the beginning.
It all started when an Italian scholar travelled from Venice to 221B Baker Street, to beg the help of the legendary detective. He carried an ancient parchment, written in the hand of Marco Polo himself. It was torn in half, centuries ago, to protect the world from a terrifying secret, one that apparently Marco Polo and the Moroccan traveler Ibn Battuta, took dramatic steps to guard. Holmes sprang into action. He faked his death at Reichenbach and proceeded undercover to Venice.
From 1891 to 1894, when Sherlock Holmes was dead to the world, he was having the grandest adventures of his career. From the Vatican to Morocco and from the Sahara to the ancient city of Timbuktu, Holmes and Watson were on a dauntless journey, one where the duo confronted ruthless criminals, an ancient culture and a staggering surprise.

DESCRIPTION:
The Kakatiyas were the most powerful kings of Telangana during the 12th and 13th centuries. The 200 or so years of their rule mark the highpoint in the prosperity, culture and art traditions of this part of the Deccan. Nowhere is this better seen than in the Thousand-Pillared Temple of Hanamkonda and the Ramappa Temple of Palampet, both of which preserve a profusion of elaborate carvings. Though the great Svayambhu Shiva temple in Warangal that served as a dynastic shrine for the Kakatiyas was later demolished, its four ceremonial entrance portals, or toranas, still stand, giving a glimpse into the imposing architecture of the era. That the Kakatiyas also invested in agriculture is evident from the vast reservoirs, or cheruvus, that they constructed, providing much needed water to local farmers in the past and down to the present day. Authored by Phillip B. Wagoner, a specialist on the literature and art traditions of Telangana, and illustrated with specially commissioned photographs by Surendra Kumar, this guidebook is the first to describe the sites and monuments associated with the Kakatiyas, their contemporaries and successors in and around the twin cities of Hanamkonda-Warangal. Many of these locations may easily be reached as a day trip from Hyderabad and it is hoped that this guidebook will prove informative and serviceable to scholars and students, as well as to general visitors. PHILLIP B. WAGONER is Professor of Art History and Archaeology at Wesleyan University, Connecticut, where he has taught since 1987. His research has encompassed architectural history, cultural history, numismatics, and Telugu historiographical writing. His books include Tidings of the King: A Translation and Ethnohistorical Analysis of the Rayavacakamu (Honolulu, 1993); Power, Memory, Architecture: Contested Sites on Indias Deccan Plateau, 1300-1600 (with Richard Eaton, Delhi, 2014); and the co-edited volume Palimpsests: Buildings, Sites, Time (Turnhout, 2017). SURENDRA KUMAR is a photographer based in Hampi, Karnataka, specialising in topographic panoramas. His images have been published in Discovering the Deccan: A Panoramic Journey Through Historical Landscapes & Monuments (Mumbai 2011); Temple Architecture and Art of the Early Chalukyas (New Delhi 2014); and several of the Deccan Heritage Foundation guidebooks, most recently Buddhist Rock-Cut Monasteries of the Western Ghats (Mumbai 2017).

बीसवीं सदी के प्रारम्भिक दौर में बांगला समाज में जहाँ नारी को कुछ बोलने की आज़ादी नहीं थी, उस परिवेश में जब कमल अलग-अलग मुद्दों पर अपने पति से प्रश्न करती है तो उसे यह फूटी आँख नहीं भाता। स्वतंत्र विचार वाली मुँहफट कमल का हर प्रश्न पुरुष के नारी के ऊपर स्वामित्व की नींव पर चोट पहुँचाता है। जैसे-जैसे कमल के प्रश्न बढ़ते हैं, उसके और उसके पति शिवनाथ, जिससे वह पूरे रीति-रिवाज़ से ब्याही भी नहीं है, के बीच टकराव और तनाव बढ़ता जाता है और कमल अपने अलग रास्ते पर निकल जाती है... 1931 में लिखा शरतचन्द्र का यह उपन्यास आज भी उतना ही प्रासंगिक है, क्योंकि नारी जिन प्रश्नों के उत्तर तब तलाश रही थी वे आज भी अनुत्तरित हैं।

Description
A symbol of love and affection, the beautiful Kalamkari painting of Lord Vishnu and his consort Lakshmi is being given a refine and detail treatment. The enhancing effulgence of colours and the characters that emerge on cotton fabric, help create a resplendent spread. Kalamkari painting is unique in its use of colour as a medium to depict mythological characters. Kalamkari has a glorious history. The popularity of this exquisite form of art crossed the shores of the country during the 17th and 18th centuries. Kalahasti and Machilipatnam in Andhra Pradesh, the nerve centres of this art continue to be beehives of Kalamkari activity. Kalamkari colours are made from vegetable dyes and no chemicals are used whatsoever. In addition to themes from the epics, Kalamkari leitmotifs comprise different forms of the lotus flower, the carwheel, parrots, an interlacing pattern of leaves and flowers.
In this small brass figure, Lord Vishnu is taking rest in the coil created by Shesh or Sheshnaag or Adishesha, the king of all Nāgas. According to the Bhagavata Purana, Shesh is an avatar of the Supreme God known as Narayana. Shesha is generally depicted with a massive form that floats coiled in space, or on the ocean of milk, to form the bed on which Vishnu lies. In the Bhagavadgita of Chapter 10, verse 29, Sri Krishna while describing 75 of his common manifestations, declares ‘of the nagas, I am Ananta’. According to Mahabharata, Shesha was born to sage Kaśyapa and his wife Kadru. Kadru gave birth to a thousand snakes, of which Shesha was the eldest. After Shesha, were born Vāsuki, Airāvata and Takṣaka. As a lot of Sesa brothers were cruel in nature, Sesa left his mother and kin, and resorted to austere penance. His penances were so severe that his flesh, skin and muscles dried up and merged with his frame. He was able to please Brahmā. Following this, Shesha was able to keep his mind under control so that he could continue to perform ascetic penances. Brahma asked Sesa to go beneath the unstable earth and stabilize it. Sesa agreed and went to the netherworld, and stabilized her with his hood. He is known to support her even today, thus making Pātala his perennial residence.
