Shalivahana - Paperback Comic Book
Shalivahana - Paperback Comic Book
King Shalivahana is credited with the introduction of a new era named after him, and referred to as the Shalivahana Shaka. It was initiated to commemorate his magnificent victory over Vikaramditya of ujjaini in 78 ad. Even today, Hindu use the Shalivahana Shaka to record births, marriages and other auspicious events.

The Vikrama Charita, a Sanskrit classic composed in the 11th century, supports this view. Apart from this work and few popular legends, there is no concrete evidence to support this theory. Brought up as a potter, the brave and good shalivahana was destined to become a great king, and this prophecy was well fulfilled.

History records that Gautami’s son Shatakarni of the shatavahana dynasty, defeated the powerful King Nahapana of the Satraps. The folklore of Maharashra identifies the same Shatakarni with Shalivahana.

The content for this Amar Chitra Katha title is derived from the Sanskrit classic Kathasaritsagara and Virama Charita, as well as from popular folk tales on this legendary hero.

                    DESCRIPTION: 

                    1919 में प्रकाशित उपन्यास सेवासदन मूलतः उर्दू में लिखा गया था और इसका नाम था, बाज़ारे-हुस्न। इससे पहले मुंशी पे्रमचन्द ने लघु उपन्यास ही लिखे थे और यह उनका पहला महत्त्वपूर्ण उपन्यास था। इसकी कहानी बीसवीं सदी में वाराणसी की पृष्ठभूमि पर केन्द्रित है जहाँ नायिका सुमन अपने पति के साथ रहती है। प्रेम के अभाव में उनका दाम्पत्य जीवन सुखद नहीं था। दुखी और उदास सुमन इतनी मायूस हो जाती है कि पथ-भ्रष्ट होकर बनारस के एक कोठे पर पहुँच जाती है। फिर कहानी कुछ ऐसा मोड़ लेती है कि वह कोठे को छोड़ एक अनाथालय का रुख करती है और उनकी सेवा में अपना सम्पूर्ण जीवन समर्पित कर देती है। अन्य कई उपन्यासों की तरह प्रेमचंद का यह उपन्यास भी स्त्री-केन्द्रित है जिसमें सुमन के किरदार के माध्यम से प्रेमचंद ने उस समय के समाज पर व्यंग्यात्मक प्रहार किया है।

After a thrilling jaunt in the Far East, Holmes and Watson return to England to address an inheritance left by one of Watsons relatives in Cornwall, half of which is entrusted to Sherlock Holmes. Financially secure, the two are now free to spend as much time on Baker Street and the Continent as they please, and the duo find themselves as comfortable in Rome on the banks of the Tiber as they do on the Thames. As Holmes rationalizes and ratiocinates his way through adventure after adventure, from The Case of Two Bohemes to A Singular Event in Tranquebar, it is all in a days work, until clues surface that his great nemesis, Professor James Moriarty, might still be alive . . . "Theres no way to dance around it: Ted Riccardis work is absolutely brilliant. It is as if he is channeling Conan Doyle. Once youre a few pages into these stories, you would swear that these were newly discovered manuscripts, unearthed by Conan Doyles estate. Or, better yet, I had the feeling that I had stumbled upon some pulp magazines where Conan Doyle was still writing. Riccardi has it all down - the cadence, the language, everything. He doesnt try to subtly update Holmes for the modern audience, either. It is as if each and every tale was written at the turn of the century, and not the twenty-first." About the Author: Ted Riccardi Ted Riccardi is a professor emeritus in the Department of Middle East and Asian Languages and Cultures at Columbia University. He has served as the counselor of cultural affairs at the United States embassy in New Delhi. Ted and his wife split their time between New York City, New Mexico and Nepal.

We warn you now, stay out of our affairs or risk facing the fatal consequences of your actions!” a colourfully dressed bedouin, brandishing a sword and wearing an ancient symbol of Christianity, interrupted the breakfast of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson and admonished them. Soon after, Holmes and Watson are dispatched to the Vatican to investigate the murder of Cardinal Tosca, the successor to the Pope. Unearthing the Cardinal’s clandestine and dubious dealings right before his death leads them to a lost gospel arriving along with several other mysterious packages from Egypt. They conclude he was killed while translating the ancient scroll. When all clues point towards the involvement of their bedouin intruder and an ‘unholy Trinity’, they embark on a dangerous journey to Egypt to recover the stolen gospel and bring the perpetrators to justice.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    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.

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.”

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.

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 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.

Never-before-seen cases meticulously chronicled by Dr Watson are published for the first time. Crimes of intrigue and suspense: Marguerite Rossignol, the French Nightingale, is found backstage of the Cambridge music hall strangled with one of her own stockings; the British Prime Minister is sent a dead rat and a threatening letter; and a girl drugged on morphine is somehow linked to a Californian goldmine. Across the lights of London and up to Scotland, Holmes and Watson encounter a Russian agent provocateur, the ghost of a woman who drowned in a boating accident and a blackmailer who calls himself the Pied Piper in their endeavor to solve this series of chilling mysteries.

In Dr Watson’s compendium of secret files, the fantastic Sherlock Holmes embarks on a bird-watching ‘holiday’ in Cornwall leading to the unmasking of a spy; two glasses of port lead to the apprehension of an artful burglar; and a young woman is found dead in the Thames. Follow the unstoppable duo as they try to resolve how the contents of a matchbox provoked the suicide of a famous Peruvian journalist, and decipher the blackmailing of the indiscreet Duchess of Welbourne. The adventures continue in June Thomson’s thrilling Conan Doyle pastiches. JUNE THOMSON, a former teacher, has published over thirty novels, twenty of which feature her series detective Inspector Jack Finch and his sergeant, Tom Boyce. She has also written six pastiche collections of Sherlock Holmes short stories. Her books have been translated into many languages. June Thomson lives in St Albans, Hertfordshire.

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).
