Book Details
Set in the Nilgiris, this book is a beautiful evocation of the life of the Todas—a tribe of the region, and of Moz—a Nilgiri tahr or ibex who is rescued from a trap by Karnoz—a Toda boy. Perfectly complementing Moz’s adventures in the village and outside including those with dholes, leopards and hunters is that of Karnoz’s growing up and the Todas ultimately having to leave the area due to the building of a dam. Sensitive illustrations complement the text.

- Book Type:
- Description: Varun Grover's magical language has impressed many youngsters. With this book, one could add children also to the list of his admirers. Seven stories. Mystery, thrill, wonder, and dreams- his language retains the same magical quality in all genres. At times, he writes so little that the ideas seem to have trickled down to the tip of the language. Then there is no space for anything else. He tells a story in a way that it seems he has become one with the audience. Therefore, you keep finding yourself in the company of a reader. Not once does his descriptions of events and people become judgemental. This is an incredible feat. He just keeps feeding our curiosities. He does not create suspense to suddenly interest the reader with a mystery. Instead, he lets the mystery unfold, which creates the space for the story to move forward. Chandramohan Kulkarni's illustrations enrich the reader's experience.

LOKPRIYA JASOOSI KAHANIYAN
- Author Name:
Bhavishya Kumar Sinha
- Book Type:
- Description: ‘दीवारों के भी कान होते हैं’, हिंदी में इस कहावत का क्या आधार है? इसकी परिभाषा या व्याख्या की कोई जरूरत नहीं है, क्योंकि एक अनपढ़ भी इसका मतलब समझता है। जासूसी का इतिहास बहुत लंबा है। पाँच हजार साल पीछे जाएँ तो महाभारत में भी कई मिसाल मिल जाएँगी। पांडवों का अज्ञातवास भंग करने का प्रयास एक जासूसी प्रकरण नहीं तो और क्या है! जासूसी कहानी में एक जबरदस्त कौतूहल, जिज्ञासा और उत्कंठा होती है, जो पाठक की दिलचस्पी को आगे आनेवाली घटनाओं के बारे में मजबूती से पकड़कर रखती है। पाठक के सभी अनुमान विफल हो जाते हैं, जब घटनाक्रम अकस्मात् नए-नए मोड़ लेता है। इस रुचि को बाँधे रखना ही जासूसी कहानियों के लेखक की लेखन-निपुणता की कसौटी है। बड़े-बड़े तिलिस्मी उपन्यासों, जैसे कि चंद्रकांता संतति, भूतनाथ, सफेद शैतान आदि से कौन परिचित नहीं है। इस संग्रह में अंग्रेजी की कुछ प्रमुख और लोकप्रिय जासूसी कहानियों का संकलन है, जो रहस्य-रोमांच से भरपूर हैं और पाठकों को बाँधकर रखने की अद्भुत क्षमता रखती हैं।
