Do you know how Renuka, the warrior goddess, fought rakshasas? Or how Nu Wa held the broken sky together? Or how Rome was built or the zebra got its stripes? You may have heard of Achilles and his heel, but what of Cassandra and her prophesies? And how Anansi tricked the sky god to bring stories to the world? Do you know why the boat tour at the Niagara Falls is called ‘Maid of the Mist’?
Sowmya Rajendran’s Myths and Legends from Around the World is a vivid retelling of some of the most well-loved stories of the world. Meet mighty gods and powerful goddesses, mystical women and ferocious beasts, trickster spiders and sleeping giants as you discover how big the world is and yet, how small.

Big Brother is watching you still.
The adjustment bureau is snowed under with work, the moral police force is on the prowl. The country, but most of all the capital, must live by the Conduct Book. But it isn't easy. Despite all the efforts of these organizations to maintain peace and social order, people, especially women, continue to flout the law - they ask for divorces, dress provocatively, drink with men and attempt to avoid marriage and childbearing.
But there's a one-man army, more effective than the entire moral police force put together, who will bring law to the land. A vigilante who has his own methods. No matter how many wanton, difficult women there are, he will persevere for the greater good. He will shame them like they have never been shamed before. And when one particular woman's rebellion threatens to spiral out of control, he's called upon to remedy the situation ... and teach her a lesson.
The Lesson is a dystopian satire about the violence that women live with, structural, systemic and even just the everyday sort. It is a book that will remind you that, after all these years, Big Brother is still watching you.
