Book Description

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE The celebrated first memoir from arguably the most influential singer-songwriter in the country, Bob Dylan. 'I'd come from a long ways off and had started a long ways down. But now destiny was about to manifest itself. I felt like it was looking right at me and nobody else.' So writes Bob Dylan in Chronicles: Volume One, his remarkable book exploring critical junctures in his life and career. Through Dylan’s eyes and open mind, we see Greenwich Village, circa 1961, when he first arrives in Manhattan. Dylan’s New York is a magical city of possibilities - smoky, nightlong parties; literary awakenings; transient loves and unbreakable friendships. Elegiac observations are punctuated by jabs of memories, penetrating and tough. With the book’s side trips to New Orleans, Woodstock, Minnesota, and points west, Chronicles: Volume One is an intimate and intensely personal recollection of extraordinary times. By turns revealing, poetical, passionate, and witty, Chronicles: Volume One is a mesmerizing window on Bob Dylan’s thoughts and influences. Dylan’s voice is distinctively American: generous of spirit, engaged, fanciful, and rhythmic. Utilizing his unparalleled gifts of storytelling and the exquisite expressiveness that are the hallmarks of his music, Bob Dylan turns Chronicles: Volume One into a poignant reflection on life, and the people and places that helped shape the man and the art. 'Chronicles stunned everyone . . . [it's] clear, apparently frank, unremittingly serious about his musical influences and exquisitely written. It is, in fact, a masterpiece' Sunday Times 'Entertaining and surprisingly deprecating... The book's structure is elegant . . . Chronicles is tautly written, vividly cinematic, and funny . . . a courageous little book' Financial Times 'There is something on every page, in every paragraph, that demands attention . . . In rock and roll terms, this book is like discovering the lost diaries of Shakespeare. It may be the most extraordinarily intimate autobiography by a 20th-century legend' Daily Telegraph

Kaliyuga: 2019 An ancient, secret war, older than humankind, is about to spill out in broad daylight... The Devas in the heavenly abode of Swargam have been gone for over 5000 years; the Primordial Light of the Oorja weakens. The darkness of Andhakar grows, the taint of its corruption spreads, and its demonic creatures—the Asuras—prepare themselves for a global takeover. A retired history professor is gruesomely murdered in Indraprastha and a week later, angels with fire wings are sighted in modern-day India, along with strange reports of strange, cannibalistic children that feel no pain and inhuman corpses that can melt. Tied up in the midst of all this, are: Abhay Rajvardhan, a seemingly ordinary young man who discovers his dead father’s secrets and connection to a clandestine army of Vishwamitra, dating back to the ages before the epic battle of the Mahabharata. Light years away, Dhwani of Swargam, a 600-year-old Angiri Celestial, finds herself embroiled in a web of deceit and intrigue, as she discovers evidence of a traitor among the Angiris, working with the Asuras. Their fates are bound to an artifact of great power that will draw to it both the forces of light and darkness. The Ultimate Weapon of the gods, the Brahmāstra, will make the lines blur between myth and reality, revealing a forgotten history of the world and the rest of the universe…Whoever has it, possesses the weapon to end all other weapons—and the world. The Three shall be unified as the One…
