| Summary/Abstract |
The dramatic and sometimes heartbreaking story of families striving toward a better life in one of the twenty-first century's great, unequal cities. In this fast-paced book, based on three years of uncompromising reporting, a bewildering age of global change and inequality is made human. Annawadi is a makeshift settlement in the shadow of luxury hotels near the Mumbai airport, and as India starts to prosper, Annawadians are electric with hope. Abdul, a reflective and enterprising Muslim teenager, sees fortune in the recyclable garbage of richer people. Asha, a woman of formidable wit and deep scars from a rural childhood, has identified an alternate route to the middle class: political corruption. And even the poorest Annawadians, like Kalu, a fifteen-year-old scrap-metal thief, believe themselves inching closer to good times. But then, as the tenderest individual hopes intersect with the greatest global truths, the true contours of a competitive age are revealed.--From publisher description.

| Summary/Abstract |
War has spread from the borders of India to the forests in the very heart of the country. Combining brilliant analysis and reportage by one of India's iconic writers, "Broken Republic" examines the nature of progress and development in the emerging global superpower, and asks fundamental questions about modern civilization itself - in three incisive essays: Mr Chidambaram's War 'The low, flat-topped hills of south Orissa have been home to the Dongria Kondh long before there was a country called India or a state called Orissa ...' Walking with the Comrades 'The terse, typewritten note slipped under my door in a sealed envelope confirmed my appointment with 'India's single biggest internal security challenge'. I'd been waiting for months to hear from them ...' Trickledown Revolution 'In the early morning hours of 2 July 2010, in the remote forests of Adilabad, the Andhra Pradesh State Police fired a bullet into the chest of a man called Cherukuri Rajkumar, known to his comrades as Azad ...' On Naxalite movement and Indian state's counter insurgency methods and other policies.

| Summary/Abstract |
'Big Daddy' Pollitt, the richest cotton planter in the Mississippi Delta, is about to celebrate his sixty-fifth birthday. His two sons have returned home for the occasion: Gooper, his wife and children, Brick, an ageing football hero who has turned to drink, and his feisty wife Maggie. As the hot summer evening unfolds, the veneer of happy family life and Southern gentility gradually slips away as unpleasant truths emerge and greed, lies, jealousy and suppressed sexuality threaten to reach boiling point. Made into a film starring Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is a masterly portrayal of family tensions and individuals trapped in prisons of their own making.

| Summary/Abstract |
Widely considered to be Ariel Dorfman's most influential play, Death and the Maiden explores the challenges of restoring democracy and stability to a country recovering from an oppressive military dictatorship. Even though the play never specifically names Chile as its setting, Dorfman's inspiration for Death and the Maiden came from his experiences as an exile from his native land after General Augusto Pinochet's military coup and his subsequent return to Chile after Pinochet's defeat.

Death of a Salesman is a painful examination of American life and consumerism. Opening on Broadway the following year, Miller's extraordinary masterpiece changed the course of modern theatre. In creating Willy Loman, his destructively insecure anti-hero, Miller himself defined his aim as being 'to set forth what happens when a man does not have a grip on the forces of life.'

No philosopher has held a higher opinion of art than Hegel, yet none has been so profoundly pessimistic about its prospects - despite living in the German golden age of Goethe, Mozart and Schiller. Hegel believed that the artists of classical Greece had found the perfect fusion of content and form, but modern artists faced complicating - and ultimately disabling - questions. This book stands as a passionately argued work that challenged the ability of art to respond to the modern world.
Accompanied by an introduction and a commentary by Michael Inwood, which provides the ideal starting point for one of the most rewarding books every written on the theory of art.

| Summary/Abstract |
Descartes was prepared to go to any lengths in his search for certainty - even to deny those things that seemed most self-evident. He set out to dismantle and reconstruct the idea of the individual self and its existence. In doing so, Descartes developed a language of subjectivity that lasted to this day and he also took his first steps towards the view that would eventually be expressed in the epigram Cogito, ergo sum, ("I think, therefore I am") one of philosophy's most famous - and most fiercely contested - claims.
