The Immortals of Meluha (Book 1 of Shiva Trilogy) By Amish
Rs 312
The legend of Shiva is told as a gripping fantasy in which Hindu myths are interpreted from a unique perspective. A fast moving action narrative in which we also learn of the origin of the Brahmins, the magical anti-ageing drink Somras, the concepts of Vishnu and others. Somewhere in an attempt to find the right answers, we forget the more important task of asking the right questions. At the end of the first book, Shiva is asking the right question - in fact the most crucial one: “What is evil?” And on his interpretation of the answer and in the very duality of life, hangs the fate of India.

A Theory of Justice By John Rawls
Rs 840
Since it appeared in 1971, John Rawls’s A Theory of Justice has become a classic. The author has now revised the original edition to clear up a number of difficulties he and others have found in the original book.
Rawls substitutes the ideal of the social contract as a more satisfactory account of the basic rights and liberties of citizens as free and equal persons. “Each person,” writes Rawls, “possesses an inviolability founded on justice that even the welfare of society as a whole cannot override.” Advancing the ideas of Rousseau, Kant, Emerson, and Lincoln, Rawls’s theory is as powerful today as it was when first published.
