DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This collection of short stories represents multiple human experiences. The stories are about the experiences of a ghost, passionate love and infatuation in married life; conflict in conjugal life and its consequences, the cultural affluence of an Indian village; humor resultant of a rustic man’s habit of prank-playing, and undergoing an irksome experience of fishing. Lalji Das and Shekhar have terrifying experiences while encountering ghosts. Champa and Komal believe that love remains undefeated in the world and that even hell cannot stand in the path of love. Kalpana Devi’s undue imposition upon her son results into her own repentance of guilt. The fate of Kamlakshi exposes how misunderstanding in conjugal life annihilates family life. India Heaven presents a eulogy on the cultural affluence of an Indian village witnessed by Mr. Brown and Mr. Flory. Prank playing isn’t always good and sometimes throws a man into a crisis.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Presenting an innovative, interdisciplinary approach to colonial America's best-known literary genre, Andrew Newman analyzes depictions of reading, writing, and recollecting texts in Indian captivity narratives. While histories of literacy and colonialism have emphasized the experiences of Native Americans, as students in missionary schools or as parties to treacherous treaties, captivity narratives reveal what literacy meant to colonists among Indians. Colonial captives treasured the written word in order to distinguish themselves from their Native captors and to affiliate with their distant cultural communities. Their narratives suggest that Indians recognized this value, sometimes with benevolence: repeatedly, they presented colonists with books. In this way and others, Scriptures, saintly lives, and even Shakespeare were introduced into diverse experiences of colonial captivity. What other scholars have understood more simply as textual parallels, Newman argues instead may reflect lived allegories, the identification of one's own unfolding story with the stories of others. In an authoritative, wide-ranging study that encompasses the foundational New England narratives, accounts of martyrdom and cultural conversion in New France and Mohawk country in the 1600s, and narratives set in Cherokee territory and the Great Lakes region during the late eighteenth century, Newman opens up old tales to fresh, thought-provoking interpretations.
