Forbidden Flower by Ashiq Sufiana Pdf

Forbidden Flower might well be that elusive Great Indian Novel. It is philosophical, artistic, and even exotic with a spicy Indian flavor in spite of being played out on a global scale, touching geographical locales like Miami, London, and of course, select parts of a colourful and vibrant India. The narrative is rooted in the dramatic confrontation between Immunitis, a modern disease deadlier than AIDS, (reaching pandemic levels in the West), and Ayurved, an ancient Indian system of healing, inherited from the gods and the sages. It is also the saga of conflict between cutting edge modern science and sacred ancient wisdom. Between, momentary arrogance and enduring values. Igniting and sustaining the hope for a return to sanity through an eventful path of insane turbulence.

Not Your China Doll by Katie Gee Salisbury Pdf

“Enlightening, nuanced, and honest.”—Lisa See Set against the glittering backdrop of Los Angeles during the gin-soaked Jazz Age and the rise of Hollywood, this debut book celebrates Anna May Wong, the first Asian American movie star, to bring an unsung heroine to light and reclaim her place in cinema history. Before Constance Wu, Sandra Oh, Awkwafina, or Lucy Liu, there was Anna May Wong. In her time, she was a legendary beauty, witty conversationalist, and fashion icon. Plucked from her family’s laundry business in Los Angeles, Anna May Wong rose to stardom in Douglas Fairbanks’s blockbuster The Thief of Bagdad. Fans and the press clamored to see more of this unlikely actress, but when Hollywood repeatedly cast her in stereotypical roles, she headed abroad in protest. Anna May starred in acclaimed films in Berlin, Paris, and London. She dazzled royalty and heads of state across several nations, leaving trails of suitors in her wake. She returned to challenge Hollywood at its own game by speaking out about the industry’s blatant racism. She used her new stature to move away from her typecasting as the China doll or dragon lady, and worked to reshape Asian American representation in film. Filled with stories of capricious directors and admiring costars, glamorous parties and far-flung love affairs, Not Your China Doll showcases the vibrant, radical life of a groundbreaking artist.
