The Toothless Cobra and other stories from the wild by Nabanita Deshmukh Pdf

Grandma cobra has lost her tooth, and she is furious because she can’t find it. To make it worse, it is a moonless night and the jungle is pitch dark. Maybe that slimy frog Mandu has stolen it thinking that it’s a treasure. And Kumi, a little adivasi girl, is out there in the dense forest looking for the chataka bird. But why? Because the fields of her village are parched, and the chataka is the messenger of rain, for it is known to ride on the monsoon winds. The Toothless Cobra… takes the readers into the heart of the wild and reveals its mysterious creatures in all their majesty, all their moods. Its charming illustrations bring the animals to life and capture them in action in their natural habitat. This collection of short stories promotes the idea of positive human–animal interactions and encourages young readers to love and care for animals.

Snake-Bite and Other Stories by Robert Smythe Hichen Pdf

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The Tampines Tiger and Other Stories by Norman Williams & Rex Kearns Pdf

Here lie the memoirs of Ponsenby who has a great propensity for being in the wrong place at the wrong time - thereby seeing, hearing and experiencing so much and all with a difference. He travels through history and time, across vastly differing landscapes and delves into the most mysterious places of all... human endeavour, beliefs, culture and society. Ponsenby is a British-Indian medic – or sawbones as he describes himself – a livelihood that perceives both the serious and sombre perspectives on life, and always with a wry twist of humour. Oh, and another place to go: contemplation and reflection – “And a beautiful sadness filled our hearts. And because we could not leave it, the sadness slowly and inexorably turned into compassion. We felt the sorrow of the whole world, of little frightened children, of the blind, the halt and the lame, and of those separated from their loved ones...”

This Keeps Happening by H. B. Hogan Pdf

Fiction. Short Stories. A bush party leads to self-immolation. A cab ride ends in warfare. A squirrel is eviscerated. A universally impossible dare is accepted and proves not to be fatal. The weird kid triumphs. The stories in H. B. Hogan's debut collection sizzle like butter on hot cast iron--they're rich and dark and full of scrappy, sordid, and sparkling humanity. "In her darkly entertaining debut collection, H.B. Hogan brings us tales of people who find themselves on the wrong side of the social divide."--Toronto Star "H. B. Hogan's stories are dirty, fresh, and brutally funny, lingering on little human details until they're just uncomfortable enough--then pushing a little farther. Their wickedness will stay with you for days."--Michelle Winters "What I love most about these stories is the many ways that redemption is made completely absurd, as if to point out how rare and how tenuous moments of self-fulfillment really are. I want to avoid spoilers but I'll just say that it's not often that a story makes me gasp in shock and burst out laughing in a single paragraph."--Claire Farley

The Book of Snakes by Mark O'Shea Pdf

Updated to reflect the most recent species classifications, a second edition of the beautifully illustrated and beloved guide to 600 members of the suborder Serpentes. For millennia, humans have regarded snakes with an exceptional combination of fascination and revulsion. Some people recoil in fear at the very suggestion of these creatures, while others happily keep them as pets. Snakes can convey both beauty and menace in a single tongue flick, and so these creatures have held a special place in our cultures. Yet, for as many meanings as we attribute to snakes—from fertility and birth to sin and death—the real-life species represent an even wider array of wonders. Now in a new edition, reflecting the most recent species classifications, The Book of Snakes presents 600 species of snakes from around the world, covering roughly one in seven of all snake species. It will bring greater understanding of a group of reptiles that have existed for more than 160 million years and that now inhabit every continent except Antarctica, as well as two of the great oceans. This volume pairs spectacular photos with easy-to-digest text. It is the first book on these creatures that combines a broad, worldwide sample with full-color, life-size accounts. Entries include close-ups of the snake’s head and a section of the snake at actual size. The detailed images allow readers to examine the intricate scale patterns and rainbow of colors as well as special features like a cobra’s hood or a rattlesnake’s rattle. The text is written for laypeople and includes a glossary of frequently used terms. Herpetologists and herpetoculturists alike will delight in this collection, and even those with a more cautious stance on snakes will find themselves drawn in by the wild diversity of the suborder Serpentes.

Blinding by Mircea Cartarescu Pdf

Part visceral dream-memoir, part fictive journey through a hallucinatory Bucharest, Mircea Cărtărescu’s Blinding was one of the most widely heralded literary sensations in contemporary Romania, and a bestseller from the day of its release. Riddled with hidden passageways, mesmerizing tapestries, and whispering butterflies, Blinding takes us on a mystical trip into the protagonist’s childhood, his memories of hospitalization as a teenager, the prehistory of his family, a traveling circus, Secret police, zombie armies, American fighter pilots, the underground jazz scene of New Orleans, and the installation of the communist regime. This kaleidoscopic world is both eerily familiar and profoundly new. Readers of Blinding will emerge from this strange pilgrimage shaken, and entirely transformed. From the Trade Paperback edition.
