We, The Citizens

… the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.

Walt Whitman

What is a republic? How do markets work? What is the role of society in bringing about change? These may be abstract questions, but they have a concrete impact on all of us.

We, the citizens, live at the intersection of the Indian state, market and society. Yet, many of us are unaware of what these entities stand for, how they interact with each other, and how they touch our lives.

We, The Citizens, by Khyati Pathak, Anupam Manur and Pranay Kotasthane, decodes public policy in the Indian context in a graphical narrative format relatable to readers of all ages. If you want to be an engaged citizen, aspire to be a positive change-maker, or wish to understand our sociopolitical environment, this book is for you.

The idea of India was an audacious dream. The fulfilment of this dream lies upon We, the citizens.

Haruki Murakami Manga Stories 1: Super-Frog Saves Tokyo, The Seventh Man, Birthday Girl, Where I’m Likely to Find It

Haruki Murakami’s stories in graphic novel form for the first time!

Haruki Murakami’s novels, essays and short stories have sold millions of copies worldwide and been translated into dozens of languages. Now for the first time, many of Murakami’s best-loved short stories are available in graphic novel form in English. Haruki Murakami Manga Stories 1 is the first of three volumes, which will present a total of 9 short stories from Murakami’s bestselling collections.

With their trademark mix of realism and fantasy, centering around Murakami’s characteristic themes of loss, remorse and confusion, the four stories in this volume are:

“Super-Frog Saves Tokyo”: A few days after an earthquake, Katagiri discovers a giant frog in this home. The frog promises to save Tokyo from another earthquake, but Katagiri must help him. Is this real, or is Katagiri dreaming? “[This story has] such an engaging mix of realism and fantasy that it takes a while for you to realize what a sad undertow the story has and how much it says about Katagiri’s solitary life, his feelings of powerlessness and his dread of another quake.” —The New York Times

“Where I’m Likely to Find It”: A woman’s husband goes missing so she hires detective. As the detective traces the man’s whereabouts, he reflects on the meaning of his own life. “A searching Kafkaesque parable about disappearance, loss and coping.” –Kirkus Reviews

“Birthday Girl”: A woman tells her friend the story of a surreal encounter she has on her twentieth birthday with the owner of the restaurant where she works, who grants her a wish.

The Seventh Man: The story of a man scarred by the death of his childhood friend in a tsunami. “Although Murakami’s style and deadpan humour are wonderfully distinctive, his emotional territory is more familiar–remorse, unresolved confusion, sudden epiphanies–though heightened by the surreal. In ‘The Seventh Man,’ one of his saddest stories, the narrator recalls the wave that reared up during a freak storm and engulfed his childhood friend.”–The Guardian

This novel visual take on these classic Murakami stories will be devoured by his fans and provide a new window onto his work for younger readers not yet familiar with it!

Staying true to their theme, the cartoons and comics in the book will speak about wildlife, ecology, interesting trivia about the lives of wild animals, and how the lives of these creatures are entwined with ours.

A comprehensive and satirical take on various aspects of the natural world and the threats to its conservation, Pugmarks and Carbon Footprints will appeal both to the scientifically inclined reader as well as the layman.
