The Mahabharatha: A Child's View

Twelve year old Samhita Arni's beautifully illustrated version of the Mahabharatha is a bold and fresh re-telling of the great epic. The epic which was earlier in two separate volumes is now available in a single volume.


New

Written and illustrated by Samhita Arni

The great Indian epic Mahabharatha is a complex tale of ambition, war and destruction. Twelve year old Samhita Arni's version is bold and unorthodox in its depiction of character and in the sharply critical tone it adopts towards the epic's main theme: war. Samhita has illustrated the book herself with intricate line drawings.

Revolution

A unique picture-book for adults with content that is discernibly political, Revolution is a powerful allegory in red, black and white by French artist Sara.


Revolution By Sara A unique picture-book for adults with content that is discernibly political, Revolution is a powerful allegory in red, black and white by French artist Sara. Her simple yet forceful collage art evokes revolt, repression and war, but also immutable freedom in the face of tyranny. Charged with emotion, this is a world in which visuals take the place of words. Sara’s torn-paper technique creates a new language that makes for an impassioned but minimalist narrative, drawing the reader into and beyond the struggle for liberty. This English edition also includes an afterword on historical people’s revolutions and struggles from around the world. Revolution is unique combination of art and politics for all ages that communicates through visual language a timely and ardent story of the perpetual struggle for freedom, shedding perspective on past uprisings through to current events. Artists, activists, politicos, idealists and geronimos will find a spot in their hearts and on their bookshelves for this compelling book. * Winner of “The Golden Apple” at the 20th Biennial of Illustrations at Bratislava in 2005.
