The Complete Sherlock Holmes
By Sir Doyle Arthur Conan

221 B Baker Street. When Dr. James Watson agreed to meet the tenant in order to come to some cohabitation agreement, he had already been warned that the man was eccentric. However, the word eccentric falls short in describing the experience that is Sherlock Holmes. A self-professed private detective, Sherlock Holmes, is often visited by clients who seek his help in strange cases of all kinds. However, Sherlock doesn’t take any case he gets. No, this nicotine addict gets his kicks from only the most nerve-rankling of cases, ones that often involve murder or crimes most macabre. He asks Watson to join him as he unravels the threads behind these cases using his unique “science of deduction”. In the process, Watson begins to understand that there might not be any mystery that Sherlock Holmes cannot solve.
Follow the world’s greatest detective and his loyal comrade as they dig into a series of mind-boggling cases in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Complete Sherlock Holmes. This volume contains all 56 short stories and 4 novels.

“My name is Sherlock Holmes. It is my business to know what other people do not know.”
― Arthur Conan Doyle, The adventure of the blue carbuncle, The Complete Sherlock Holmes

About Arthur Conan Doyle

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a Scottish writer and physician best known for his mystery novels and short stories featuring Sherlock Holmes. He is also famous for his Professor Challenger series detailed in: The Lost World, The Poison Belt and The Land of Mist.
Doyle studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh. He was knighted in 1902 by King Edward for his services as a volunteer doctor in the Langman Field Hospital at Bloemfontein between March and June 1900.

కందుకూరి వీరేశలింగం పంతులు

కందుకూరి వీరేశలింగం (1848 ఏప్రిల్ 16 - 1919 మే 27 ) గొప్ప సంఘ సంస్కర్త, తెలుగు జాతి గర్వించదగ్గ మహోన్నత వ్యక్తి. సాహితీ వ్యాసంగంలోను కృషి చేసిన కందుకూరి బహుముఖ ప్రజ్ఞాశాలి. తెలుగు జాతికి నవయుగ వైతాళికుడు. వీరేశలింగం స్త్రీవిద్యకై ఉద్యమించి, ప్రచారం చెయ్యడమే కాక, బాలికల కొరకు పాఠశాలను ప్రారంభించాడు.మగపిల్లలతో ఆడపిల్లలు కలిసి చదువుకునే సహ విద్యా విధానాన్ని ప్రవేశపెట్టాడు కూడా. అంటరాని కులాలకు చెందిన పిల్లలను కూడా చేర్చుకుని మిగతా పిల్లలతో కలిపి కూర్చోబెట్టేవాడు. వారికి ఉచితంగా చదువు చెప్పడంతో బాటు, పుస్తకాలు, పలకా బలపాలు కొనిచ్చేవాడు. అప్పటి సమాజంలో బాల్యంలోనే ఆడపిల్లలకు పెళ్ళిళ్ళు చేసేవారు. కాపురాలకు పోకముందే భర్తలు చనిపోయి, వితంతువులై, అనేక కష్టనష్టాలు ఎదుర్కొనే వారు. దీనిని రూపుమాపేందుకు వితంతు పునర్వివాహాలు జరిపించాలని ప్రచారం చేయటమే కాకుండా ఎన్ని కష్టాలెదురైన ఆచరణలో పెట్టాడు. 
ఆంధ్ర దేశంలో బ్రహ్మ సమాజం స్థాపించాడు. యువజన సంఘాల స్థాపన కూడా వీరేశలింగం తోనే మొదలయింది. సమాజ సేవ కొరకు హితకారిణి (హితకారిణీ సమాజం 1905 లో) అనే ధర్మ సంస్థను స్థాపించి, తన యావదాస్తిని దానికి ఇచ్చేసాడు. 25 సంవత్సరాల పాటు రాజమండ్రిలో తెలుగు పండితుడిగా పనిచేసి, మద్రాసు ప్రెసిడెన్సీ కళాశాలలో తెలుగు పండితుడిగా ఐదేళ్ళు పనిచేసాడు. ఆయన 130 కి పైగా గ్రంథాలు వ్రాసాడు. ఆన్ని గ్రంథాలు వ్రాసిన వారు తెలుగులో అరుదు. రాజశేఖర చరిత్ర అనే నవల, సత్యరాజా పూర్వ దేశయాత్రలు ఆయన రచనలలో ప్రముఖమైనవి. అనేక ఇంగ్లీషు, సంస్కృత గ్రంథాలను తెలుగులోకి అనువదించాడు. బడి పిల్లల కొరకు వాచకాలు వ్రాసాడు. స్వీయ చరిత్ర వ్రాసాడు. ఆంధ్ర కవుల చరిత్రను కూడా ప్రచురించాడు.

~~~

రాజశేఖర చరిత్రము

తెలుగు భాషలో మొట్ట మొదటి బహుళ ఆదరణ పొందిన వచన నవల. కందుకూరి వీరేశలింగంగారు ఈ నవలను అలీవర్ గోల్డ్‌స్మిత్ ఆంగ్లంలో వ్రాసిన ది వికార్ అఫ్ వేక్ ఫీల్డ్ నుండి ప్రేరణ పొందినట్లు పేర్కొన్నా పెద్ద సంబంధములేక అన్ని విషయాలు కొత్తవేనని రచన పుస్తకంగా రెండవ ముద్రణ వెలువడినపుడు తెలియచేసారు.. ఈ పుస్తకం ఆంగ్లం, తమిళం, కన్నడ మొదలగు భాషలకు అనువాదం చేయబడి ప్రజాదరణ పొందినది. ఎన్నోసార్లు యూనివర్శిటీ పాఠ్యపుస్తకంగా కూడా ఎంపిక చేయబడింది.

తెలుగు నవలలో ఇదే మొదటిది కాకున్నా ఈ పుస్తకం ప్రభావం రీత్యా తెలుగు మొదటి నవలగా పేరుగాంచినదని, తరువాత వ్రాసిన నవల లన్నిటికీ, నవలా రచయిత లందరకూ చాలా కాలం వరకూ, రాజశేఖర చరిత్రమే మార్గదర్శకంగా వున్నది,కనుకనే రాజశేఖర చరిత్రం తొలి తెలుగు నవల ఆయినదని ఈ నవలపై విమర్ననాత్మక గ్రంథం రాసిన రాసిన డా॥అక్కిరాజు రమాపతిరావు గారు పేర్కొన్నాడు. ఈ నవలలో ఆనాడు సంఘంలో ప్రచురంగా కొనసాగుతున్న సర్వ దురాచారాలనూ, పంతులు గారు యీ నవలలో వజ్రాభమైన తమ నిశిత బుద్ధిని చూపి, ఆవేశంతో చెండాడారని రమాపతిరావు తెలిపాడు. సుప్రసిద్ద నవలా రచయిత చిలకమర్తి లక్ష్మీనరసింహం గారు తమ స్వీయ చరిత్రలో తాము నవలలు వ్రాయటం రాజశేఖర చరిత్రం చదివి, గ్రహించి, నేర్చుకున్నామని వ్రాసుకున్నారు.

Alibaba: 

The House That 

Jack Ma Built

by Duncan Clark

An engrossing, insider’s account of how a teacher built one of the world’s most valuable companies—rivaling Walmart & Amazon—and forever reshaped the global economy.

In just a decade and half Jack Ma, a man from modest beginnings who started out as an English teacher, founded and built Alibaba into one of the world’s largest companies, an e-commerce empire on which hundreds of millions of Chinese consumers depend. Alibaba’s $25 billion IPO in 2014 was the largest global IPO ever. A Rockefeller of his age who is courted by CEOs and Presidents around the world, Jack is an icon for China’s booming private sector and the gatekeeper to hundreds of millions of middle class consumers.

Duncan Clark first met Jack in 1999 in the small apartment where Jack founded Alibaba. Granted unprecedented access to a wealth of new material including exclusive interviews, Clark draws on his own experience as an early advisor to Alibaba and two decades in China chronicling the Internet’s impact on the country to create an authoritative, compelling narrative account of Alibaba’s rise.

How did Jack overcome his humble origins and early failures to achieve massive success with Alibaba? How did he outsmart rival entrepreneurs from China and Silicon Valley? Can Alibaba maintain its 80% market share? As it forges ahead into finance and entertainment, are there limits to Alibaba’s ambitions?  How does the Chinese government view its rise?  Will Alibaba expand further overseas, including in the U.S.?

Clark tells Alibaba’s tale in the context of China’s momentous economic and social changes, illuminating an unlikely corporate titan as never before.

TWILIGHT SAGA

BY   STEPHENIE MEYER

Twilight is a series of four vampire-themed fantasy romance novels by American author Stephenie Meyer. Released annually from 2005 through 2008, the four books chart the later teen years of Isabella "Bella" Swan, a girl who moves to Forks, Washington, and falls in love with a 104-year-old vampire named Edward Cullen. The series is told primarily from Bella's point of view, with the epilogue of Eclipse and Part II of Breaking Dawn being told from the viewpoint of character Jacob Black, a werewolf.

---

---

Twilight

Bella Swan moves from Phoenix, Arizona to live with her father in Forks, Washington to allow her mother to travel with her new husband, a minor league baseball player. After moving to Forks, Bella finds herself involuntarily drawn to a mysterious, handsome boy, Edward Cullen and eventually learns that he is a member of a vampire family which drinks animal blood rather than human blood. Edward and Bella fall in love, while James, a sadistic vampire from another coven, is drawn to hunt down Bella. Edward and the other Cullens defend Bella. She escapes to Phoenix, where she is tricked into confronting James, who tries to kill her. She is seriously wounded, but Edward rescues her and they return to Forks.

New Moon

Edward and his family leave Forks because he believes he is endangering Bella's life. Bella goes into a depression until she develops a strong friendship with Jacob Black, who she discovers can shape-shift into a wolf. Jacob and the other wolves in his tribe must protect her from Victoria, a vampire seeking to avenge the death of her mate James. Due to a misunderstanding, Edward believes Bella is dead. Edward decides to commit suicide in Volterra, Italy, but is stopped by Bella, who is accompanied by Edward's sister, Alice. They meet with the Volturi, a powerful vampire coven, and are released only on the condition that Bella be turned into a vampire in the near future. Bella and Edward are reunited, and she and the Cullens return to Forks.

Eclipse

Victoria has created an army of "newborn" vampires to battle the Cullen family and murder Bella for revenge. Meanwhile, Bella is compelled to choose between her relationship with Edward and her friendship with Jacob. Edward's vampire family and Jacob's werewolf pack join forces to successfully destroy Victoria and her vampire army. In the end, Bella chooses Edward's love over Jacob's friendship and agrees to marry Edward.

DOWNLOAD

Breaking Dawn

Bella and Edward are married, but their honeymoon is cut short when Bella discovers that she is pregnant. Her pregnancy progresses rapidly, severely weakening her. She nearly dies giving birth to her and Edward's half-vampire-half-human daughter, Renesmee. Edward injects Bella with his venom to save her life and turns her into a vampire. A vampire from another coven sees Renesmee and mistakes her for an "immortal child". She informs the Volturi, as the existence of such beings violates vampire law. The Cullens gather vampire witnesses who can verify that Renesmee is not an immortal child. After an intense confrontation, the Cullens and their witnesses convince the Volturi that the child poses no danger to vampires or their secret, and they are left in peace by the Volturi.

Relevant to today’s war-torn world, The Palace of Illusions takes us back to a time that is half history, half myth, and wholly magical. Narrated by Panchaali, the wife of the legendary Pandavas brothers in the Mahabharat, the novel gives us a new interpretation of this ancient tale. 

The novel traces the princess Panchaali's life, beginning with her birth in fire and following her spirited balancing act as a woman with five husbands who have been cheated out of their father’s kingdom. Panchaali is swept into their quest to reclaim their birthright, remaining at their side through years of exile and a terrible civil war involving all the important kings of India. Meanwhile, we never lose sight of her strategic duels with her mother-in-law, her complicated friendship with the enigmatic Krishna, or her secret attraction to the mysterious man who is her husbands' most dangerous enemy. Panchaali is a fiery female redefining for us a world of warriors, gods, and the ever-manipulating hands of fate.

The Spy Chronicles: RAW, ISI and the Illusion of Peace (2018) 

By A.S. Dulat, Aditya Sinha, Asad Durrani

'Pointing to the horizon where the sea and sky are joined, he says, 'It is only an illusion because they can't really meet, but isn't it beautiful, this union which isn't really there.' - SAADAT HASAN MANTO 

Sometime in 2016, a series of dialogues took place which set out to find a meeting ground, even if only an illusion, between A.S. Dulat and Asad Durrani. One was a former chief of RAW, India's external intelligence agency, the other of ISI, its Pakistani counterpart. As they could not meet in their home countries, the conversations, guided by journalist Aditya Sinha, took place in cities like Istanbul, Bangkok and Kathmandu. On the table were subjects that have long haunted South Asia, flashpoints that take lives regularly. It was in all ways a deep dive into the politics of the subcontinent, as seen through the eyes of two spymasters. Among the subjects: Kashmir, and a missed opportunity for peace; Hafiz Saeed and 26/11; Kulbhushan Jadhav; surgical strikes; the deal for Osama bin Laden; how the US and Russia feature in the India-Pakistan relationship; and how terror undermines the two countries' attempts at talks.

bruce lee: a life

by Matthew Polly

“The first noteworthy treatment of its subject—and a definitive one at that...Fascinating narrative threads proliferate.” —The New York Times Book Review

The most authoritative biography—featuring dozens of rarely seen photographs—of film legend Bruce Lee, who made martial arts a global phenomenon, bridged the divide between Eastern and Western cultures, and smashed long-held stereotypes of Asians and Asian-Americans.

Forty-five years after Bruce Lee’s sudden death at age thirty-two, journalist and bestselling author Matthew Polly has written the definitive account of Lee’s life. It’s also one of the only accounts; incredibly, there has never been an authoritative biography of Lee. Following a decade of research that included conducting more than one hundred interviews with Lee’s family, friends, business associates, and even the actress in whose bed Lee died, Polly has constructed a complex, humane portrait of the icon.

Polly explores Lee’s early years as a child star in Hong Kong cinema; his actor father’s struggles with opium addiction and how that turned Bruce into a trouble-making teenager who was kicked out of high college and eventually sent to America to shape up; his beginnings as a martial arts teacher, eventually becoming personal instructor to movie stars like James Coburn and Steve McQueen; his struggles as an Asian-American actor in Hollywood and frustration seeing role after role he auditioned for go to a white actors in eye makeup; his eventual triumph as a leading man; his challenges juggling a sky-rocketing career with his duties as a father and husband; and his shocking end that to this day is still shrouded in mystery.

Polly breaks down the myths surrounding Bruce Lee and argues that, contrary to popular belief, he was an ambitious actor who was obsessed with the martial arts—not a kung-fu guru who just so happened to make a couple of movies. This is an honest, revealing look at an impressive yet imperfect man whose personal story was even more entertaining and inspiring than any fictional role he played onscreen.

Empire of the Moghul

by Alex Rutherford

Empire of the Moghul is a series of historical fiction novels written by Alex Rutherford (the pen name for Diana and Michael Preston). The series consists of six volumes covering the rise and height of the Moghul Empire in medieval India.

---

---

1) Raiders from the north

The first book in the Empire of the Moghul series: chronicling the rise and fall of the Moghul rulers of India, beginning with Babur who swept in from Central Asia to found one of the most powerful dynasties in history.

1494, and the new ruler of Ferghana, twelve-year-old Babur, faces a seemingly impossible challenge. Babur is determined to equal his great ancestor, Tamburlaine, whose conquests stretched from Delhi to the Mediterranean, from wealthy Persia to the wild Volga. But he is dangerously young to inherit a crown and treasonous plots, tribal rivalries, rampaging armies and ruthlessly ambitious enemies will threaten his destiny, his kingdom, even his survival.

2) Brothers at war

The second enthralling installment in Alex Rutherford's Empire of the Moghul series.

1530, Agra, Northern India. Humayun, the newly-crowned second Moghul Emperor, is a fortunate man. His father, Babur, has bequeathed him wealth, glory and an empire which stretches a thousand miles south from the Khyber pass; he must now build on his legacy, and make the Moghuls worthy of their forebear, Tamburlaine. But, unbeknownst to him, Humayun is already in grave danger. His half-brothers are plotting against him; they doubt that he has the strength, the will, the brutality needed to command the Moghul armies and lead them to still-greater glories. Perhaps they are right. Soon Humayun will be locked in a terrible battle: not only for his crown, not only for his life, but for the existence of the very empire itself.

3) Ruler of the World

Keep your enemies close, and your sons closer...

The story of the third great Moghul Emperor, Akbar, leader of a triumphant dynasty which contained the seeds of its own destruction.

Akbar, ruler of a sixth of the world's people, colossally rich and utterly ruthless, was a contemporary of Elizabeth I, but infinitely more powerful. His reign began in bloodshed when he strangled his treacherous 'milk-brother', but it ended in glory.

Akbar extended his rule over much of Asia, skillfully commanding tens of thousands of men, elephants and innovative technology, yet despite the unimaginable bloodshed which resulted his empire was based on universal religious tolerance.

However, Akbar's homelife was more complicated. He defied family, nobles and mullahs to marry a beautiful Rajput princess, whose people he had conquered; but she hated Akbar and turned Salim, his eldest son, against him. What's more, as any Moghul prince could inherit his father's crown and become Emperor, his sons were brought up to be intensely competitive and suspicious of each other: to see each other as rivals for the greatest prize of all. And, as Salim grew to manhood, the relationship between father and son became tainted by rebellion and competition to be the greatest Moghul of them all.

4) Tainted throne

The brutal battle for power continues in the fourth book in the epic Empire of the Moghul series.

Agra, India, 1606. Jahangir, the triumphant Moghul Emperor and ruler of most of the Indian subcontinent, is doomed. No amount of wealth and ruthlessness can protect him from his sons' desire for power. The glorious Moghul throne is worth any amount of bloodshed and betrayal; once Jahangir raised troops against his own father; now he faces a bloody battle with Khurram, the ablest of his warring sons.

Worse is to come. Just as the heirs of Timur the Great share intelligence, physical strength and utter ruthlessness, they also have a great weakness for wine and opium. Once Jahangir is tempted, his talented wife, Mehrunissa, is only too willing to take up the reins of empire. And with Khurram and his half-brothers each still determined to be their father's heir, the savage battle for the Moghul throne will be more ferocious than even Timur could have imagined...

5) The Serpent's Tooth

The new Moghul Emperor Shah Jahan reigns over a colossally wealthy empire of 100 million souls. Yet to gain his throne he has followed the savage 'throne or coffin' traditions of his ancestors - descendants of Genghis Khan and Tamburlaine. Ever since the Moghuls took India, brother has fought brother and sons their fathers for the prize and Shah Jahan has been no exception.

As his reign dawns, now is the time for Shah Jahan to secure his throne by crushing his enemies. Instead, devastated by the death of his beautiful wife Mumtaz, he becomes obsessed with building an epic monument to their perfect love - the Taj Mahal. His overwhelming grief isolates him from his sons and he does not see the rivalries, indeed hatreds, building between them. When he falls ill, civil war breaks out - ruthless, murderous and uncontrollable - and the foundations of the empire itself begin to shake.

6) Traitors in the Shadows

'TRAITORS IN THE SHADOWS is the sixth gripping novel in the action-packed Empire of the Moghul series by Alex Rutherford, perfect for fans of Simon Scarrow and Robyn Young. 'Totally absorbing... Authentic characters and sweeping action' - Wilbur Smith

A dynasty at war

A new emperor, Aurangzeb, sits on India's glittering Peacock Throne - the throne he seized from his father while the old emperor still lived. He has paid for it with blood: during the brutal civil war he hunted down and killed his brothers. Now he must return the Moghul Empire to the true path and achieve new glory. But the exercise of great power is isolating. With enemies everywhere, who should he trust? Certainly not his sons. He must rely on himself and the knowledge that there are more ways to subdue a man than on the battlefield.

But as the years pass memories haunt him - memories of a father who never loved him and a mother who lies in the Taj Mahal; of murdered brothers and of sons and daughters locked in sunless prisons. He tells himself that everything he has done has been necessary - moral, even. But how will his God judge him?
