Ramayana is one of the most popular epics in the world, having been
translated into various languages. It is a tale of Ram, the prince
of Ayodhya, who was banished to the forest for 14 years. To honour
his father's word, he agreed to be exiled without any murmur or
rancour. In the forest, Ram, his wife Sita and his brother Lakshman
met saints, new friends and strange foes. Each day brought new
adventures. But their spartan, yet happy life was spoilt when Ravan
of Lanka, the king of demons, abducted Sita. To rescue her, Ram
enlisted the help of the vanar sena (monkey army) of Hanuman. In
that battle many heroes died and new ones had come alive. The book
Ramayana Tales for Children is a compilation of 40 one-page stories
for children. Language used is plain and simple. Each story unfolds
the way original epic proceeds. Long details have been dispensed
with while retaining the essence that children can easily grasp.
The stories come with realistic caricature based illustrations to
retain interest of young readers. In this vividly told vibrant
version for children, the ancient epic unfolds many unpredictable
twists and turns. The traditional ingredients are all there -
adventure and excitement, love and war and an infinite number of
stories within stories, as are the traditional characters -
monkeys, who cross a sea to lay floating bridge and also carry on
their finger life-giving herbs found only on a mountain, besides
shape-changing demons and monsters of many varieties. The epic has
been rendered traditional and contemporary by the freshness and
vitality of the author J.M.Mehta and exuberant illustrations that
retain the interest of children till the last.

The Ramayana is the tale of Rama, the prince of Ayodhya. The
Ramayana is perhaps one of the best known epics in the world which
transcends all barriers of time, caste, creed and space. The reason
for Ramayana's great popularity is that it is one story entwined in
so many amazing stories woven so beautifully that not even for a
moment you feel out of place. The exciting characters, their
problems, their values and the crafty situations transform you into
another world. You feel like one among them. Their joys make you
laugh and their pains and sorrows make you cry. They take you on a
journey beyond comprehension. Rama, the son of Dahsratha, goes to
the forest for fourteen years to honour his father's words. His
wife Sita and his brother Lakshmana accompany him. Their sojourn
with forest life is full of adventures as they make new friends and
meet weird foes. Their happy life is disturbed when Ravana, the
king of Lanka, abducts Sita. Rama takes help of Sugriva, Honuman
and with the monkey army he manages to rescue her. In the battle
that ensued Ravana is killed.But that is not the end of the story.
The tale further describes Rama Rajya, Sita's banishment and the
birth of Rama's sons Luva and Kusha. So here's this vivid and
vibrant ancient epic of Ramayana which is laced with adventures,
excitement, love and war in the amazing stories intertwined with
the main story line. This delightfully retold epic is sure to steal
your heart.Jai Sri Rama
This companion volume teaches the basics of katakana, the script
for writing loanwords borrowed from English and other languages.
The book introduces the characters not in the traditional a-i-u-e-o
order, but in a radical new one that allows students to sound out
words from the very first page.
As in the Hiragana Workbook, one page each is devoted to the 46
basic characters, which are then used to form actual, everyday
words, enabling the student to build his or her vocabulary from the
very beginning. The Katakana Workbook also features exercises,
flashcards, games and free audio downloads.
The story of Rama books [Pts I-II] together relate in 16 episodes,
Pt II covers an introduction of the imperative mood; other
important noun and pronoun declensions; "having done something"
used with prefixes; the past passive participle; the conjugation of
the middle voice and the verb "to be" in present, future and past
tenses; and the om[letion of the standard method of
transliteration.
The stories of Krishna [pt I-II ] cover full declusions of the most
common type of masculine, feminine and neuter nouns: conjugations
of a simple verb in the present, future and past tenses and twelve
stories based on the childhood of Krishna.
'Latin is "it", the most wonderful "thing". It is mind-enhancing,
character-improving, enthralling, exciting, deeply satisfying, and
valuable. My solid determination is to spare no pains to do it the
justice that its importance demands.' Mr Gwynne, author of the
Sunday Times bestselling phenomenon Gwynne's Grammar, is just as
emphatic about the importance of Latin as he is about the
importance of grammar. From the novice to the more well-versed,
Gwynne's Latin is essential for anyone interested in learning
Latin; Mr Gwynne promises to teach you more Latin in half an hour
than you would learn from years of being taught Latin at school. He
also includes a fascinating section on everyday Latin usage, which
discusses all the Latin words and idioms we still use today, such
as 'quid pro quo' and 'sui generis'. Though we need no further
convincing - as we know, Mr Gwynne is never wrong - here are just
some of the many reasons why Latin is utterly wonderful: - Latin is
an academic subject easy enough for the least intelligent of us to
grasp all the basic elements of, and yet difficult enough to be
demanding for its greatest scholars. - For well over a thousand
years it was the means of communication that united the whole of
Europe culturally and in every other significant way. - It is the
direct ancestor of, between them, the five most widely-spoken
European languages, and both of the official South American
languages. - It is the ancestor and source of more than half of the
English language, partly directly and partly through French, which
for some centuries was England's official language. Following in
the same beautifully designed footsteps of Gwynne's Grammar,
Gwynne's Latin will teach you all the fundamentals of Latin
quickly, thoroughly and better than all the competition.
