To what extent can you go to save your planet from global warming, save something for generations to come? The planet is burning and an Indian has decided to take actions about it. However, where does he start? He decides to start with the facilitators, who are milking away money by killing our planet. So, the police force are up against a serial killer who is killing all the high-profile entrepreneurs whose industries are polluting India, and on the bigger picture, the world. The police nicknames him as the Green man, based on his love for a greener planet. Parallelly, this story is also about Akash Bose, an I it I an who left his highly paid Office job to pursue his dreams of being a private detective but his portfolio is still limited to nuptial loyalty investigations. He falls for a beautiful married woman, damini, who is actually using Akash to get divorce from her hugely popular media reporter husband. As if love life problems were not enough, Akash accidentally becomes the media face of the serial killer police investigation, which is led by police Inspector, Rajiv Bakshi. Akash gets deeply involved in the cat and mouse game between the serial killer and law. In his first homicide investigation case, he is up against the righteous serial killer who can go to all limits for a greener planet. To give the rookie detective a fair chance and obviously for the fun of it, Green man starts sending him clues about the next murder. If Akash and Rajiv can decode the letters in time, they might be able to save a life but if they are late, the future of the Earth becomes a bit greener. The story maintains its pace through the twisted motivations of every individual involved with the case and holds a handful of nasty surprises.
Kill It to Save It
For decades now, American voters have been convinced to support public policies that only benefit those in power. But how do the powerful extract consent from citizens whose own self-interest and collective well-being are constantly denied? And why do so many Americans seem to have given up on quality public education, on safe food and safe streets, on living wages--even on democracy itself? Kill It to Save It lays bare the hypocrisy of contemporary US political discourse, documenting the historical and theoretical trajectory of capitalism's triumph over democracy. Tackling the interconnected issues of globalization, neoliberalism, and declining public institutions, Corey Dolgon argues that American citizens now accept reform policies that destroy the public sector (seemingly in the public interest) and a political culture that embraces what Stephen Colbert calls "truthiness"--a willingness to agree to arguments that feel right "in the gut" regardless of fancy science or messy facts. In a narrative that stretches from the post-Vietnam War era to the present parade of political reality TV and debates over Black Lives Matter, Dolgon dismantles US common-sense cultural discourse. His original, alternative account reveals that this ongoing crisis in US policy will not cease until a critical mass of American citizens recognize what has been lost, and in whose interest.
KATE DOUGLAS WIGGIN – Ultimate Collection: 21 Novels & 130+ Short Stories
In the expansive "Ultimate Collection" of Kate Douglas Wiggin, readers are invited into a rich tapestry of human experience woven through 21 novels and over 130 short stories. Wiggin's literary style is characterized by its warm, inviting prose and keen observation of character and setting, often drawing from her own experiences in 19th-century American society. Her work, deeply embedded in the themes of childhood innocence, community, and social reform, reflects the broader literary context of her time, particularly the transition toward realism and a focus on emotional depth. From beloved tales like "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" to lesser-known gems, this collection celebrates the resilience and creativity of the human spirit, while also critiquing the social norms of her era. Kate Douglas Wiggin (1856-1923) was a notable American author and educator whose passion for children's literature stemmed from her commitment to social reform and education. Growing up in a large, spirited family and later establishing a school for underprivileged children, Wiggin's life experiences imbued her storytelling with heartfelt authenticity. Her dedication to shaping young minds and advocating for women's rights positioned her as a prominent voice in the literary landscape of her time. This ultimate collection is not only a treasure trove for fans of Wiggin's work but also serves as an invaluable resource for those seeking to explore the evolution of early American literature. I wholeheartedly recommend this anthology to readers who appreciate rich narratives and vivid characterizations, as well as those wishing to understand the cultural and social underpinnings that informed Wiggin's timeless stories.
