Описание: I saw something-something horrible-a boy weeping in the forest-and he had no face!' 'No face, Sir?' 'No eyes, nose, mouth-nothing.' 'Do you mean it was like this, Sir?' asked the watchman, and raised the lamp to his own face. The watchman had no eyes, no ears, no features at all-not even an eyebrow! True horror surfaces from darkness only when the night falls! This goose-bumpy collection introduces you to some of the most terrifying ghost stories ever told-old manor house hauntings; a couple on a remote island, condemned to a doom of unimaginable horror; a dying woman's promise that she will be back to take her sisters when their time is up; a solitary walk through the woods in the evening and the terror it unfolds... Each story is sure to send a chill down your spine. So, dive under the covers and get ready to be spooked by the wild elements of the night!

Описание: `Her eyes seemed flecked with gold when the sun was on them. And as the sun set over the mountains drawing a deep red wound across the sky, there was more than gold in Kiran`s eyes. There was anger...` Who does not enjoy short stories that are pithy, compelling and gripping? In this collection, Ruskin Bond selects some of the best short stories for his readers. There is O. Henry`s classic story about hunting in the great outdoors: Guy de Maupassant`s Gothic horror classic about a severed hand with a mind of its own: Edgar Allan Poe`s tale about a heart that doesn`t seem to stop beating, and stories by HG Wells, Arthur Conan Doyle, Charles Dickens.

Описание: The Room on the Roof is a timeless coming-of-age novel that will resonate with a whole new generation of readers. Written by renowned author Ruskin Bond when he was just seventeen, it is the story of Rusty, a teenage Anglo-Indian boy who is orphaned and has to live with his English guardian in the stifling European quarter of Dehra Dun. Unhappy with the strict ways of his guardian, Rusty runs away from home to live with his Indian friends into the dream-bright world of the bazaar, Hindu festivals and all manner of Indian life.

Rusty is enthralled, and is lost forever to the prim proprieties of the claustrophic European community.

Описание: Intimate, exhilarating writings on adventure, meditation, and life in the captivating wildness of the Himalayan Mountains--with contributions from Amitav Ghosh, Mark Twain, Rabindranath Tagore, Peter Matthiessen, and more.

For some, the Himalaya is a frontier against which people test themselves. Others find refuge and tranquility in the mountains, a place where they can seek their true selves, perhaps even God. Over millennia, the mountains have cradled civilization itself and nurtured teeming, irrepressible life. With over thirty essays, this exhilarating anthology offers a dazzling range of voices that reveal accounts of great ascents and descents--from reflecting on a deadly avalanche to searching for a snow leopard and enjoying the simple pleasure of riding a handcar down a railway track. These diverse writings bring to life the spirit of the Himalaya in an unparalleled panorama.

Описание:

In 1878, Robert Louis Stevenson, author of classics such as Kidnapped and Treasure Island, embarked on a walking tour of the C vennes, a mountainous region in south-central France. His travelling companion was Modestine, a diminutive donkey with a mind of her own who, over the course of the journey, bore some of his provisions and much of his rancour. Modestine and Stevenson tramped without plan or purpose through scenic villages and fearsome forests--reportedly infested with man-eating wolves--depending on peasants, Trappist monks and passersby for supplies, shelter and directions. They were beset by storms and unhelpful residents, but were also granted views of splendid vistas and cold, clear nights. And, over twelve days, 200 kilometres, and many shared adventures, Stevenson came to love his obdurate, manipulative little companion.

Travels with a Donkey in the C vennes has inspired generations of later travellers and writers, from John Steinbeck--and his Travels with Charley--to Bruce Chatwin and Graham Greene, including present-day hikers who retrace the Robert Louis Stevenson Trail. Written in timeless prose, and with biting wit, this slim volume is a treat for all readers.
