Free Download The Namesake Book by Jhumpa Lahiri in PDF

Free Download The Namesake Book by Jhumpa Lahiri in PDF

Crowned by Pulitzer Award in the year 2000 for ‘Interpretation of Maladies’, a collection of short-stories, ‘The Namesake’ is Jhumpa Lahiri’s first attempt in the field of novel.

The Namesake’ undoubtedly becomes a MUST READ for every individual, irrespective of their nationality and culture and creed. ‘The Namesake’ beautifully enacts the lives of the Ganguly family across generations for us. The story is filled with simplicity and confusion of the family estranged from its roots.

The Namesake’ has been made into a movie by the same name by Mira Nair, starring Irrfan Khan, Tabu and Kal Penn. It includes a modern frolic adaptation of the age old top charter “Ye mera deewanapan hai.”

The Ganguli couple move to Cambridge, Massachusetts after their arranged marriage. The book takes us through their difficult transformation from Indian way of living into the everyday American lifestyle - the contrast in thoughts, ideologies, and experiences as a foreigner. The family is torn between the old family traditions and adapting to the new American way of life. The husband adjusts everything much better than his wife does. The wife refuses and resists everything American and constantly longs for her family.

Based on Jhumpa Lahiri's acclaimed novel, THE NAMESAKE is a heartfelt depiction of two generations of a Bengali-American family. At the center of the story is Gogol Ganguli (Kal Penn), the oddly named son of a professor and his traditional Indian wife. He's late to his high-school graduation party because he's passing around a joint with his best pals. And after graduating from Yale, he prefers to hang out with his Manhattan-bred (read: "white") girlfriend and her wealthy parents than visit his parents in Westchester. But an unexpected tragedy forces him to return to his home, both physically and emotionally. In dealing with his intense grief, Gogol rediscovers the meaning of his name, which is tied not only to the Russian author his father admired but a life-changing event in his father's life. Gogol's reexamination leads him to a new life with a fiercely modern -- but still Bengali -- wife and a deeper appreciation for his parents.

Jhumpa Lahiri, through her lucid writing makes Gogol and his family come alive among us, as the family next door or far off relatives. She succeeds in painting a subtle canvas of life in “a string of accidents, events unforeseen and unintended”, making them fluid and accessible to the readers. Her eye for details makes the book picturesque for us to read.

Salman Rushdie Midnight's Children Free E-Book Download

Salman Rushdie Midnight's Children Free E-Book Download
Salman Rushdie Midnight's Children Free E-Book Download

Midnight's Children is a 1981 book by Salman Rushdie that deals with India's transition from British colonialism to independence and the partition of British India. It is considered an example of postcolonial literature and magical realism.

Originally published: 1981
Author: Salman Rushdie
Genres: Magic realism
Adaptations: Midnight's Children (2012)
Publisher: Jonathan Cape
Awards: Man Booker Prize, The Best of the Booker, James Tait Black Memorial Prize - Fiction
 About the Book  
Salman Rushdie Midnight’s Children is the Mona Lisa of imagery. A text that is as rich in variety and depth as India itself, Rushdie has packed this literary marvel with sights, sounds, smells, and colours that are as diverse as the pantheon of Indian gods. Carrying such heady titles as the 1981 Booker Prize Winner and the Booker of Bookers, this novel bears expectations of literary greatness and then exceeds them.



Ancestry and history collide as you follow Saleem Sinai’s life story. Born at midnight on the night of India’s independence, Saleem is graced with a gift, the power to connect with all the other children of midnight. This group, which he dubs the Midnight’s Children, are all bestowed with their own special capabilities in a country where magic and science have existed alongside one another for centuries.

Saleem is obsessed over his synchronous birth with India and he traces how the past, present, and future of his country are all inter-connected with his family line. The theme of family and how it shapes us is reflected in the connection between all of the Sinai family’s events. Rushdie pulls you along as you trace the misfortunes and successes of the Sinais throughout time, and the sheer depth of these links is aweing. The vivid imagery forces readers to decide for themselves. Is Saleem a madman or a philosopher? A victim of fate or its victor?

Saleem’s own gift for the olfactory senses — he was born with a nose the size of a cucumber — is just as much of a character as he is. Whether it’s his ayah’s mango chutney or the bitterness of his aunt’s jealousy, without Rushdie’s inventive scents  

Midnight’s Children would not come alive as it does. A phenomenal read and beautiful story, Midnight’s Children is the chocolate ganache of texts. Rich and decadent, you will want to reread passages again, savour chapters individually, and find that sentences will stick with you for the rest of your day.

Macbeth by William Shakespeare Free E-book Download


Macbeth by William Shakespeare Free E-book Download

“Fair is fowl and fowl is fair.”

How many modern plays do you believe will be bestsellers and entertaining audiences four hundred years after they were written?


It’s quite pointless to review The Tragedy of Macbeth. If you didn’t know you were reading a piece from Elizabethan literature, you could’ve thought that the plot was from a 2012 blockbuster movie. This is exactly where Shakespeare succeeds. Like all great writers, his appeal is timeless. You can very well identify with all his characters; somewhere inside you feel like they do, you yield to temptations, you make pacts with the Devil, and the master playwright knows it.


You love and hate the characters simultaneously. You curse Macbeth and his Queen to hell for their sins, yet you weep blood for their sufferings. Macduff wins at last, kills Macbeth for good, yet he never achieves the stature of his foe. In spite of knowing his destiny, being made aware of the diabolical deception of the three witches, the “usurper” fights the man “being of no woman born” with unflinching courage. Macbeth remains a grand character when he dies, as he has lived, by the sword:

“Yet I will try the last. Before my body
I throw my warlike shield. Lay on, Macduff,
And damn’d be him that first cries, ‘Hold, enough'
