Book Description
The Open-Winged Scorpion and Other Stories is a collection of ten powerful Bengali short stories, all translated into English for the first time. Hailing from Murshidabad district in West Bengal, Abul Bashar pens stories about precarious lives of marginal Muslim communities in that district. His tales are shot through with the fears, dreams, hopes, and anxieties of the communities he portrays: their poverty and piety, the sensuality of the ancient mythologies they reimagine and remember, the rituals that permeate their lives, and the ever-present influence of the River Padma, which brings the silt that makes the land flourish--and the floods that destroy the crops and the people who plant them. The complex dynamics of the trivial and the transcendental emerge in Bashar's stories, as the tales become no less than an archive and richly imagined historical testimony of an abject community relegated to the margins of the society too focused on the future to remember people who are struggling in the here and now.

Book Description
After studying for two years, the voice in his mind gradually faded, but he was used to the sound and words. Every night, he still read it, stayed up all night, and was refreshed the next day. If he didn't read it, he would feel uncomfortable the next day, just like being addicted. Even in his spare time during the day, he would unconsciously read it.

The old Taoist priest, who was exposed by people and was struck by lightning, smiled wryly, and his wrinkled old face showed a trace of sincerity: "Anan, I am doing this for your own good.

Book Description
What the person needs to know: should he-or-she-or-angel not be included in the resurrection to be a king or priest with Jesus Christ... What did Jesus Christ have to say about the Kingdom of God besides telling His Disciples to go out and talk about it...??? Matt.5:17. Don’t think I have come to abolish the Law. ‘Til Heaven and earth pass away – not one iota, not one period will pass away from the Law ... until all is accomplished. {All the bad guys are dead...!} Matt.5:19. Whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches mankind so, shall not be called into the Kingdom. {Judges, teachers & priests} Where does this leave Sunday & image worshippers???
