Book Description
Paper Boats is a translation Prafulla Roy's epic novel of the Partition, 'Keyapatar Nouko'. It is about the last years of a place called East Bengal, a place some can still remember with nostalgia but which has gone forever. In its last decade, it suffered turbulent and radical change, becoming East Pakistan when India was partitioned. The focus throughout is on a boy, Binay, very closely related to the author himself. His childhood is idyllic, but after a few years change is blown about on the breeze, the sky clouds over with the poison of communal bigotry, and Binay flees to Calcutta to escape almost unimaginable violence and cruelty. Roy's canvas is vast, and he describes the tragedy of the Partition of Bengal from a multitude of personal angles. What starts out as an idyll becomes a drama, and the drama turns into a horror story. ABOUT PRAFULLA ROY Prafulla Roy is one of contemporary Bengal's most prominent - and prolific - writers. His novels and short stories are a treasure house of memories of the Partition and the sad reality of communal violence even after Independence. He has also written profusely on the rural underclass of northeastern India and has produced a significant body of work on the urban middle class, especially of Kolkata.

Book Description
She's a free-spirited dreamer. He's a brilliant painter. But now their shared passion for art has turned into something deeper... For as long as she can remember, Kugy has loved to write. Whimsical stories are her passion, along with letters full of secret longings that she folds into paper boats and sets out to sea. Now that she's older, she dreams of following her heart and becoming a true teller of tales, but she decides to get a "real job" instead and forget all about Keenan, the guy who makes her feel as if she's living in one of her own fairy tales. Sensitive and introverted, Keenan is an aspiring artist, but he feels pressured to pursue a more practical path. He's drawn to Kugy from first sight: she's unconventional, and the light radiating from her eyes and the warmth of her presence pull him in. They seem like a perfect match--both on and off the page--but revealing their secret feelings means risking their friendship and betraying the people they love most. Can they find the courage to admit their love for each other and chase their long-held dreams?

The Cardboard Boat Book
Author:
Publisher: Dave Friant
ISBN: 1439224951
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
A step-by-step instruction manual on how to build a lightweight 'environmentally-friendly' boat with recyclable resources. The boats simply fold up from ¼” thick cardboard obtaining their strength from the geometry of the component parts. The boats are 8-feet long, weigh about 25-pounds, and can accommodate a 250-pound person without risking structural damage. Each boat is constructed with 21-pieces of cardboard that are used to make 7-component parts. The 7 parts are assembled together with 'environmentally-friendly' contact cement and paper drywall tape. Once assembled the boats are sealed with an 'environmentally-friendly' water-based waterproof coating. No special tools are required and they are very simple to build. All of the materials used to build a boat are typically found at 'do-it-yourself' home improvement stores. The boats can be outfitted with 12-volt electric fishing motors, although they are typically propelled with traditional Kayak style paddles.
