For over five decades, Stephen P. Huyler has journeyed across India, exploring stories that define its people. Transformed by India is not just a memoir but his remarkable testament to a lifelong relationship with two different worlds.

Richly personal and deeply illuminating, Nissim Ezekiel: Poet & Father offers an intimate portrait of the man behind the poetry, his wit, wisdom, relationships, and enduring literary legacy.

As poet Daljit Nagra MBE FRSL aptly describes it 'An inexhaustible and illuminating book about an essential Indian poet of international significance. Wonderfully enjoyable!'

What does it mean to be transformed by a country, its people, and its culture?

In Transformed by India: A Life, Stephen P. Huyler shares a deeply personal journey shaped by decades of engagement with India, its traditions, and its remarkable people.

As acclaimed author and photographer Paola Gianturco writes “Stephen Huyler’s work and insights are an inspiring and important introduction to India and Indians, and especially to women’s identity and creativity in India.”

A moving tribute to the enduring power of cultural connection, curiosity, and human resilience.

Some novels tell a story. Others capture the spirit of an era. Swallowing the Sun by Lakshmi Murdeshwar Puri is a sweeping tale of love, ambition, sacrifice and self-discovery set against the tumultuous years of India's struggle for freedom.
Through unforgettable women who challenge convention and shape their own destinies, the novel explores questions that remain as relevant today as ever: Who gets to choose their future? What does freedom truly mean?

A great post by Are Books Becoming Just Another Form of Content?

In the age of reels, summaries, AI explainers and aesthetic bookshelf posts, books are increasingly being treated as content to consume, optimise and share. From 15-minute book summaries to reading goals designed for social media, the focus is often shifting from the experience of reading to the utility and performance around it. But as attention spans shrink, an important question remains: are we still inhabiting books or simply processing them like everything else in our feeds? |
