ONE: The Story of the Ultimate Myth
by Mansoor Khan
Harper Collins India 2023, Pp. 145
Available at Amazon Rs. 449/-

It is a gem of a book! It is a small book, 145 pages. It is a fiction, a novella. Very satisfactory reading! Reminds me of the feeling I got after reading some of the great novellas - Lu Hsun’s ‘The True Story of Ah Q’ or Rajinder Singh Bedi’s ‘Ek Chadar Maili Si’. It has the touch of a film editor – not a single wasted (…) -

Video: The Battle of Chile, The Insurrection of the Bourgeoisie | Patricio Guzman
21 October 2023In the spring of 1973, just before the parliamentary elections in Chile, Patricio Guzmán and his crew began to film the political and social events in the country. Given the poor state of the economy, President Salvador Allende’s left-wing government, which had been democratically elected in 1970, was expected to fall.
