Vimukti

Vimukti

Translated title: Liberation

Author: Timalsina, Jhamka

Genre: Family Saga / Social Novel

Year: 2025 | Pages: 208 | Origin: NEP | ISBN: 9789937935142

Stories of life experience are also of the elite, and of the common people. Many may think that people who appear elite on the cover do not have sad stories, no compassion and pain worth writing. But the main character of this novel, who is an elite in himself, says, 'The character must be created, the story will be created by itself.'

'Vimukti' is the story of such an elite old man. Like the setting sun, he lives the cold present alone on the veranda of his vast bungalow. Before his death, the same character writes in his diary, 'I have seen people turning into ashes in the presence of a special funeral pyre. I have also seen grand funerals held with national honors. I have met people who turned into ashes alone, without anyone else. Sometimes I have made some people cry without seeing anyone to make them cry. At the end of their lives, someone to make them cry is needed.'

The present described in the novel is not only that of a certain character, but also of the entire contemporary society. Those who have seen it have seen it, some have even written about it. How much more difficult it is to experience that life than to see and write about it! 'Vimukti' is a tragic tale of that experience

Author: Gaire, Shankar Prasad

Genre: Religious / Social Novel

Year: 2025 | Pages: 253 | Origin: NEP | ISBN: 9789937982498

Sutaputra is a mythological-social novel based on the mythological rewriting of the Mahabharata. This novel, which makes the great warrior Karna of the Mahabharata the hero, has objectively and poignantly depicted how difficult it is to live in a discriminatory society, and how painful it is for a conscious person. This novel, which makes caste discrimination the main theme, has presented the image of our village and city by depicting the external pomp of a person and his real life's decaying character. The author's captivating storytelling skill of excavating the caste subaltern through mythological stories is the greatest strength of the novel

A young Bhumiraj dreams of making the entire Karnali prosperous, and with the determination to achieve that dream, he agrees to walk on the slippery slopes of challenges. This novel is a mirror that shows the reality of Karnali, which has been marginalized from the mainstream of development. It is also a poetic answer to the question of why the sorrows and sorrows accumulated in the hearts of the Karnali people have not been able to be washed away by the light of Karnali for so many years. Tuin is not only a story of love and dreams suppressed by the ten-year armed conflict, but also a dark picture of a terrible period experienced by Nepal and the Nepalese
