This beautifully designed set brings together two literary anthologies that have no equal in Indian publishing: A Book of New Beginnings: Some Words for Living and A Time for Change: Songs of Hope and Resilience. Curated by one of India’s finest and most well-read writers, these are books of compassionate wisdom that draw from a vast range of prose and verse produced in India and the rest of the world over several centuries.
A Box of Hope is a shining treasury of inspirations and shared experience by over a hundred thinkers, storytellers and poets—from Tagore, Ghalib, Lal Ded, Muktabai, the Buddha, Vivekananda and Faiz Ahmed Faiz to Rumi, Teresa of Avila, Basho, T.S. Eliot, Emily Dickinson, Nelson Mandela and Dylan Thomas.
