GLIMPSES OF ARCHITECTURE IN KERALA: Temples and Palaces

Ramu Katakam studied architecture at Cambridge, and has been a practicing architect for the past thirty years. He gave up practice some time ago to do research on traditional Indian architecture and has been travelling in Kerala for the past three years.

Kerala has been termed ''God''s own country'' in recent years. Its landscape and waterways are quite magnificent. However, little has been seen of its masterpieces of temple architecture. This book attempts to capture the style and design of these timber building and also illustrate the quality of space around them. Indian temples are to be seen with their surroundings in unity with the sky and the low-lying landscape or with the sky and the hills around. Architecture of the past in India attempts to create an experience with a sense of longing-something to fill the void within. The masters of design in an earlier era were concerned with the balance of a building and how it could please the eye. Glimpses of Architecture in Kerala is a beginning in trying to examine these intentions.

ART

Clive Bell (1881-1964), an English art critic, was best known for promoting his theory of formalism. He was a philosopher who defended abstract art and was a member of the Bloomsbury School.
In this book the noted British art critic, Clive Bell, has tried to develop the complete theory of visual art. He has advanced a hypothesis by reference to which the history of art from palaeolithic days to the present becomes intelligible. Anyone who is curious to discover why we call a Persian carpet or a fresco by Piero della Francesco a work of art, will find an answer here.

Nehrus Hero Dilip Kumar In The Life Of India

Nehru''s Hero is an unusual book on Indian cinema (1944-1964) that re-visits the Nehruvian era as reflected in the films of Dilip Kumar. It presents an analysis of politics through the prism of cinema rather than the other way round, as has often been done. Upon examining the films of Dilip Kumar - some of which Lord Meghnad Desai has seen more than 15 times - he discovers parallels between the socio-political arena in India and its reflection on screen, bringing fresh insight into the Nehruvian period of idealism and hope. He discusses issues as varied as censorship, the iconic ''values'' of Indian machismo, identity and secularism. His logical and clear thesis of how the films portrayed a changing India brings home sharply images of that historic period and the contemporary world. Nehru''s Hero creates a dramatic shift in how we view cinema, and provides a new perspective into films of the eternal screen legend - Dilip Kumar.
