Cowardly Valiance by Muntasir Hasnat



The title of the book is Cowardly Valiance which speaks in paradox. The story shows that even someone who is considered to be the epitome of strength feels harrowing pain and crippling fear. Though the story is written in third person narrative, yet it foregrounds the feelings of the protagonist.

The story is about a boxer who is the champion in non-professional boxing bouts organized by a company called Realm Boxing. Matches organised by Realm Boxing were for entertainment and not related to amateur or professional boxing. The champion with the ring name Harkwood is legendary in the small world of Realm Boxing. He is considered to be an invincible fighter with no weakness but he is actually a loner who struggles to make ends meet. His boxing life, for which he is praised, takes everything out of him both physically and emotionally. The feared champion leads a miserable life and he has only himself to blame. The audience of Realm Boxing admired him but little did they know that he was getting ripped from the inside every second. He had won against many opponents and has provided entertainment for many but now all he wanted was that one thing which remained absent throughout life — hope.

The story is mainly about the boxing matches and the emotional struggle of the main character. It is about his dreams, hopes, fear, distress and all the sufferings that come with it. The genre is boxing and drama. The book has 20 chapters with a prologue and an epilogue.

BlueRose Publishers Presents ‘मत करो कलंकित मानवता’ by Ramesh Chhabra

विकास के लिए शांति जरुरी ! यह महसूस किया जा रहा है कि देश में धार्मिक कट्टरता और हिंसा बढ़ रही है जिससे पारस्परिक सौहार्द प्रभावित होता है। एक ओर प्रधानमंत्री विदेशों में भारत का सम्मान बढ़ाने का प्रयास करते दिखते हैं, दूसरी ओर उन्हीं के दल के कुछ लोग विवादास्पद बयान जारी कर घृणा बढ़ाने का काम कर देते हैं। हिंसा होती है जिसमें गौ रक्षकों द्वारा की गयी मोब लिंचिंग की घटनाएं होती हैं और भारत की ख्याति को धक्का लगता है। देश ने दंगों का दंश झेला है। हम इसे और सहन नहीं कर सकते। दुःख इस बात का है कि हमारे राजनेता सत्ता के लालच में इस तनाव को हवा देते हैं जबकि देश की तरक्की व विकास, देश में शांति बरकरार रहने से ही संभव है। जहाँ आपसी तनाव और नफरत होगी वहां आप शांति की कल्पना नहीं कर सकते और जहाँ शांति नहीं, वहां विकास नहीं हो सकता। चूँकि देश को विकास चाहिए, युवकों को रोजगार चाहिए और ऐसा समाज चाहिए जहाँ बच्चों को अच्छी शिक्षा मिले, महिलाएं भी आज़ादी से सुरक्षित रह सकें। इन सबके लिए शांति और सद्भाव जरुरी और पहली शर्त है, जिसे हम भूल रहे हैं। Shop:  Amazon ,  Flipkart ,  Shop...

BlueRose Publishers presents The Wheel of Creation by Rakhi Roy Halder

Science Never Clashes with Spirituality The Wheel of Creation is the English translation of the collected volume of Hindi poems “Srishti Chakra” written by Rakhi Roy Halder. Her students of Loreto college, Kolkata translated many poems of this book, under the guidance of the editor of the book Subhasree Basu, faculty of Loreto College. Man is an integral part of creation. His life is governed by the law of the universe. The human intellect categorizes things for the convenience of understanding. This categorization leads to a disintegrated view of creation. Science versus spirituality is one such example of disintegrated vision. As described by Swapna Behera—Educationist, Editor, and Bilingual Author, The Wheel of Creation is a rare combination of Science and Poetry. This collection of poems aims at expressing the roller coaster ride that is life and uniting the spiritual and scientific consciousness to reveal the magical power of energy flowing through the entire universe, which pla...

BlueRose Publishers Presents 'The Storm in the Silence' by Nikhlesh Mathur

The Storm in the Silence “Your medicine, which disappeared at City-cure, is in Dinshaw,” Aarti read the message repeatedly. She was overjoyed. She understood what he referred to.  “I am coming there immediately,” she called him on a cell phone. “No,” he replied, “If the police recognize you here then God forbid they might put him in some other hospital.” “Then what should she do?” She glanced at ward forty-two. The door was still closed. Aarti endures the storm in silence, she sustains the attacks on her with courage, she maneuvers her moves cleverly. She defies the odds. She also fires back without worrying about any blizzard which surrounds her. Her cries don’t pin her down; her tears don’t make her prosaic. She takes the charge in her own hands when she finds the world of men, including her loved ones, drawing battle lines for her.  But she refuses to throw down the gauntlet.  Like a warrior woman, she outclasses her adversaries with characteristic astuteness u...
