...every link hiding yet more stories." Garuda's musings may be extended to the book itself, which is a collection of all the stories of Hindu mythology--some bizarre, some beautiful, many grotesque and all thoroughly engrossing--recast with an eye for the postmodern reader and his impatient but eager sensibilities. Taking a cue from the Mahabharata--a seminal Indian text containing many of the major stories of Hindu mythology--Roberto Calasso (here translated from the Italian by noted scholar Tim Parks) has combined the stories from all aspects and ages of Hindu culture to recreate for the reader...

The songs on the four-CD set span his career; a great many of them are strong songs, perhaps even hit songs, but they are songs that were left off Springsteen's albums nonetheless, for space reasons, thematic reasons and sometimes no good reason...
...with which the Protestant-Catholic conflict over the throne is stated. In short, this darkly sumptuous, hypnotically complex movie ought to have many constituencies, even in the age of Ally McBeal. The largest of them may turn out to be moviegoers hungry for rich, old-fashioned historical spectacle and eager to revel in the subtle grace with which Cate Blanchett takes the title character from wariness to regality...
