KATHMANDU, NOVEMBER 26

Nepalaya, a book publication house, released Sarala Gautam's 'Pinjadako Manchhe', an anthology of essay, as e-book in Kathmandu on Friday.

In a statement today, Nepalaya said, 'It's the second book published as the primary e-book this year after Sujeev Shakya's 'Arthat Pariwartan'.

The collected essays cast a ponderous gaze upon the issues of alienation, technology, patriarchy and ecology.

Reminiscing upon the thought process that led to this book, author Gautam said, 'The pandemic has divided the world into two distinct eras--before and post Covid. The lockdown supplied equal amount of despair and leisure, propelling me to mediate over those issues even more deeply.'

The book tries to portray the ironic story of a modern man, who in search of greater freedom, has found himself chained in numerous invisible chains.

According to Nepalaya, digital copy of the book 'Pinjadako Manchhe' is priced at Rs 100 for the Nepali market and will be available at thuprai.com.
