Mulk Raj Anand (1905-2004) had one lament he often voiced to his friends and literary critics-that his short stories were not paid enough attention. This book brings together some of the best and most memorable stories from Anand's published collections, each of them illustrating a different mood and tone. In his half-humorous and half-ironic way, Anand draws our attention to the plight of the marginalized, the poor and the illiterate; stories have the power to charm and penetrate their innermost feelings and emotions. Straightforward, unpretentious and expertly crafted, these unforgettable vignettes of life in twentieth-century India are sure to haunt the reader long after the book has been put down. "Mr. Anand has a marvelous power of evoking an immense varied life as it bubbles in front of his eyes, without once losing contact with his character..." --V S Pritchett, British Literary Critic "Mr. Anand's writing has an attractive sensous quality. He somehow charges his pages with heat, colour, scents (or smells). He has most of all, the touch, the power that makes the writer great-he can give human weakness a dignity of its own." --Elizabeth Bowen in Tatler.

THERE'S ONLY ONE ASSASSIN YOU CAN TRUST. Half German, half Russian, Nicholai Hel was raised by a Japanese general and survived Hiroshima to become a mystic, a master of the senses, and the most deadly assassin in the world. Nicholai has left his past behind him to live a life of isolation in a remote mountain fortress, determined to attain a state of effortless perfection known as shibumi. Then Hannah Stern arrives at his door. Hannah needs protection from a sinister organization known as the Mother Company. But, as Hel knows all too well, they are not easy to escape. And now they're coming after him too. The battle lines are drawn: ruthless power and corruption on one side, and on the other...shibumi. 'One hell of a pleasure to read.' Washington Post 'Riveting... storytelling by a genuinely original author.' The Chicago Tribune

From one of the 20th century’s most beloved storytellers, a moving evocation of the wonder found on the cusp of adolescence and a powerful depiction of small town American life “[Dandelion Wine] is Bradbury’s masterpiece, his fullest, most deeply felt and lyrical expression, touching on his usual themes of youth, old age and small-town life but stripped of their usual layer of sci-fi remove.” — Electric Literature “[Ray] Bradbury is an authentic original.”—Time The summer of 1928 was a vintage season for a growing boy. A summer of green apple trees, mowed lawns, and new sneakers. Of half-burnt firecrackers, of gathering dandelions, of Grandma's belly-busting dinner. It was a summer of sorrows and marvels and gold-fuzzed bees. A magical, timeless summer in the life of a twelve-year-old boy named Douglas Spaulding—remembered forever in moving, interconnected vignettes, by the incomparable Ray Bradbury.

Die indische Investmentfondsbranche entstand mit der Gründung von Unit Trust of India im Jahr 1964. Unit Trust of India war nicht effizient genug, um den Markt für Investmentfonds zu erweitern. In den späten 1980er Jahren entstanden von staatlichen Banken gesponserte Investmentfonds, die der Investmentfondsbranche halfen, ihren Markt zu erweitern.

Sie brachten verschiedene Produkte auf den Markt, die den Bedürfnissen der unterschiedlichen Anlegergruppen entsprachen. In dieser Studie werden fünf große Anbieter von Investmentfonds in Indien ausgewählt, nämlich Reliance mutual fund, HDFC mutual fund, ICICI mutual fund, Birla sun life mutual fund und UTI mutual fund. Die Auswahl der fünf führenden Unternehmen erfolgt auf der Grundlage des verwalteten Vermögens.
