The Sensualist & Secrets
The Sensualist is the story of a man enslaved by his libido and spiralling towards self-destruction. Gripping, erotic, even brutal, the book explores the demons that its protagonist must grapple with before he is able to come to terms with himself. In this fascinating account of the pleasures and perils that attend a young man's coming of age, Ruskin Bond displays his felicity in exploring the dark aspects of the human psyche. Bold and powerful, The Sensualist is a compelling read.

This brilliant collection of stories richly evokes the Dehradun of old, but all is not as it seems in this sleepy town: behind the tranquil facade, Dehra is home to a cast of colourful characters. The dashing young army captain in ‘At Green’s Hotel’ might be the perfect gentleman—or a murderer. And in ‘The Skeleton in the Cupboard’, an old scandal is revived, leading to wholly unexpected results. By turns charming and poignant, witty and exhilarating, Secrets is vintage Bond.
