Anuradha By Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay (Hardcover)
लड़की के विवाह योग्य आयु होने के सम्बन्ध में जितना भी झूठ बोला जा सकता है, उतना झूठ बोलने के बाद भी उसकी सीमा का अतिक्रमण किया जा चुका है और अब तो विवाह होने की आशा भी समाप्त चुकी है। ‘मैया री मैया! यह कैसी बात है?” से आरम्भ करके, आंखें मिचकाकर लड़की के लड़के-बच्चों की गिनती पूछने तक में अब किसी को रस नहीं मिलता। समाज में अब यह मजाक भी निरर्थक समझा जाने लगा है। ऐसी ही दशा है बेचारी अनुराधा की। और दिलचस्प बात यह है कि घटना किसी प्राचीन युग की नहीं बल्कि एकदम आधुनिक युग की है। इस आधुनिक युग में भी केवल दान- दहेज, पंचाग, जन्म-कुंड़ली और कुल-शील की जांच-पड़ताल करते-करते एसा हुआ कि अनुराधा की उम्र तेईस को पार कर गई, फिर भी उसके लिए वर नहीं मिला।

Dear Enemy ( An Original Classic ) by Jean Webster (Hardback)
- Page : 188
- ISBN : 9789394885660
- Dimensions : 22.5 x 14.5 x 1.5 cm
Jean Webster (1876-1916) was an American novelist, playwright, and social activist. During the start of the twentieth century (1912), Webster wrote “Daddy-Long-Legs”, an epistolary, best-selling novel that she developed into a play. It met with much success, and the characters were sold as dolls, the money from which going to charities to help fund orphan adoptions. In 1915, Webster published the sequel, “Dear Enemy”. Written in the same epistolary form, “Dear Enemy” met with best-selling acclaim as well. The novel is unique in that the story is propelled by crude, stick-figure animations, drawn by Webster herself, that add a whimsical air to the social issues addressed, the care of orphans and women’s life choices in particular. Sadly, Webster died of childbirth fever in 1916, just a year after the success of “Dear Enemy”.
