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”.

Do Behnein By Rabindranath Tagore (Hardcover)
स्त्रियाँ दो जाति की होती हैं, ऐसा मैंने किसी-किसी पंडित से सुना है। एक जाति प्रधानतया माँ होती है, दूसरी प्रिया । ऋतुओं के साथ यदि तुलना की जाय तो माँ होगी वर्षाऋतु यह जल देती है, फल देती है, ताप शमन करती है, ऊर्ध्वलोक से अपने आपको विगलित कर देती है, शुष्कता को दूर करती है, अभावों को भर देती है। और प्रिया है वसन्तऋतु। गभीर है उसका रहस्य, मधुर है उसका मायामंत्र। चञ्चलता उसकी रक्त में तरङ्ग लहरा देती है और चित्त के उस मणिकोष्ठ में पहुँचती है जहाँ सोने की वीणा में एक निभृत तार चुपचाप, झंकार की प्रतीक्षा में, पड़ा हुआ है; झंकार- जिससे समस्त देह और मन में अनिर्वचनीय की वाणी झंकृत हो उठती है।
