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।

Although it is truly a savanna, the novel refers to the uncharted interior of Africa around the present-day Central African Republic as a desert. Starting in Zanzibar, the journey continues through Agadez, Timbuktu, Djenné, Lake Victoria, Lake Chad, and Ségou.Finding the source of the Nile was a major goal of the early expedition. Bringing together the other explorers is the second leg. There are several action-packed sequences that either feature a battle with a local or one with the environment

GOdan By Munshi Premchand (Hardcover)
गोदान उपन्यास प्रेमचंद का अंतिम और सबसे महत्त्वपूर्ण उपन्यास माना जाता है। प्रेमचंद ने गोदान को 1932 में लिखना शुरू किया था और 1936 में प्रकाशित करवाया था। 1936 में प्रकाशित गोदान उपन्यास को हिन्दी ग्रन्थ रत्नाकर कार्यालय बम्बई द्वारा किया गया था । संसार की शायद ही कोई भाषा होगी, जिसमे गोदान का अनुवाद न हुआ हो । प्रेमचंद का गोदान,किसान जीवन के संघर्ष एवं वेदना को अभिव्यक्त करने वाली सबसे महत्त्वपूर्ण रचना है। यह प्रेमचंद की आकस्मिक रचना नहीं है, उनके जीवन भर के लेखन प्रयासों का निष्कर्ष है। यह रचना और भी तब महत्त्वपूर्ण बन जाती है, जब प्रेमचंद भारत के ऐसे कालखंड का वर्णन करते है, जिसमे सामंती समाज के अंग किसान और ज़मींदार दोनों ही मिट रहे है और पूंजीवादी समाज के मज़दूर तथा उद्योगपति उनकी जगह ले रहे है। गोदान, ग्रामीण जीवन और कृषक संस्कृति का महाकाव्य कहा जा सकता है। ग्रामीण जीवन का इतना वास्तविक, व्यापक और प्रभावशाली चित्रण, हिन्दी साहित्य के किसी अन्य उपन्यास में नहीं हुआ है।
