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”.

Devdas By Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay (Hardcover)
‘देवदास, पारो और चन्द्रमुखी- ये तीन किरदार प्रेम ५के ऐसे प्रतीक बन गये हैं कि उनकी गिनती लैला-मजनू, शीरी – फरहाद, हीर-रांझा के साथ होने लगी है। बीसवीं सदी के बंगाल के ज़मींदार समाज की पृष्ठभूमि में स्थित यह एक मार्मिक प्रेमगाथा है। इसमें देवदास को अपने बचपन की साथी पारो से अटूट प्यार है। लेकिन यह प्यार परवान नहीं चढ़ता। हताश, परेशान देवदास जब शराब को अपना सहारा बना लेता है तब उसकी ज़िन्दगी में आती है चन्द्रमुखी। देवदास और चन्द्रमुखी का रिश्ता अनोखा है- जिसमें प्यार की अनुभूति के विभिन्न रंग एक साथ झलकते हैं। उपन्यास के हर पृष्ठ पर लेखक की गहरी संवेदना, बारीकी से अपने आस-पास के समाज को देखने-परखने की नज़र और इन सबको अपनी कलम से कागज़ पर उतारने की बेजोड़ क्षमता ही कारण है कि 1917 में लिखा यह उपन्यास आज भी पाठकों के बीच इतना लोकप्रिय है। बांगला लेखक शरतचन्द्र चट्टोपाध्याय के इस लोकप्रिय उपन्यास का अनेक भाषाओं में अनुवाद हो चुका है और भारत में ही इस पर कई भाषाओं में एक दर्जन से अधिक फिल्में बन चुकी हैं।

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।
