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।

The Rainbow Trail by Zane Grey (HARDCOVER)
The novel takes place ten years after events of Riders of the Purple Sage. The wall to Surprise Valley has broken, and Jane Withersteen is forced to choose between Lassiter’s life and Fay Larkin’s marriage to a Mormon. Both novels are notable for their protagonists’ mild opposition to Mormon polygamy, but in The Rainbow Trail this theme is treated more explicitly. The plots of both books revolve around the victimization of women in the Mormon culture: events in Riders of the Purple Sage are centered on the struggle of a Mormon woman who sacrifices her wealth and social status to avoid becoming a junior wife of the head of a local church, while The Rainbow Trail contrasts the older Mormons with the rising generation of Mormon women who will not tolerate polygamy and Mormon men who do not seek it

The Talisman by Walter Scott (Hardback)
- Page : 376
- ISBN : 978-9394885882
- Dimensions : 22.5 x 14.5 x 2.3 cm
The main characters are the Scottish knight Kenneth, a fictional version of David of Scotland, Earl of Huntingdon, who returned from the third Crusade in 1190; Richard the Lionheart; Saladin; and Edith Plantagenet, a relative of Richard. In Scott’s own words: “. . . the warlike character of Richard I, wild and generous, a pattern of chivalry, with all its extravagant virtues and its no less absurd errors, was opposed to that of Saladin, in which the Christian and English monarch showed all the cruelty and violence of an Eastern sultan, and Saladin, on the other hand, displayed the deep policy and prudence of a European sovereign, whilst each contended which should excel the other in the knightly qualities of bravery and generosity. This singular contrast afforded, as the author conceived, materials for a work of fiction possessing peculiar interest.”
