Dubliners: A Beautiful Collection Of vignettes by james joyce (Hardcover)
0 out of 5(0)First Published in 1914, Dubliners is a beautiful collection of vignettes describing Irish middle class life in and around Dublin at the end of the 19th century. Joyce’s intention in writing Dubliners, in his own words, was to write a chapter of the moral history of his own country and he chose Dublin for the scene because the city appeared to him the centre of paralysis and decay. He tried to present it to the apathetic public under four of it’s aspects: childhood, adolescence, maturity and public life. ‘The Sisters, “ An Encounter’ and ‘Araby’ are stories from childhood. “Eveline,’ ‘After the Race,’ ‘Two Gallants’ and ‘The Boarding House’ are stories from adolescence. ‘A Little Cloud. ‘’ Counterparts, ‘’Clay and ‘A Painful Case’ are all Stories concerned with mature life. Stories from public life are ‘Ivy Day in the Committee Room. ‘ ‘ A Mother’ and ‘Grace. ‘’ The Dead’ is the last story in the collection and most certainly Joyce’s greatest. It stands alone and as the Title would suggest, is concerned with death.

Vaishali Ki Nagarvadhu by Archarya Chatursen (Hardback)
0 out of 5(0)यह उपन्यास एक बौद्धकालीन ऐतिहासिक कृति है । लेखक के अनुसार इसकी रचना के क्रम में उन्हें आर्य, बौद्ध, जैन और हिंदुओं के साहित्य का सांस्कृतिक अध्ययन करना पड़ा जिसमें उन्हें 10 वर्षों का समय लगा। यह उपन्यास कोई एक-दो महीनों में पूर्ण नहीं हुआ बल्कि आचार्य शास्त्री ने इत्मीनान से इसके लेखन में 1939-1947 तक कि नौ वर्षों की अवधि लगाई। इस उपन्यास के केंद्र में ‘वैशाली की नगरवधू’ के रूप में इतिहास-प्रसिद्ध वैशाली की, सौंदर्य की साक्षात प्रतिमा तथा स्वाभिमान और आत्मबल से संबलित ‘अम्बपाली’ है जिसने अपने जीवनकाल में सम्पूर्ण भारत के राजनीतिक और सामाजिक परिवेश को प्रभावित किया था। उपन्यास में अम्बपाली की कहानी तो है किंतु उससे अधिक बौद्धकालीन सामाजिक, राजनीतिक, धार्मिक स्थितियों का चित्रण उपलब्ध है और यही उपन्यासकार का लक्ष्य भी है। विभिन्न संस्कृतियों यथा जैन और बौद्ध और ब्राह्मण के टकराव के साथ-साथ तत्कालीन विभिन्न गणराज्यों यथा काशी, कोशल तथा मगध एवं वैशाली के राजनीतिक संघर्षों का विवरण भी इस कृति में उपलब्ध है। उपन्यास की नायिका फिर भी अम्बपाली ही है जो आदि से अंत तक उपन्यास में छाई हुई है।
