Dubliners: A Beautiful Collection Of vignettes by james joyce (Hardcover)
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.

Wells was a visionary, a man of science with an enduring literary touch, and his originality and inventiveness are fully on display in this essential collection. “Wells imagined both dark and bright futures because his creed allowed both while promising neither, and because the eighty years of his life were years of immense intellectual and technological accomplishment and appalling violence and destruction.n

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।
