प्रेमचंद का जन्म 31 जुलाई 1880 को वाराणसी जिले (उत्तर प्रदेश) के लमही गाँव में एक कायस्थ परिवार में हुआ था। उनकी माता का नाम आनन्दी देवी तथा पिता का नाम मुंशी अजायबराय था जो लमही में डाकमुंशी थे। उनका वास्तविक नाम धनपत राय श्रीवास्तव था। प्रेमचंद (प्रेमचन्द) की आरम्भिक शिक्षा फ़ारसी में हुई। प्रेमचंद के माता-पिता के सम्बन्ध में रामविलास शर्मा लिखते हैं कि- “जब वे सात साल के थे, तभी उनकी माता का स्वर्गवास हो गया। जब पन्द्रह वर्ष के हुए तब उनका विवाह कर दिया गया और सोलह वर्ष के होने पर उनके पिता का भी देहान्त हो गया।” 1921 ई. में असहयोग आन्दोलन के दौरान महात्मा गाँधी के सरकारी नौकरी छोड़ने के आह्वान पर स्कूल इंस्पेक्टर पद से 23 जून को त्यागपत्र दे दिया। इसके बाद उन्होंने लेखन को अपना व्यवसाय बना लिया। मर्यादा, माधुरी आदि पत्रिकाओं में वे संपादक पद पर कार्यरत रहे। इसी दौरान उन्होंने प्रवासीलाल के साथ मिलकर सरस्वती प्रेस भी खरीदा तथा हंस और जागरण निकाला। प्रेस उनके लिए व्यावसायिक रूप से लाभप्रद सिद्ध नहीं हुआ। 1933 ई. में अपने ऋण को पटाने के लिए उन्होंने मोहनलाल भवनानी के सिनेटोन कम्पनी में कहानी लेखक के रूप में काम करने का प्रस्ताव स्वीकार कर लिया। फिल्म नगरी प्रेमचंद को रास नहीं आई। वे एक वर्ष का अनुबन्ध भी पूरा नहीं कर सके और दो महीने का वेतन छोड़कर बनारस लौट आए। उनका स्वास्थ्य निरन्तर बिगड़ता गया। लम्बी बीमारी के बाद 8 अक्टूबर 1936 को उनका निधन हो गया।

1984 by George Orwell (Hardback)

- Dimensions : 22.5 x 14.5 x 2.5 cm
In England that has been shred to pieces by wars, civil conflict and revolutions, Winston Smith survives in a one-room apartment in the small province of Airstrip One. In a dictatorial society where freedom of individuality is suppressed and thoughts are monitored by the Thought Police, the Party makes all the rules, guided by its leader Big Brother. Tele screens, cameras and secret microphones in every home enable the Thought Police in identifying citizens that might compromise the Party’s command. Winston works under the Ministry of Truth as an editor and his job is to revolutionise history by rewriting records, altering photographs, managing the ‘unpersons’ and discarding original documents in a ‘memory hole’. Winston soon develops a keen interest in the real history of the world and starts writing a secret journal criticising the Party and Big Brother. He crosses paths with Julia, who shares his contempt towards the Party, and they begin their apparently secret love affair by meeting in blue-collar neighbourhoods that do not have tele screens. Believing that they are escaping the Thought Police’s radar, both join the Brotherhood, an underground society that intends to rage war against the Party but they are unaware that Big Brother is always watching. With plot twists that are breath-taking this book does not shy away from questioning the modern world which explains why throughout its publication history, the book has either been banned or challenged as subversive and claimed to be ideologically corrupting.

The Sun Also Rises ( Original Classic Edition) by Ernest Hemingway (HB)
- Hardcover : 197 pages
- ISBN-13 : 978-8182478923

- Dimensions : 22.5 x 14.5 x 1.7 cm
The Sun Also Rises is a 1926 novel by American writer Ernest Hemingway. The novel is a roman à clef: the characters are based on real people in Hemingway’s circle, and the action is based on real events, particularly Hemingway’s life in Paris in the 1920s and a trip to Spain in 1925 for the Pamplona festival and fishing in the Pyrenees. Hemingway presents his notion that the “Lost Generation”-considered to have been decadent, dissolute, and irretrievably damaged by World War I-was in fact resilient and strong. Hemingway investigates the themes of love and death, the revivifying power of nature, and the concept of masculinity.

The Metamorphosis ( An Original Classic) by Franz Kafka
- ISBN-13 : 978-8182478688
The metamorphosis’ Is a short novel by Franz Kafka, first published in 1915. It is often cited as one of the seminal works of fiction of the 20th century and is widely studied in colleges and universities across the Western world. The story begins with a travelling salesman, Gregor SA MS a, waking to find himself transformed into an insect. “When Gregor SA MS a woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin.” with this startling, bizarre, yet surprisingly funny first sentence, Franz Kafka begins his masterpiece, ‘the metamorphosis’. It is the story of a young man who, transformed overnight into a giant beetlelike insect, becomes an object of disgrace to his family, an outsider in his own home, a quintessentially alienated man. A harrowing—though absurdly comic—meditation on human feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and isolation, ‘the metamorphosis’ Has taken its place as one of the most widely read and influential works of twentieth-century fiction.
