Shrikant By Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyah (Hardcover)
आत्मकथात्मक शैली में रचित एवं चार भागों में विभक्त ‘श्रीकान्त’ शरत्चन्द्र चट्टोपाध्याय का रोचक, पठनीय एवं संग्रहणीय उपन्यास है, जो पुरुष प्रधान होते हुए भी नारी संवेदना का संवाहक है। इसके नायक श्रीकांत बचपन से ही धुन के धनी और मस्तमौला थे। किसी के साथ या एक ही जगह लंबे समय तक रहना उन की प्रकृति के विरुद्ध था। समाज में उन्हें कोई अपना कहने वाला था, तो केवल उनकी बचपन की सहपाठिन राजलक्ष्मी, जिसने नौ साल की उम्र में ही चैदह साल के किशोर श्रीकांत को करौंदों की माला पहनाकर अपना बनाना चाहा था। फिर भी क्या वह श्रीकांत को अपना बना सकी? यही इस उपन्यास का कथ्य है।

A terrifying psychological trip into the life of one Joseph K., an ordinary man who wakes up one day to find himself accused of a crime he did not commit, a crime whose nature is never revealed to him. Once arrested, he is released, but must report to court on a regular basis–an event that proves maddening, as nothing is ever resolved. As he grows more uncertain of his fate, his personal life–including work at a bank and his relations with his landlady and a young woman who lives next door–becomes increasingly unpredictable. As K. tries to gain control, he succeeds only in accelerating his own excruciating downward spiral.

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.

“For some minutes Alice stood without speaking, looking out in all directions over the country—and a most curious country it was.” curled up in an armchair with her black kitten, Kitty, as Alice shares with it her ideas about a looking-glass house, she suddenly finds herself up on the chimney-piece, on the other side of the mirror. In a room that looks much like her own but where everything is exactly reversed, Alice sees chessmen walking around. And as she steps out of the looking-glass house into the garden of live flowers, she is taken to the Hill by the Red queen. “I declare it‘s marked out just like a large chess-board!” Alice said at last. “There ought to be some men moving about somewhere—and so there are!… Oh, what Fun it is! How I wish I was one of them! I couldn’t mind being a pawn, if only I might join—though of course I should like to be a queen, best.” as Alice embarks on an adventure, joining in as a pawn in the game and exploring this fantastical world of chessmen, Humpty Dumpty, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, will she become a queen?.

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.
