Biography
The Wright Brothers by Fred Charters Kelly (H.B)
In this fascinating, highly readable biography, Fred C. Kelly, a former newspaperman, author, and an old friend of the Wrights, tells the story of the two brilliant, dedicated, flight-obsessed bicycle mechanics from Ohio who first realized mankind’s age-old dream of conquering the skies. Long considered the definitive Wright biography (the manuscript was read and approved by Orville Wright), this book recounts the Wrights’ small-town boyhood, their early interest in all things mechanical, the establishment of the Wright Cycle Shop, and the complete behind-the-scenes story of how they designed, built, tested, and flew (December 1903) the first “Flyer.” Enhanced with sixteen rare photographs, Mr. Kelly’s engaging account avoids minute technical description, yet describes simply and clearly the technological innovations that enabled the two brothers to succeed where so many others had failed. Anyone interested in the mechanics of flight or early aviation will find this volume a splendid introduction to the Wright brothers and their epochal achievement.

Biography, Coming soonMahatma Gandhi; The Man Who Became One With The Universal Being by Romain Rolland (Hardcover)
This book contains a frank and illuminating commentary on Gandhiji and his ideals by the eminent French philosopher,Romain Rolland.As a great European and contemporary of the Mahatma,his views have a special value. The appraisal and assesment of Gandhiji’s ideals of truth and Non-violence and of the strategy of passive resistance against the mighty British Empire is of particular interest as it comes from a brilliant mind of the materialist-oriented West. Long before the world bestowed renown on Gandhiji for his political sagacity, Romain Rolland probed and made known to humanity the spiritual greatness of the man. The two understood each other fully and the great scholar from the west found and drew inspiration from the well-springs of that highly cultivated and dedicated soul. While expressing his admiration for Gandhiji’s ethical approach to religion and politics and his readiness to sacrifice everything for the sake of truth,Romain Rolland does not hesitate to quote liberally from Tagore and Andrews, who criticised some of Gandhiji;s political decisions. He also brings out how British policy forced Gandhiji to switch over from an attitude of loyal co-operation with Great Britain to that of non-violent non-co-operation.Readers will find the Book of sustained interest throughout.
