Vardaan by Munshi Premchand (Hardcover)
‘वरदान’ दो प्रेमियों की दुखांत कथा है। ऐसे दो प्रेमी जो बचपन में साथ-साथ खेले, जिन्होंने तरुणाई में भावी जीवन की सरल और कोमल कल्पनाएं संजोईं, जिनके सुन्दर घर के निर्माण के अपने सपने थे और भावी जीवन के निर्धारण के लिए अपनी विचारधारा थी। किन्तु उनकी कल्पनाओं का महल शीघ्र ढह गया । विश्व के महान कथा- शिल्पी प्रेमचन्द के उपन्यास वरदान में सुदामा अष्टभुजा देवी से एक ऐसे सपूत का वरदान मांगती है, जो जाति की भलाई में संलग्न हो। इसी ताने-बाने पर प्रेमचन्द की सशक्त कलम से बुना कथानक जीवन की स्थितियों की बारीकी से पड़ताल करता है। सुदामा का पुत्र प्रताप एक ऐसा पात्र है जो दीन-दुखियों, रोगियों, दलितों की निस्वार्थ सहायता करता है।

A canvas exploring a diverse array of themes matrimony, politics, philosophy, altruism, adultery, religion and death, it is a masterpiece in realist fiction. Anna Karenina, a married aristocrat and socialite from St. Petersburg, falls in love with Count Vronsky, a suave military officer. Hemmed in by the laws of the Russian Orthodox Church, Anna is indecisive and anxious about leaving her husband and starting a new life with Vronsky. A social outcast, Anna is a voracious reader and detests fakery that she feels her husband epitomizes. Unfortunately, with her growing suspicion of Vronsky’ s fidelity, her affair brings her more misery than joy. Eventually, her paranoia leads her to taking her own life. ‘Flawless as a work of art’ is how Fyodor Dostoyevsky described Anna Karenina.
