1984 by George Orwell (Hardback)
- Page : 282
- ISBN : 978-8182479357
- 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.

History
19ThCentury Punjabi Society by Dr. Manveer Kaur (Hardcover)
The proposed book intends to focus on the study of the society in the Punjab during the late 19th century through the Census reports of 1868 and 1881 and highlight the early trends of social change in the region as a result of colonial rule. An attempt is made for an in depth analysis of the census reports of 1868 and 1881. Though, the period of this research is short, yet the abundant information provided by the census can give us a clearer picture of the society at that particular point of time. It is an exercise to make optimum use of the census to study trends in the society and degree of social change in the Punjab during the late 19th century.

Be it now or hundreds of years ago, the art of oratory has served as a powerful tool for political and societal change. From political oratory of Queen Elizabeth, motivating her troops, from Patrick Henry voicing his willingness to die for freedom, to the historically epic oratory of Abraham Lincoln’s legendary Gettysburg Address and Martin Luther King Jr.’s I Have a Dream, kings, queens, political leaders, women activists, writers, and even convicts, all have something to say through their power-packed words and theatrics, all of which has been covered in our edition of fifty of the finest oratory in human history, capturing this art in all its beauty and diversity.
