Dear Enemy ( An Original Classic ) by Jean Webster (Hardback)
- Page : 188
- ISBN : 9789394885660
- Dimensions : 22.5 x 14.5 x 1.5 cm
Jean Webster (1876-1916) was an American novelist, playwright, and social activist. During the start of the twentieth century (1912), Webster wrote “Daddy-Long-Legs”, an epistolary, best-selling novel that she developed into a play. It met with much success, and the characters were sold as dolls, the money from which going to charities to help fund orphan adoptions. In 1915, Webster published the sequel, “Dear Enemy”. Written in the same epistolary form, “Dear Enemy” met with best-selling acclaim as well. The novel is unique in that the story is propelled by crude, stick-figure animations, drawn by Webster herself, that add a whimsical air to the social issues addressed, the care of orphans and women’s life choices in particular. Sadly, Webster died of childbirth fever in 1916, just a year after the success of “Dear Enemy”.

Desert Gold by Zane Grey (HARDCOVER)
Pulse-pounding action and adventure, while at the same time philosophical and sophisticated, Desert Gold packs a western- style punch! A face haunted Cameron-a woman’s face. It was there in the white heart of the dying campfire; it hung in the shadows that hovered over the flickering light; it drifted in the darkness beyond. This hour, when the day had closed and the lonely desert night set in with its dead silence, was one in which Cameron’s mind was thronged with mmories of a time long past-of a home back in Peoria, of a woman he had wronged and lost, and loved too late. He was a prospector for gold, a hunter of solitude, a lover of the drear, rock-ribbed infinitude, because he wanted to be alone to remember.

Devdas By Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay (Hardcover)
‘देवदास, पारो और चन्द्रमुखी- ये तीन किरदार प्रेम ५के ऐसे प्रतीक बन गये हैं कि उनकी गिनती लैला-मजनू, शीरी – फरहाद, हीर-रांझा के साथ होने लगी है। बीसवीं सदी के बंगाल के ज़मींदार समाज की पृष्ठभूमि में स्थित यह एक मार्मिक प्रेमगाथा है। इसमें देवदास को अपने बचपन की साथी पारो से अटूट प्यार है। लेकिन यह प्यार परवान नहीं चढ़ता। हताश, परेशान देवदास जब शराब को अपना सहारा बना लेता है तब उसकी ज़िन्दगी में आती है चन्द्रमुखी। देवदास और चन्द्रमुखी का रिश्ता अनोखा है- जिसमें प्यार की अनुभूति के विभिन्न रंग एक साथ झलकते हैं। उपन्यास के हर पृष्ठ पर लेखक की गहरी संवेदना, बारीकी से अपने आस-पास के समाज को देखने-परखने की नज़र और इन सबको अपनी कलम से कागज़ पर उतारने की बेजोड़ क्षमता ही कारण है कि 1917 में लिखा यह उपन्यास आज भी पाठकों के बीच इतना लोकप्रिय है। बांगला लेखक शरतचन्द्र चट्टोपाध्याय के इस लोकप्रिय उपन्यास का अनेक भाषाओं में अनुवाद हो चुका है और भारत में ही इस पर कई भाषाओं में एक दर्जन से अधिक फिल्में बन चुकी हैं।

Dhruvswamini (Natak) by Jaishankar Prasad (H.B)
ध्रुवस्वामिनी जयशंकर प्रसाद द्वारा रचित प्रसिद्ध हिन्दी नाटक है। यह प्रसाद की अंतिम और श्रेष्ठ नाट्य-कृति है। इसका कथानक गुप्तकाल से सम्बद्ध और शोध द्वारा इतिहाससम्मत है। यह नाटक इतिहास की प्राचीनता में वर्तमान काल की समस्या को प्रस्तुत करता है। प्रसाद ने इतिहास को अपनी नाट्याभिव्यक्ति का माध्यम बनाकर शाश्वत मानव जीवन का स्वरूप दिखाया है, युग-समस्याओं के हल दिए हैं, वर्तमान के धुंधलके में एक ज्योति दी है, राष्ट्रीयता के साथ-साथ विश्व-प्रेम का सन्देश दिया है। इसलिए उन्होंने इतिहास में कल्पना का संयोजन कर इतिहास की वर्तमान से जोड़ने का प्रयास किया है। रंगमंच की दृष्टि से तीन अंकों का यह नाटक प्रसाद का सर्वोत्तम नाटक है। इसके पात्रों की संख्या सीमित है। इसके संवाद भी पात्रा अनुकूल और लघु हैं। भाषा पात्रों की भाषा के अनुकूल है। मसलन ध्रुवस्वामिनी की भाषा में वीरांगना की ओजस्विता है। इस नाटक में अनेक स्थलों पर अर्थवाक्यों की योजना है जो नाटक में सौंदर्य और गहरे अर्थ की सृष्टि करती है।
