Vaishali Ki Nagarvadhu by Archarya Chatursen (Hardback)
यह उपन्यास एक बौद्धकालीन ऐतिहासिक कृति है । लेखक के अनुसार इसकी रचना के क्रम में उन्हें आर्य, बौद्ध, जैन और हिंदुओं के साहित्य का सांस्कृतिक अध्ययन करना पड़ा जिसमें उन्हें 10 वर्षों का समय लगा। यह उपन्यास कोई एक-दो महीनों में पूर्ण नहीं हुआ बल्कि आचार्य शास्त्री ने इत्मीनान से इसके लेखन में 1939-1947 तक कि नौ वर्षों की अवधि लगाई। इस उपन्यास के केंद्र में ‘वैशाली की नगरवधू’ के रूप में इतिहास-प्रसिद्ध वैशाली की, सौंदर्य की साक्षात प्रतिमा तथा स्वाभिमान और आत्मबल से संबलित ‘अम्बपाली’ है जिसने अपने जीवनकाल में सम्पूर्ण भारत के राजनीतिक और सामाजिक परिवेश को प्रभावित किया था। उपन्यास में अम्बपाली की कहानी तो है किंतु उससे अधिक बौद्धकालीन सामाजिक, राजनीतिक, धार्मिक स्थितियों का चित्रण उपलब्ध है और यही उपन्यासकार का लक्ष्य भी है। विभिन्न संस्कृतियों यथा जैन और बौद्ध और ब्राह्मण के टकराव के साथ-साथ तत्कालीन विभिन्न गणराज्यों यथा काशी, कोशल तथा मगध एवं वैशाली के राजनीतिक संघर्षों का विवरण भी इस कृति में उपलब्ध है। उपन्यास की नायिका फिर भी अम्बपाली ही है जो आदि से अंत तक उपन्यास में छाई हुई है।

The Rainbow Trail by Zane Grey (HARDCOVER)
The novel takes place ten years after events of Riders of the Purple Sage. The wall to Surprise Valley has broken, and Jane Withersteen is forced to choose between Lassiter’s life and Fay Larkin’s marriage to a Mormon. Both novels are notable for their protagonists’ mild opposition to Mormon polygamy, but in The Rainbow Trail this theme is treated more explicitly. The plots of both books revolve around the victimization of women in the Mormon culture: events in Riders of the Purple Sage are centered on the struggle of a Mormon woman who sacrifices her wealth and social status to avoid becoming a junior wife of the head of a local church, while The Rainbow Trail contrasts the older Mormons with the rising generation of Mormon women who will not tolerate polygamy and Mormon men who do not seek it

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.

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.
