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।

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.

The Day of the Beast by Zane Grey (H.B)
The book is a fierce and stormy (and indeed steamy) melodrama, and an indignant denunciation of American postwar society. Three wounded privates return from the war, too late for a hero’s welcome. One gets the sense that Daren Lane is less a character than Zane Grey’s weapon for attacking degenerate modern America. The men who did not go to fight are all ‘slackers’, and dangers to the town’s womenfolk.

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”.

The Talisman by Walter Scott (Hardback)
- Page : 376
- ISBN : 978-9394885882
- Dimensions : 22.5 x 14.5 x 2.3 cm
The main characters are the Scottish knight Kenneth, a fictional version of David of Scotland, Earl of Huntingdon, who returned from the third Crusade in 1190; Richard the Lionheart; Saladin; and Edith Plantagenet, a relative of Richard. In Scott’s own words: “. . . the warlike character of Richard I, wild and generous, a pattern of chivalry, with all its extravagant virtues and its no less absurd errors, was opposed to that of Saladin, in which the Christian and English monarch showed all the cruelty and violence of an Eastern sultan, and Saladin, on the other hand, displayed the deep policy and prudence of a European sovereign, whilst each contended which should excel the other in the knightly qualities of bravery and generosity. This singular contrast afforded, as the author conceived, materials for a work of fiction possessing peculiar interest.”
