Poetry
Paradise Lost ( An Original Classic ) by John Milton (H.B)
“Of man’s first disobedience and the fruitOf that forbidden tree, whose mortal tastBrought death into the world and all our woe,With loss of Eden..”Satan and his fellow rebel angels contemplate on corrupting God’s beloved new creation, Mankind. He volunteers and prepares to leave. His children—Sin and Death—build a bridge between Hell and Earth. and disguising himself as a cherub, he lands on Earth. Adam and Eve, after a long day at work, are resting in their bower. and that’s when in the form of a serpent, Satan whisper’s into Eve’s ears. Tempted to eat from the forbidden Tree of Knowledge, Eve commits the sin.And hence follows the Fall of Man.. Milton’s magnum opus, Paradise Lost, threads together two stories focused on different heroes—the half-heroic, half-evil charismatic Satan and the united Adam and Eve—skillfully balancing them. the epic poem continues to remain as celebrated as ever.

Religion & Philosophy
Ecce Homo by Friedrich Nietzsche (H.B)
In late 1888, only weeks before his final collapse into madness, Nietzsche (1844-1900) set out to compose his autobiography, and Ecce Homo remains one of the most intriguing yet bizarre examples of the genre ever written. In this extraordinary work Nietzsche traces his life, work and development as a philosopher, examines the heroes he has identified with, struggled against and then overcome – Schopenhauer, Wagner, Socrates, Christ – and predicts the cataclysmic impact of his ‘forthcoming revelation of all values’. Both self-celebrating and self-mocking, penetrating and strange, Ecce Homo gives the final, definitive expression to Nietzsche’s main beliefs and is in every way his last testament.

Sociology
Betwixt and Between Identities by Dr. Shalini Goyal
About the book – Ruth Prawer Jhabvala is an Indo -Anglian novelist belonging to Europe by virtue of birth but settled in India by virtue of marriage. This book is a study of three novels of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala: A Backward Place, A New Dominion and Heat and Dust and deals with cultural cross currents and the problem of betwixt and between identities faced by the characters of Jhabvala. Jhabvala herself faced cultural cross currents and the problem of betwixt and between identity while staying in India and she portrayed the same in her fiction. Though she made this country her home for about a quarter of a century, but she views India and Indian characters from the lens of a foreigner. This book divides the European characters into three categories: Firstly there are the European seekers seeking love, peace and spirituality in India. Second category is of the users or suckers who live in India just to thrive on the benevolence of the rich Indians. The third group belonging to this trio is of the temporary visitors who come to India with an aim to interpret her mysteries but fail to understand real India. All these characters become betwixt and between personalities belonging neither to the East nor to the West.

History
Vibhajan 1947 ( 75 Varsh Pahale ) by Dr. Chandra Trikha (H.B)
कितनी जल्दी में थे हम लोग 75 वर्ष पूर्व हमने हड़बड़ी में सिर्फ एक माह की अवधि देकर एक बर्तानवी एडवोकेट को एक कलम थमा दी ताकि वह मजहब के आधार पर कुछ लकीरें खींच दे, जिन्हें हम बंटवारे की अंतिम लकीरें मान लेंगे हमने उस एक शख्स की व्यावसायिक बुद्धि पर इतना भरोसा कर लिया, जो शख्स हमारी तहजीब, भाषा, भूगोल और व्यावहारिक जिंदगी से पूरी तरह नावाकिफ था। वह इस एक महीने की नियुक्ति से पहले कभी भी इस महाद्वीप में पर्यटक के रूप में भी नहीं आया था।

Colour Matching on Textiles by David Paterson (H.B)
Although a valuable and extensive literature is already devoted to the textile arts, no book has yet appeared on the important subject of the colour-matching of dyed textiles. The subject is a comprehensive one, comprising as it does the study of colour perception, the qualities of day-light, the optical properties of the fibres and dyestuffs employed, and also the influences of artificial illumination on colour appearances.This little manual attempts, as far as possible, to systematise and elucidate the many perplexing phenomena that come before the dyer and colour chemist in the course of their everyday work. How far this attempt succeeds lies with the reader himself to judge: but I hope it may prove a genuine help to the practical man as well as to the student.SKU: n/a -
