One of the most celebrated Indian writers of the early 20th century, and regarded as ‘up any as SA Mr at’, Munshi Premchand was born on July 31, 1880. He began his writing career when the Indian Independence movement was at its peak. Through his early writings, he expressed his support for the cause of freedom. In 1910, his collection, soz-e-watan, was labelled rebellious on account of its message, which provoked Indians to overthrow the British Empire and gain independence. Some of Premchand’s seminal works include sevasadan, rangbhoomi, Nirmala, kaayakalp, Gaban and God a an, among others. His last published story was ‘cricket match’, which appeared in Zamana in 1938, posthumously. Munshi Premchand.
बरसात के दिन हैं, सावन का महीना. आकाश में सुनहरी घटाएं छाई हुई हैं. रह रह कर रिमझिम बरसा होने लगती है. अभी तीसरा पहर है; पर ऐसा मालूम हो रहा है शाम हो गयी. आमों के बाग में झूला पड़ा हुआ है. लड़कियां भी झूल रही हैं और उनकी माताएं भी. दो-चार झूल रही है, दो चार झूला रही हैं. कोई कजली गाने लगती है कोई बारहमासा. इस ऋतु में महिलाओं की बाल-स्मृतियां भी जाग उठती है. ये फुहारे मानो चिंताओं को हृदय से धो डालती हैं. मानों मुरझाए हुए मन को भी हरा कर देती हैं.

The book that topped the international online poll held in Agatha Christie’s 125th birthday year to discover which of her 80 crime books was the world’s favourite.
1939. Europe teeters on the brink of war. Ten strangers are invited to Soldier Island, an isolated rock near the Devon coast. Cut off from the mainland, with their generous hosts Mr and Mrs U.N. Owen mysteriously absent, they are each accused of a terrible crime. When one of the party dies suddenly they realise they may be harbouring a murderer among their number.
The 10 strangers include a reckless playboy, a troubled Harley Street doctor, a formidable judge, an uncouth detective, an unscrupulous mercenary, a God-fearing spinster, two restless servants, a highly decorated general and an anxious secretary. One by one they are picked off. Who will survive? And who is the killer? Copies of an ominous nursery rhyme hang in each room, the murders mimicking the awful fates of its ‘Ten Little Soldier Boys’.
The clear winner in an international online poll held to discover the world’s favourite Agatha Christie book, this new paperback also coincides with a new 3-part BBC TV adaptation featuring a stellar ensemble cast: Douglas Booth, Charles Dance, Maeve Dermody, Burn Gorman, Anna Maxwell Martin, Sam Neill, Miranda Richardson, Toby Stephens, Noah Taylor and Aidan Turner.

Great Short Stories of Charles Dickens by Charles Dickens(Paperback)
Charles Dickens (7 February 1812 - 9 June 1870) was an English novelist, generally considered the greatest of the Victorian period. Dickens enjoyed unrivaled popularity and fame during his career, and he remains popular, being responsible for some of English literature’s most iconic novels and characters. Many of his writings, with their recurrent concern for social reform, first appeared in magazines in serialized form, a popular format at the time. Dickens often created the episodes as they were being serialized. The practice lent his stories a particular rhythm, punctuated by cliff-hangers to keep the public looking forward to the next installment. The continuing popularity of his novels and short stories is such that they have never gone out of print. Dickens’ work has been highly praised for its realism, comedy, mastery of prose, and unique personalities by writers such as Leo Tolstoy, George Gissing, and G.K. Chesterton.

Othello: The Moor Of Venice – William Shakespeare (Paperback)

Condition : New

"In Othello, Shakespeare creates a powerful drama of a marriage that begins with fascination (between the exotic Moor Othello and the Venetian lady Desdemona), with elopement, and with intense mutual devotion and that ends precipitately with jealous rage and violent deaths. He sets this story in the romantic world of the Mediterranean, moving the action from Venice to the island of Cyprus and giving it an even more exotic coloring with stories of Othello's African past. Shakespeare builds so many differences into his hero and heroine—differences of race, of age, of cultural background—that one should not, perhaps, be surprised that the marriage ends disastrously. But most people who see or read the play feel that the love that the play presents between Othello and Desdemona is so strong that it would have overcome all these differences were it not for the words and actions of Othello's standard-bearer, Iago, who hates Othello and sets out to destroy him by destroying his love for Desdemona. As Othello succumbs to Iago's insinuations that Desdemona is unfaithful, fascination—which dominates the early acts of the play—turns to horror, especially for the audience. We are confronted by spectacles of a generous and trusting Othello in the grip of Iago's schemes; of an innocent Desdemona, who has given herself up entirely to her love for Othello only to be subjected to his horrifying verbal and physical assaults, the outcome of Othello's mistaken convictions about her faithlessness."
