(Hindi) – Parinita by Sharatchandra Chatopadhyay
The Parineeta" by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay is a classic Bengali novel set in early 20th-century Kolkata. The story revolves around Lalita, an orphaned girl engaged to Shekhar, a wealthy young man from a privileged background. Their friendship blossoms into love, yet societal differences and misunderstandings strain their relationship. Shekhar's family has a sense of superiority, causing tensions and emotional turmoil.
The narrative explores themes of love, class disparity, and societal norms prevalent in the society of that time. Lalita's resilience and Shekhar's internal struggle against societal expectations form the crux of the story. Sarat Chandra portrays the lives of women, their challenges, and their aspirations within the confines of a conservative society. Lalita's character, representing the evolving woman of her time, seeks personal growth and independence despite the constraints.
"The Parineeta" is a poignant tale of love, sacrifice, and societal constraints, shedding light on the complexities of human emotions and the societal backdrop of pre-independence Bengal. Sarat Chandra's vivid storytelling and deep understanding of human nature make this novel a timeless literary treasure.

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.

A Tale Of Two Cities by Charles Dickens (Paperback)
"Charles Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities portrays a world on fire, split between Paris and London during the brutal and bloody events of the French Revolution. After eighteen years as a political prisoner in the Bastille the aging Dr Manette is finally released and reunited with his daughter in England. There, two very different men, Charles Darnay, an exiled French aristocrat, and Sydney Carton, a disreputable but brilliant English lawyer, become enmeshed through their love for Lucie Manette. From the tranquil lanes of London, they are all drawn against their will to the vengeful, bloodstained streets of Paris at the height of the Reign of Terror and soon fall under the lethal shadow of La Guillotine. This edition uses the text as it appeared in its first serial publication in 1859 to convey the full scope of Dickens's vision, and includes the original illustrations by H.K. Browne ('Phiz'). Richard Maxwell's introduction discusses the intricate interweaving of epic drama with personal tragedy.
