| Author: |
| Edition Year: 2007 |

| Abstract: This book is a tour de force. Once Koestler began it, the novel virtually wrote itself. Like the greatest political novels it rapidly passed from literature into the realm of concrete action. It became a weapon in the arsenal of the Cold War and now stands as a monument to that conflict. |

Having rather too much her own way is certainly one of power of Emma and she does have a disposition to think a little too well of herself. When Austen says that these were the real evils indeed of situation of Emma. |

| Author: |
| Edition Year: 2007 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: Literature |
| Language: English |
| Editedby: Harold Bloom |
| Abstract: This book has taken on some of the power of myth, even it is limited by its involuntary obscurantism. It has haunted American literature from poetry of T. S. Eliot through our major novelists of the era 1920 to 1940, on to a line of movies. In this instance, formlessness of Conrad seems to have worked as an Aid, so diffusing his conception as to have made it available to an almost universal audience. |

Much harm has been done to the life of the mind in modern India and to human relation, by pusillanimous considerations, as most of us would have constantly noticed, even highly respected people assume attitudes like: I quite agree with what you say, but how can I say it openly? A small, compact society like the British, where people in professions known each other so well, have been able to live together in a civilized way without concealing their disagreements, thanks to the acknowledged modes of critical behaviour an open society expects it. |

| Title: Masaan: Cremation Ground |
| Author: Gopal Prasad Rimal |
| Edition Year: 2006 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: Literature |
| Language: English |
| Translatedby: Sangita Rayamajhi |
| Abstract: Masaan which was written by Gopal Prasad Rimal during the heyday of the autocratic Rana regime during the forties of the least century continues to occupy a place of importance in literary studies today and is citied as a milestone in the history of Nepali drama. The Play grows around the very traditional values which today will appear obsolete, like a wife getting her husband married, and making him share the bed with the co-wife to produce a child that will be her child psychologically and not that of the real mother. This should be looked as the exigency of the times. This play is the sheer power of women whether that be Helen who leaves home after the humiliating discovery of her husbands mind-set concerning her and the rebellion of the second wife of Krishna who rejects the sympathy and care doled out her at the expense of her right to become a mother and wife. |

It is swiftly and smoothly told, the conflict is resolved into a struggle between a man and a force which he scarcely comprehends, but which he knows that he must continue to strive against, though knowing too that the struggle must end in defeat. The defeat is only apparent, however, for it becomes increasingly clear throughout the story that it is not victory or defeat that matters but struggle itself. |
