The important characteristics of six main languages of the world—German, French, Spanish, Italian, Hindi and Japanese—and their daily usable phrases and basic grammar have been included.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe book also explains how ancient people used scripts to convey their messages, beginning with knot records, tallies, graphic symbols, hieroglyphic, cuneiform, etc. Valuable information about Indus Valley writing, Aramaic, Chinese, Mayan, and Greek writing has also been included.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe book will be useful for students, teachers and scholars in the pertinent field.

At home that night, Scrooge is visited by his deceased business partner Marley's ghost, who is forever cursed to wander the earth dragging heavy chains, having spent a life of greed and selfishness. Marley tells Scrooge that he would be visited by three spirits that night, and that he must listen to them or be cursed to carry chains of his own.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe first of the spirits, the Ghost of Christmas Past, takes Scrooge to Christmas scenes of Scrooge's boyhood and youth, stirring his gentle and tender side, reminding him of a time when he was kinder and innocent. The second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes Scrooge to different scenes--a joy-filled market of people buying the makings of Christmas dinner, celebrations of Christmas in a miner's cottage and in a lighthouse.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe third spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, shows Scrooge a man's neglected grave, the tombstone bearing Scrooge's name.

In the intervening period, Indian fiction in English has become of paramount importance in the wide context of postcolonial studies: an emergent crop of novelists belonging to the so-called “new generation” has colourfully paved the way towards new artistic horizons, re-interpreting Western-derived literary models with inventive approaches. Complementary to their role there is the articulate presence of a host of Indian scholars who in recent years have significantly influenced the course of this analysis and have vitally contributed to enlarging its scope well beyond the original boundaries of studies in literary criticism.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe Companion, therefore, addresses the exigencies of critics, teachers and students alike—all those who need to find quick points of reference in this wide field of studies—by relying on a team of authoritative collaborators and specialists from all over the world. Great care was taken not only in selecting collaborators on the basis of their specialisation but also taking into account their cultural background in relation to the author they were to discuss. The book in fact has been organised to have what have been deemed to be the most representative authors in Indian fiction discussed in an essay-long chapter each, structured to highlight crucial points such as biographical details, novels and critical reception. Each chapter includes a final bibliography complete with primary and secondary sources, enabling the scholar to have immediate orientation on various specific topics. Finally, the book has an innovative section, with synopses of novels, planned to allow our readers to immediately place the authors analysed within the panorama of Indian fiction in English. The over 400 synopses included principally introduce works written by the novelists discussed at length in the previous chapters but, along with them, it is also possible to find summaries of works by authors who, although contributing in a significant way to the development of forms and techniques, do not feature in the first part.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Publishers \u0026 Distributors (P) Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44907912429719,"sku":"9788126903108","price":837.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788126903108.webp?v=1769306173"},{"product_id":"a-companion-to-philip-larkin-multi-vol-set-2-vols","title":"A Companion to Philip Larkin (MULTI VOL SET-2 Vols.)","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): Sunil Kumar Sarker\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher: Atlantic\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher Imprint: Atlantic\u003cbr\u003e • Subject: English Literature\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhilip (Arthur) Larkin (1922-85) is one of the foremost poets who flourished in the post-World War II era of English literature.

An attempt has been made to analyse the thematic web of Girish Karnad’s multi-layered, though relatively less talked-about play—Bali. The intricate structural design of The God of Small Things offers a rewarding and fascinating study of the novel from this point of view. Jhumpa Lahiri’s debut story collection Interpreter of Maladies does have many inviting facets to it and, therefore, apart from a critical appraisal of this book, there are two more essays separately on the immigrant experience and the portrayal of marital relationships in these stories. In Manju Kapur’s novel, Difficult Daughters the protagonist, Virmati evokes a response that is replete with uneasy questions. This anthology also includes essays on two most outstanding bilingual poets—Arun Kolatkar and Dilip Chitre. Exile is not the same experience with a woman as it is for a man. The essay “Images of Women in Exile” takes into account the portrayal of the women character in exile as portrayed by Anita Desai, Bharati Mukherjee, Manju Kapur, and Jhumpa Lahiri. Not much has been written on Satyajit Ray as a sci-fi writer. One of the essays attempts to have a comparative look at him, viz. the fictional writings of Jayant Vishnu Narlikar. This book has also an essay on the short stories of Krishna Baldev Vaid who has translated some of his writings into English from Hindi and is one of the most experimental writers. One of the essays analyses Meena Alexander’s novel Nampally Road, whereas another one examines the emerging Indian urban youth in the novels of Chetan Bhagat. Apart from these, this anthology includes essays on Tennessee Williams, Anne Tyler and Ibsen’s A Doll’s House.

Many critical studies have, in great depth, investigated the historical processes to highlight the various directions the novelists moved in then. At the same time, there was a concurrent and a deliberate attempt on the part of these novelists to discard the heritage of 'Modernism.' Iris Murdoch, who is one of the most prominent novelists of this period, also shared the distrust of her contemporaries for the so-called literary radicalism. However, she remains distinct as a writer among her contemporaries, in her awareness of the problems of the novel and language, in her adherence, both to the idealism about human potentiality and perfectibility that liberal humanism had contained. But she is also conscious of the limited individual capacity to reach that ideal. Her creative career is marked by her desire to bring back to the novel, some of its earlier comprehensive vision of life, society and human character.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe present book attempts to reveal those important areas of Murdoch's thought which set her apart from other novelists writing at that time. Her search for literary metaphors which aim at restoring to novel some of its lost moorings is a significant, almost iconoclastic effort. Taking help from her non-fictional treatises, an attempt has been made in this book to highlight the Platonic burden of her literary and aesthetic creed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Publishers \u0026 Distributors (P) Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44907918885015,"sku":"9788126900244","price":347.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788126900244.webp?v=1769306173"},{"product_id":"a-critical-study-of-joseph-conrad-the-personality-behind-principle","title":"A Critical Study of Joseph Conrad: the Personality Behind Principle","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): R.N.

After an excellent account of Shakespeare’s predecessors there is a long and astute section on Shakespeare himself, including a discussion of the dramatist’s early influence on the Continent, especially in Germany. Volume II also covers Ben Jonson and the later Elizabethans, concluding with the “merits and defects” of Beaumont and Fletcher. Volume III ends the work with an examination of the later Stuart drama — when prose had become permanently the vehicle of dramatic speech in English comedy — and the decay of tragedy. From an early review by Richard Burton in The Dial : ... the work is beyond all compare the most exhaustive and important ... in its field ....

Lewis’s A Preface to Paradise Lost has remained and continues to remain an indispensable introductory book for the study of Paradise Lost. Very briefly, but with remarkable clarity and precision, Lewis touches on all the important aspects of Paradise Lost: form and technique, structure and texture, theological disputes and characterization etc. Lewis believes that a poem is a public activity through which the poet intends to move his readers. It is, therefore, extremely important to know the intention of the poet, to know what the poem is, what it was intended to do and how it is meant to be used. Accordingly, Lewis tries to identify the originally intended meaning of the poem in order to help the reader to have an access to Milton’s intentions. In the process, the Elizabethan world order, the contemporary theological issues, the differences between De Doctrina and Paradise Lost, critical opinions on Milton’s style, diction and characterizations—particularly Satan, Eve, the angels and Satan’s followers—, are all brought to bear on his discussions in the Preface.\n\u003cbr\u003e The book is a must for any student of Paradise Lost.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Publishers \u0026 Distributors (P) Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44907931304087,"sku":"9788126904563","price":417.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788126904563.webp?v=1769306175"},{"product_id":"a-short-history-of-english-literature-multi-vol-set-2-vols","title":"A Short History of English Literature","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): George Saintsbury | Foreword by Mohit K.

Many literary writers raised their voices against this old tradition.\n\u003cbr\u003eIn Indian English literature, Kamala Markandaya—an outstanding novelist on the contemporary commonwealth literary scene and ranks with Mulk Raj Anand, R.K. Narayan and Raja Rao—has initiated the lead of women’s transformation from ‘possession’ to ‘person’ through her writings. She has shown the new face of her women who seek self-fulfillment through self-expression in a milieu where there is a mutuality, understanding and tenderness. Although her women do not rebel, they make the society realize of their presence as ‘persons’ and not mere ‘possession’. The new woman, clinging to her basic values and changing herself according to the changing circumstances, goes ahead on the way seeking for her own identity with new depth and getting recognition. Kamala Markandaya has realistically presented emotional, moral and spiritual problems of new woman. The new woman in her novels is not in ‘proper’ but in ‘making’. \n\u003cbr\u003eAcquainting the readers with Kamala Markandaya, the present book seeks to explore the unexplored aspects of her women, to present the change in their identity, to highlight the new image through a probe into her novels, and finally to show her feminist moral concern through an in‑depth investigation into sexual and familial relationship. It is hoped that the book will prove useful to the students and teachers of Indian English Literature.

The book seeks to show that theory would actually help the reader to be sensitive to the matter of the text and even provide an insight into the architectonics of literary creation.

Narayan to show that the relation between theory and literature is dialogic and promotes open-ended truths. Bakhtin’s theory of the carnival in literature motivates a Copernican revolution in the approach to literature. Contrary to popular ideas, Narayan’s novels are episodic rather than epistemological, serious rather than mere caricatures, and depict a different reality about India hitherto unsuspected.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe book will be useful to both undergraduate and postgraduate students of English literature.

The three contemporary British women writers whose works have been selected for analysis, together span almost a century of feminist theorizing about the status of women in society, and the means of constructing pathways for their liberation.\n\u003cbr\u003eThough women have been writing subversively for centuries now, both within and without patriarchal enclosures, the literature of subversion in its contemporary flagrant exterior is chiefly a product of the failure of the British counterculture and sexual revolution to liberate women from the straitjacket of over-determined media images. The colonization of women’s identity through external determination of their roles within the social matrix and the entrapment of their bodies within the male gaze are the chief concerns of these writers.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe book opens with a justification for the endeavours of the feminist women writers to subvert the gender status quo and an illustration of the misogynistic belief systems on which the treatises written by giants like Plato, Aristotle, Rousseau and Descartes rest. It examines Western psychoanalytic thought and literary canon that reveal similar somatophobic, phallocentric and misogynistic attitudes. An examination of the works of Freud, Lacan, W.B. Yeats, Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Alexander Pope, etc. through the gender lens brings to fore dichotomous portrayals of women who wear either halos or horns.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe narrative strategies employed by Jean Rhys, Angela Carter and Michele Roberts for supporting their aim of subversion have also been examined in the book. It reveals their ingenuity in using lexis, syntax, semantics, graphology, tone, genre, form, narrative voice, silences and intertextuality as means of deconstructing ideological mansions.

It presents a satire of religious excess. When it was written, politics and religion were so closely linked in England, that the religious and political aspects of the satire could not be separated. \n\u003cbr\u003eThe story revolves around the exploits of three sons, Peter, Martin and Jack, representing the main threads of Christianity, viz. Catholic, Anglican, and Puritan, respectively. They receive a bequest from their father, of a coat each, with instructions that no alterations whatsoever may be made in the coats. After some time, the sons find that their coats have fallen out of current fashion. They begin to look for loopholes in their father’s will so that they may make the alterations they want. Each son finds his own means of getting around their father’s admonition, and they struggle with each other for power and dominance. \n\u003cbr\u003eA Tale of a Tub is essentially an allegory. The altering of coats stands for changing the faith. The will of the father represents the Bible. The original state of the coats stands for primitive Christianity. Swift’s satire is unique in the sense that it offers no resolutions. While he ridicules any number of foolish habits, he never offers the reader a positive set of values to embrace. Since Swift does not state what his ideal point is, it is difficult to be clear about the moral thrust of the work. \n\u003cbr\u003eThe book remains one of the top classics in English Literature.

They dread relinquishing childhood dependency and assuming responsibility. Sometimes they feel completely overwhelmed by these problems. In these cases, previous blighting experiences make them hostile or excessively submissive.\n\u003cbr\u003eFrom the birth an individual is influenced by the social environment and he influences it. The ‘law of conditioning’ plays a significant role in fashioning human personality. The influences of home, the freedoms and constraints of society and processes of conflict, co-operation, accommodation and isolation have distinct contribution in the process of conditioning. The social forces, social problems and social situations hamper or help an individual towards the realization of his aspirations. Many of the problems arise from gender discrimination and social set-up or structure.\n\u003cbr\u003eIt is against this backdrop the author has tried to assess the adolescent behaviour in the works of Katherine Anne Porter and J.D. Salinger. Katherine Anne Porter’s later stories and J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye most appropriately suggest the modern predicament of alienation. Feeling isolated the hero distrusts truth, justice and love and negates everything conforming to a value-oriented society.\n\u003cbr\u003eSalinger’s main concern is with the dehumanizing effects of urbanization and technological developments on the psyche of an individual. The writer feels that an incessant striving for wealth, luxuries and comforts of technological civilization lead the individual to spiritual vacuity.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe individual in Ms. Porter’s works desires to understand the past and compares it to the failures of modern man in a mechanized, chaotic world. Ms. Porter longs for the pastoral world of the past but mocks its inadequacy to meet the contemporary challenges. This paradox of illusion is essential to her art and philosophy of life.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe book would be highly useful not only for students and researchers of English Literature but also for students and researchers of Psychology and Psycho-Therapists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Publishers \u0026 Distributors (P) Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44907939987607,"sku":"9788126903177","price":193.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788126903177.webp?v=1769306174"},{"product_id":"aesops-fables","title":"Aesop'S Fables","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): Translated by V.S.

The stories are of diverse origins and have descended to modern times through a number of sources. \n\u003cbr\u003eIt is believed that the first printed version of Aesop’s Fables in English was published in 1484 by William Caxton. Many other versions, in prose and verse, have followed over the centuries. \n\u003cbr\u003eChildren were supposed to be the main readers of Aesop’s fables so that they “might learn, at the same time and from the same book, both moral and linguistic purity”. Well-known English philosopher, John Locke was the first person to advocate that they were “apt to delight and entertain a child … yet afford useful reflection to a grown man.” They will not only entertain but also provide people with serious thoughts. \n\u003cbr\u003eThe stories became popular as a means of protecting the innocence of children from profane songs. In the 18th century the authors in the UK began to give a brief outline of the story and what was usually a longer commentary on its moral and practical meaning. The first of such works was Reverend Samuel Croxall’s Fables of Aesop and Others, newly done into English with an Application to each Fable. Another popular collection was John Newbery’s Fables in Verse for the Improvement of the Young and the Old. \n\u003cbr\u003eThe 1818 edition of The Fables of Aesop and Others is divided into three sections. The First Section contains some of Dodsley’s fables prefaced by a short prose moral; the Second Section has “Fables with Reflections” where there is a prose and verse moral after each story, followed by a lengthy prose reflection; the Third, Section “Fables in Verse” includes fables from other sources in poems. \n\u003cbr\u003eThe stories in Aesop’s Fables contain timeless lessons.

His breakthrough work Essay on Criticism made him known to Addison’s circle, and his Messiah was published in the Spectator in 1712. The Rape of the Lock appeared in Lintot’s Miscellanies in the same year, and its enlarged edition was published in 1714. In 1717 he brought a collection of works containing his two poems on the passion of love.

With the advent of the renaissance and rise of humanism, the old ideas of the medieval period were seriously challenged in the second half of the sixteenth century and the first half of the seventeenth century. A compromise was made in the eighteenth century, and the relationship between God, nature and man was defined in a new way. Pope’s Essay on Criticism and An Essay on Man describe the relationship between God, nature, man, art and society.
