A Collection of Beatrix Potter Stories by Beatrix Potter

ONCE upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were—
Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter.
They lived with their Mother in a sand-bank, underneath the root of a very big fir tree.
"NOW, my dears," said old Mrs. Rabbit one morning, "you may go into the fields or down the lane, but don't go into Mr. McGregor's garden: your Father had an accident there; he was put in a pie by Mrs. McGregor."

‘बच्चे कथनी की बजाय आपकी करनी से ज्यादा सीखते हैं।’ शिक्षक, गाइड, लीडर्स, संरक्षक एवं संस्कार देनेवाले माँबाप बच्चों के मामले में आनेवाली जटिल परिस्थितियों से निपटने में कठिनाई महसूस करते हैं। इन स्थितियों में उन्हें स्वयं मदद की जरूरत होती है। ‘मॉडर्न गुरुकुल’ पुस्तक में सोनाली बेंद्रे बहल ने एक माँ के रूप में अपने जीवन और अनुभवों के बारे में बताया है तथा सहज और बड़े व्यावहारिक ढंग से ‘बताने’ की बजाय ‘दिखाया’ है कि कैसे उन्होंने अपने पुत्र रणवीर के साथ ऐसी उलझी स्थितियों को सुलझाया है।
सभी शिक्षाविदों और एजुकेटर्स के सामने यह एक बड़ी चुनौती है। बच्चे को इस तथ्य के प्रति संवेदनशील बनाना दुष्कर कार्य है कि बाहरी दुनिया उनके विशेषाधिकार में नहीं है। उनकी ऐसे लोगों के प्रति जिम्मेदारी बनती है, जो उनसे कम सौभाग्यशाली हैं।
इस पुस्तक में सोनाली ने बच्चों के लालनपालन के सबसे अधिक महत्त्वपूर्ण पहलू पर विचार किया है। निकोलस स्पार्क्स ने इसे इन शब्दों में व्यक्त किया है : ‘माँबाप बनना कैसा लगता है : यह आपके जीवन का कठोरपन दुष्कर पहलू है; लेकिन बदले में आप इससे सहज रूप में प्यार करने के मायने सीखते हैं।’
आज के भौतिकवादी युग में बच्चों को जीवनमूल्य और संस्कारों का बोध कराकर उनमें सामाजिक चेतना जाग्रत् करनेवाली एक प्रैक्टिकल हैंडबुक हर जागरूक माँबाप के लिए।
The Politeness of Princes, and Other School Stories by P. G. Wodehouse

Thus it happened that Chapple, having finished an excellent breakfast one morning some twenty minutes after everybody else, was informed as he sat in the junior day-room trying, with the help of an illustrated article in a boys' paper, to construct a handy model steam-engine out of a reel of cotton and an old note-book—for his was in many ways a giant brain—that Mr. Seymour would like to have a friendly chat with him in his study. Laying aside his handy model steam-engine, he went off to the housemaster's study.
Kumarsambhav by Mool Chandra Pathak
SKU:

प्रस्तुत कृति संस्कृत के अमर कवि कालिदास के ‘कुमारसंभव’ महाकाव्य के काव्यानुवाद का एक अभिनव प्रयास है।
‘कुमारसंभव’ का शाब्दिक अर्थ
है—‘कुमार का जन्म’। यहाँ ‘कुमार’ से आशय शिव-पार्वती के पुत्र कार्तिकेय से है। इस कृति के पीछे कवि का उद्देश्य
है—शिव-पार्वती की तपस्या, प्रेम, विवाह और उनके पुत्र कुमार कार्तिकेय के जन्म की पौराणिक कथा को एक महाकाव्य का रूप देना।
‘कुमारसंभव’ महाकाव्य में यों तो सत्रह सर्ग मिलते हैं, पर उनमें से प्रारंभिक आठ सर्ग ही कालिदास-रचित स्वीकार किए जाते हैं। अत: प्रस्तुत काव्यानुवाद में विद्वानों की लगभग निर्विवाद मान्यता को ध्यान में रखते हुए केवल प्रारंभिक आठ सर्गों को ही आधार बनाया गया है।
कवित्व व काव्य-कला के हर प्रतिमान की कसौटी पर ‘कुमारसंभव’ एक श्रेष्ठ महाकाव्य सिद्ध होता है। मानव-मन में कवि की विलक्षण पैठ हमें हर पृष्ठ पर दृष्टिगोचर होती है। पार्वती, शिव, ब्रह्मचारी आदि सभी पात्र मौलिक व्यक्तित्व व जीवंतता से संपन्न हैं। प्रकृति-चित्रण में कवि का असाधारण नैपुण्य दर्शनीय है। काम-दहन तथा कठोर तपस्या के फलस्वरूप पार्वती को शिव की प्राप्ति सांस्कृतिक महत्त्व के प्रसंग हैं। कवि ने दिव्य दंपती को साधारण मानव प्रेमी-प्रेमिका के रूप में प्रस्तुत कर मानवीय प्रणय व गार्हस्थ्य जीवन को गरिमा-मंडित किया है।
The Natural Cure of Consumption & Constipation by Charles Edward Page

9788184305216
Sick people searching for means whereby they may be made well, sometimes fall into this error, and for want of thoroughness in their reading of a health-book make blunders in carrying out the prescribed treatment. In such cases, not only do the patients themselves suffer, perhaps lose their lives, or fail in some way, but their failures exert an influence tending to throw a sound method into disrepute.
In a Hollow of the Hills by Bret Harte

It was very dark, and the wind was increasing. The last gust had been preceded by an ominous roaring down the whole mountain-side, which continued for some time after the trees in the little valley had lapsed into silence. The air was filled with a faint, cool, sodden odor, as of stirred forest depths. In those intervals of silence the darkness seemed to increase in proportion and grow almost palpable. Yet out of this sightless and soundless void now came the tinkle of a spur's rowels, the dry crackling of saddle leathers, and the muffled plunge of a hoof in the thick carpet of dust and desiccated leaves. Then a voice, which in spite of its matter-of-fact reality the obscurity lent a certain mystery to, said:—
A Barren Title by T. W. Speight

John Fildew at this time was about fifty-two years of age, but looked somewhat older. Thirty years previously he had been accounted a very handsome man, and there were still sufficient traces of bygone good looks to make credible such a tradition. But the once clear-cut aquiline nose was now growing more coarse and bibulous-looking with every year, and the once shapely waist was putting on a degree of convexity that troubled its possessor far more than any other change that time had seen fit to afflict him with. As yet he was by no means bald, and his iron-gray hair, however thin it might be at the crown, was still plentiful at the sides and back, and being seldom operated upon by the tonsorial scissors, its long, straggling ends mingled with the tangled growth of his whiskers and lay on the collar of his coat behind. Grizzled, too, were whiskers, beard, and mustache, but all unkempt and apparently uncared for, growing as they listed, and only impatiently snipped at now and again by Mr. Fildew himself, when his mustache had grown so long as to be inconvenient at meal-times. His eyes were his best feature. They were dark, piercing, and deep-set, and were overhung by thick, bushy brows, which showed as yet no signs of age. Their ordinary expression was one of cold, quiet watchfulness, but they were occasionally lighted up by gleams of a grim, sardonic humor, accompanied by a half-contemptuous smile and at such times it was possible to understand how it happened that many not over-observant people came to regard him as a genial, good-hearted, easy-tempered fellow, when, in truth, there was scarcely one touch of real geniality in his composition.
Tales from Dickens by Charles Dickens and Hallie Erminie Rives
SKU:
9788184307162
Charles John Huffham Dickens, the master story-teller, was born in Landport, England, February 7, 1812. His father was a clerk in one of the offices of the Navy, and he was one of eight children.
When he was four years old, his father moved to the town of Chatham, near the old city of Rochester. Round about are chalk hills, green lanes, forests and marshes, and amid such scenes the little Charles's genius first began to show itself.
Lost Horizon by James Hilton

Lost Horizon' is a 1933 novel by English writer James Hilton. It is best remembered as the origin of Shangri-La, a fictional utopian lamasery high in the mountains of Tibet. While attempting to escape a civil war, four people are kidnapped and transported to the Tibetan mountains. After their plane crashes, they are found by a mysterious Chinese man. He leads them to a monastery hidden in "the valley of the blue moon" -- a land of mystery and matchless beauty where life is lived in tranquil wonder, beyond the grasp of a doomed world.
Sankara—No-Other (A Tribute to Adi Shankaracharya) by Raghunandan Trikannad
SKU:
9788184305616
Sankara Bhagavadpada was instrumental in reviving our culture more than 1200 years back. Unfortunately, sankaracarya has become synonymous with terse, logical and complex philosophy of Advaita; or with Brahmanism a word coined by western philosophers, and a notion that he is relevant only to a particular caste; or with the ascetic way of life that promotes escapism. This book tries to present ¸ Acaryasankara as a prodigy discovering his mission; as a person who learnt from many persons and situations, after coming in direct contact with the masses and classes of the society; as a prophet who had the foresight to select the eligible persons for his mission; as a forerunner who included all persons at every stage of growth in his teachings; as a synthesiser of hand, heart and head, and most of all, as an inspiration for scaling that peak which lies within each one of us.
