Children’s Ways by James Sully
One of the few things we seemed to be certain of with respect to child-nature was that it is fancy-full. Childhood, we all know, is the age for dreaming; for living a life of happy make-believe. Even here, however, we want more accurate observation. For one thing, the play of infantile imagination is probably much less uniform than is supposed. There seem to be very serious children who rarely, if ever, indulge in a wild fancy. Mr. Ruskin has recently told us that when a child he was incapable of acting a part or telling a tale, that he never knew a child “whose thirst for visible fact was at once so eager and so methodic”.
China : Ek Arthik Va Bhoo-Rajneetik Chunauti by Prof. Bhagwati Prakash Sharma
चीन आज भारत के लिए एक बाह्य सुरक्षा संकट होने के साथ ही आतंकवाद का पोषक व गंभीर आर्थिक चुनौतियों का कारण भी बनता जा रहा है। सन् 1962 में आक्रमण करके हमारे 38,000 वर्ग किमी. क्षेत्रफल अक्साई चिन के पठार पर अधिकार कर लेने के बाद आज भी वह भारत की 90,000 वर्ग किमी. भूमि को जब चाहे अपना कहकर हमारी सीमा में घुसपैठ भी करता रहता है।
चीन की ऐसी भारत विरोधी व शत्रुतापूर्ण गतिविधियों के उपरांत भी जिस प्रकार भारत के बाजारों में आज सब प्रकार के चीनी उत्पादों की बाढ़-सी आई हुई है, यह और भी अधिक चिंताजनक है।
एक-एक करके देश के कई उद्योग व उद्योग संकुल (इंडस्ट्री क्लस्टर्स) चौपट होते जा रहे हैं। देश में साइकिल उद्योग, खिलौना उद्योग, फर्नीचर उद्योग, स्टेशनरी उद्योग और काँच के उद्योग से लेकर इलेक्ट्रॉनिक व विद्युत् उपकरणपर्यंत अनगिनत व लगभग सभी प्रकार के उद्योग चीनी आयातों व राशिपतन (डंपिंग) से प्रभावित हो रहे हैं।
चीन की ओर से आर्थिक एवं भू-राजनैतिक चुनौतियों से आगाह करनेवाली एक पठनीय पुस्तक।
Chingari Ki Virasat by Narmada Prasad Upadhyay
विचार, चिंतन के निष्कर्ष का अमूर्त रूप है। यह सोचने की ऐसी परिणति है, जो कभी आगे चलकर क्रियान्वयन में मूर्त हो उठती है।
विचार जुगनू भी है, दीपशिखा भी और सूरज भी। वह प्रकाश का हर ऐसा स्रोत है, जो अँधेरे से लड़ने को तत्पर है। वह लहर है, जिसके पास रेत पर अपनी पहचान रचने की संकल्प शक्ति है। वह छेनी है, जिसके पास किसी यक्षी, किसी शालभंजिका, किसी अंबिका को आकार देने की सामर्थ्य है। वह तूलिका है, जो ऐसे रूप को रच देती है, जो रूप हरेक को अपना लगता है। वह ऐसा दर्पण है, जिसमें प्रतिबिंब उलटे दिखाई नहीं देते। ऐसी परछाईं है, जो सूरज के ढलने के साथ घटती नहीं, बल्कि और लंबी होती चली जाती है।
विचार सुबह-सुबह दूब पर ठहरे हुए ओस के कण, ज़मीन पर बिछे हरसिंगार और टप-टप टपककर धरती को महकाते हुए वे फूल हैं, जो केवल धरती का सौरभ और शृंगार बने रहना चाहते हैं, उन्हें आकाश की ऊँचाई की दरकार नहीं होती।
—इसी संग्रह से
शब्दों के कुशल चितेरे श्री नर्मदा प्रसाद उपाध्याय के लालित्यपूर्ण ललित निबंधों का पठनीय संकलन।
Chiriya Ur by Poonam Dubey
चिड़िया उड़’ कल्पना की कहानी है। पूरी दास्ताँ है उस लड़की की, जिसकी तेरह साल की उम्र में उसकी दादी के दबाव में गाँव के किसी लड़के के साथ शादी कर दी जाती है। विवाह शब्द को सही से समझ भी नहीं पानेवाली कल्पना की बाकी की बारह साल की जिंदगी तेज बहाव में बह रही डोंगी की तरह होती है, जहाँ उसके पास इकलौता सहारा उसकी पढ़ने की जबरदस्त इच्छा का होता है। वह समझ जाती है कि पढ़ाई ही एक ऐसा हथियार है, जिसके बलबूते पर वह अपनी बंधुआ जिंदगी से निजात पा सकती है। तमाम उतार-चढ़ाव के बीच कल्पना पढ़ाई पूरी करती है। आततायी ससुराल और पति के साथ रहते हुए, उनसे निबटते हुए। अवमानना के कड़वे बोलों का पूँट पीते हुए वह अपना आत्मसम्मान तलाशती है और फिर एक दिन बोझिल हुए तमाम रिश्तों को तिलांजलि देकर ‘स्व’ की तलाश में विश्व-भ्रमण पर निकल पड़ती है। | इस किताब का नाम ‘चिड़िया उड़’ है।उत्तर भारत के लोकगीतों में ‘चिड़िया अकसर बेटी के लिए कहा जाता है और बेटियाँ महज परकटी चिड़िया बनकर रह जातीं हैं, पर इस उपन्यास की नायिका कल्पना उड़ती है।पंख फैलाकर उसी तरह से जैसे वह बचपन में ‘चिड़िया उड़’ खेल खेलते हुए अपने ख्वाबों में उड़ती थी।
Chitra Mudgal Ki Lokpriya Kahaniyan by Chitra Mudgal
सुप्रसिद्ध कथाकार चित्रा मुद्गल का कहानीलेखन 1964 से शुरू हुआ और अब तक लगभग पाँच दशक की रचनायात्रा में उन्होंने अनेक लोकप्रिय कहानियाँ लिखी हैं। वे सघन सामाजिक सरोकारों से कहानियों को आकार देती हैं। अवध क्षेत्र से लेकर चेन्नई, मुंबई व दिल्ली आदि तक उनका अनुभव विस्तीर्ण है। ‘डोमिन काकी’ से लेकर महानगरों में व्यस्त कामकाजी महिलाओं तक का उन्होंने गहरा अध्ययन किया है। स्त्रीविमर्श की गहमागहमी से अलग रहकर भी उन्होंने हाशिए की ओर ढकेली जा रही स्त्री के बहुतेरे प्रश्नों की पड़ताल की है। वे वंचित व्यक्तियों की पक्षधर रचनाकार हैं। इनकी कहानी सच्चे अर्थों में कहानी है, जिसमें जीवन का सच्चा समन्वयकारी यथार्थ है, रोचकता है, संवेदनाएँ हैं और व्यंजना है।
इनकी कहानियाँ पढ़ते हुए जो बिंब बनते हैं, उनका अंतर्निहित अर्थ एक प्रकाशपूर्ण क्षण में उद्घाटित होकर ग्रहण होता है। कहानी की प्रकृति जनतांत्रिक होती है और उसका रसास्वादन अनुभवपरक बोध से होता है। कहानी एक समग्र प्रभाव को संप्रेषित करती है। मनुष्य जब अपनी क्षुद्रताओं, कमजोरियों और छलावों को स्वीकार करता है तो इस स्वीकार से वह आत्मोन्नयन करता है। इस संग्रह की लोकप्रिय कहानियाँ उपदेशात्मक या निर्देशात्मक नहीं, निर्णयात्मक और क्रियात्मक संकल्पों से संपन्न हैं।
Chitrakoot Mein Ram-Bharat Milap by Dr. Pramod Kumar Agrawal
‘चित्रकूट में राम-भरत मिलाप’ रामकथा के महत्त्वपूर्ण प्रसंग का नाट्यरूप में प्रणयन है।
यह घटना जहाँ भ्रातृप्रेम और त्याग का अद्वितीय आदर्श है, वहीं उससे राजधर्म के महान् सिद्धांत प्रस्फुटित हुए हैं।
वर्तमान परिवेश में लेखक ने रामायण की इस घटना को सामान्य जन तक पहुँचाने का प्रयास किया है।
एक ओर इस कृति का स्वागत जहाँ भारतीय जनमानस द्वारा किया जाएगा, वहीं दूसरी ओर राजशासकों द्वारा भी।
आशा है कि इस कृति का व्यापक रूप से पठन-पाठन तथा मंचन होगा।

प्रस्तुत पुस्तक बेल्जियम के विषय में एक हैंडबुक है जो वहाँ की संपूर्ण जानकारी कम शब्दों में, रोचक शैली में देती है।

Christian Science by Twain, Mark (Samuel Clemens)
It seemed a bad outlook; mine was distinctly a surgery case. Then it was remembered that a lady from Boston was summering in that village, and she was a Christian Science doctor and could cure anything. So she was sent for. It was night by this time, and she could not conveniently come, but sent word that it was no matter, there was no hurry, she would give me “absent treatment” now, and come in the morning; meantime she begged me to make myself tranquil and comfortable and remember that there was nothing the matter with me. I thought there must be some mistake.
