Sinossi

A Little Princess is a children's novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. A Little Princess opens with seven-year-old Sara Crewe and her father, Captain Crewe, arriving at Miss Minchin's boarding school for girls in London. Captain Crewe is very wealthy and states that Sara is destined for a lavish, comfortable future. Despite being pampered all her life in India, Sara herself is very intelligent, polite, and creative. Headmistress Miss Minchin is secretly jealous and dislikes Sara for her cleverness, but openly praises and flatters her because of her father's wealth. Before departing for India, Captain Crewe purchases Sara an elegant wardrobe and a doll whom Sara adores and names "Emily." Sara's friendliness and love for pretending and storytelling makes her popular with most of the school's students.

    We can compare the whole cosmic universe with a dark room. Inside
     
    the room a few candles are flickering. With this candle-light the
     
    room is being slightly illuminated. We can call this candle-light as
     
    energy. Centring such energy each universe has developed. Several
     
    similar universes are positioned parallelly.
     
    The universe we are in does not only mean our earth or the solar
     
    system, but everything surrounding makes up our universe. Between
     
    two such adjacent universes there is a huge dark vacant space. By
     
    making an aperture through the wormhole we can cross this dark
     
    vacant space within minutes and go from one universe to another.

    The fascinating story Sacagawea, a young Native American mother who became entrenched in American history. Sacagawea was born into the Shoshone Lemhi tribe in 1788 and at the age of 12, kidnapped by another tribe where she was kept as a slave. At the age of 16, she was forced to marry a violent French-Canadian fur trader who won her in a bet. It was then she met the leaders of the Corps of Discovery, Lewis and Clark, when they hired her husband to act as their guide for the remainder of their Louisiana Territory expedition to the Pacific coast. Sacagawea would accompany the team, with her 2-month-old son strapped to her back, to serve as their translator. The biography chronicles historical facts and speculated accounts of her role in the expedition, and her later years, from the conflicting details of her death to how she is now viewed as the face of female strength and courage. Contextual side stories offer further perspective on key details, locations, and people referenced in Sacagawea's story. Archival photographs, drawings, and paintings are chronologically arranged, adding visual context to her compelling story, as well as the inclusion of further reading and website recommendations, maps, glossary, and index. Content developed for young readers, interest level grades 4-6 (reading level, grade 5).

    The Shoddy Lands - A Journey...

    The Shoddy Lands by C. S. Lewis - When a skeptical professor steps into the mind of a former student’s fiancée, he discovers a surreal landscape shaped by vanity, obsession, and alarming emptiness. The Shoddy Lands is a sharp and unsettling exploration of how our inner worlds reveal far more than we intend. 
    Clive Staples Lewis (1898–1963) was a British author, scholar, and Christian apologist whose work has had a lasting impact on literature, theology, and popular culture. Born in Belfast, Ireland, Lewis showed an early passion for storytelling and mythology. He studied at Oxford University and later became a fellow and tutor in English literature at Magdalen College. After serving in World War I, Lewis returned to academia and developed a keen interest in philosophy, literature, and faith. 
    Though raised in a Christian household, Lewis became an atheist in his youth, only to return to Christianity in his early thirties—a journey that profoundly shaped his writing. As a lay theologian, he wrote accessible and powerful works on Christian belief, including Mere Christianity, The Problem of Pain, and The Screwtape Letters. These texts helped articulate Christian faith for a modern audience, blending reason, imagination, and moral clarity. 
    Lewis is perhaps best known for The Chronicles of Narnia, a seven-book fantasy series that has captivated readers for generations. He also explored science fiction in his Space Trilogy, beginning with Out of the Silent Planet. As a member of the literary circle known as The Inklings—which included close friend J.R.R. Tolkien—Lewis valued imagination as a means of expressing deep truths. 
    C. S. Lewis died in 1963, but his work continues to inspire readers of all ages across the world.
