Summary

In "The Lost Prince," Frances Hodgson Burnett weaves a richly imagined narrative that combines elements of adventure and fantasy with poignant explorations of identity and belonging. Set against the backdrop of the fictional European kingdom of Samandra, the story follows young Marco, who embarks on a quest to protect the rightful heir to the throne, intertwining themes of loyalty and courage. Burnett'Äôs stylistic prose is imbued with vivid descriptions, allowing readers to immerse themselves in this fantastical world that mirrors the political tumult of her time, as she cleverly critiques societal norms and the concept of nobility. Frances Hodgson Burnett, an accomplished author known for her works such as "The Secret Garden" and "A Little Princess," drew upon her experiences as an immigrant and her keen observations of Victorian society while penning this tale. Her personal background'Äîexperiencing both the challenges of poverty and the uplifting power of imagination'Äîshapes her narratives, imbuing them with a sense of hope and resilience. "The Lost Prince" reflects her belief in the transformative power of bravery and friendship. I wholeheartedly recommend "The Lost Prince" to readers seeking a blend of fantasy and profound moral lessons. Burnett's timeless storytelling and heartfelt characters continue to resonate with audiences, making this book a cherished addition to any literary collection.

    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.

    This book is a kind of journey which explores the love tradition across ages. Starting from the Petrarchan society where lover and the beloved were treated differently. It was a kind of master slave relationship. Beloved was treated like a star and the lover used to follow the star. Vidyapati was a kind of poet who was far ahead of his contemporaries and in his poems we can find different elements of love. This book presents a comparison of love tradition of Vidyapati and few British Poets. Love has always been a serious concern for poets. John Donne is a metaphysical poet who thinks that divinity and purity associated with love can be expressed only through the body whereas Shakespeare acknowledges that his mistress is not so beautiful like rose yet he loves her. His degree of love varies as if he has some metres to measure the intensity of love. This is one of the reasons that he is scared to reveal his relationship with his friend in public. Vidyapati understand such concerns and he has defined purely the tradition of love which will never ever end. He is a poet of fourteenth century but still today he is celebrated in different parts of India and abroad. This book opens the spirituality associated with love.

    Step aboard the raft and drift down the mighty Mississippi with one of literature’s most enduring voices. 
     Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is more than a boy’s tale of mischief and freedom — it is a timeless American classic that questions morality, challenges society’s norms, and celebrates the power of friendship. 
    Told through Huck’s honest, mischievous, and deeply human perspective, this novel takes listeners on a journey through antebellum America, where every bend in the river brings new adventures and hard truths. Alongside Jim, a runaway slave seeking freedom, Huck wrestles with questions of conscience, justice, and what it means to be truly free. 
    Narrated by Michael Lyons, this performance captures both the humor and gravity of Twain’s masterpiece, immersing you in the humor, heart, and sharp critique that has made this novel essential for over a century. 
    Rediscover the story Ernest Hemingway famously called “the source of all modern American literature.”

    Small Town by Philip K. Dick - The theme of "the man who played God" has been used many ways in many stories, but never with more tense and chilling effect than in this tight little yarn by the very able Mr. Dick. You'll like it, we're sure. 
    Verne Haskel crept miserably up the front steps of his house, his overcoat dragging behind him. He was tired. Tired and discour­aged. And his feet ached. "My God," Madge exclaim­ed, as he closed the door and peeled off his coat and hat. "You home already?" 
    Haskel dumped his briefcase and began untying his shoes. His body sagged. His face was drawn and gray. 
    "Say something!"  
    "Dinner ready?" 
    "No, dinner isn't ready. What's wrong this time? Another fight with Larson?" 
    Haskel stumped into the kitchen and filled a glass with warm water and soda. "Let's move," he said. 
    "Move?" 
    "Away from Woodland. To San Francisco. Anywhere." Haskel drank his soda, his middle-aged flabby body sup­ported by the gleaming sink. "I feel lousy. Maybe I ought to see Doc Barnes again. I wish this was Friday and to­morrow was Saturday." 
    "What do you want for dinner?" 
    "Nothing. I don't know."
