Sinopse

In "Tik-Tok of Oz," L. Frank Baum continues his beloved Oz series with an enchanting tale that explores themes of friendship, bravery, and the quest for identity. This installment introduces Tik-Tok, a mechanical man who embodies Baum's fascination with technology and innovation. The narrative is characterized by whimsical prose and rich, imaginative landscapes, typical of Baum'Äôs style, which blends elements of fantasy with poignant social commentary. The book reflects the broader literary context of early 20th-century American children's literature, inviting young readers into a world where the boundaries of reality and imagination blur seamlessly. L. Frank Baum was a visionary writer whose own experiences'Äîranging from his diverse ventures in theatrical productions to his childhood fascination with fairy tales'Äîdeeply influenced his creation of Oz. His background in journalism and commitment to engaging young audiences with moral lessons are evident in this work. Baum's understanding of the transformative power of stories is masterfully displayed through the enchanting adventures of his characters. "Tik-Tok of Oz" is not merely a children'Äôs book but a profound exploration of existential themes through the lens of fantasy. Readers of all ages will find themselves captivated by its charm and depth, and will appreciate how Baum'Äôs vibrant storytelling continues to resonate in contemporary discussions about identity and human experience.

    Smriti Avshesh (Ek Ast Vyast Sansmaran) by Dr. J. L. P. Raju is a heartfelt poetry collection that captures the fragile yet powerful nature of memory, emotions, and human experiences.

    Benjamin Franklin was a proud citizen of America all his life. And a proud subject of the British Empire. Until he wasn’t. 
     
    Under British rule Franklin prospered as a printer, newspaper publisher, and writer. 
    • He served in the Pennsylvania Assembly that made laws for the colony. 
    • He led campaigns to build the first college, library, hospital, and fire department for Philadelphians. 
    • He even proposed a closer political union of Britain and its American colonies to create a stronger Empire. 
     
    But when the British Parliament began chipping away at the colonies’ rights to govern themselves, Americans rebelled. At first Franklin used all his wit and wisdom to patch up the quarrel. When that failed, his dream of a stronger Empire died. 
     
    But a new dream was born—an independent America. 
     
    Gretchen Woelfle uses Franklin’s witty and wise words to portray Benjamin Franklin’s long winding road to revolution.
