Summary

The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson begins with the act of a young slave girl exchanging her light-skinned child, fearing for its safety, for that of her master's. From this reversal of identities evolves a suspenseful murder mystery and courtroom drama. "The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson" is everything one would expect from a novel by Mark Twain. On the surface it is a witty and satirical tale but as one digs deeper a biting social commentary of racial inequality can be found.

    Chastity - The Shackleford...

    In this funny Regency romance series, the Shackleford sisters descend on a Regency society that doesn’t know what’s hit it… 
    In the eyes of her family, Chastity Shackleford was impulsive, flighty, overly emotional and inclined to sentimental overtures. All in all, a disaster waiting to happen should she accept the Duke of Blackmore’s offer of a Season in London. But what else was she to do since her twin sister and best friend had abandoned her for the wilds of Cornwall? 
     
    Naturally she might have hoped that disaster had waited a little longer before striking, but at least she faced the possibility of marriage with someone who had all his own teeth. The fact that the gentleman was also wanted for murder was a little off-putting, but then one couldn’t have everything. 
     
    When Christian Stanhope was forced to jump ship after being accused of a crime he didn’t commit, he’d never expected to return to England. But then he’d never expected to become the next Earl of Cottesmore either. 
     
    However, if he was to survive the merciless world of England’s aristocracy, clearing his name was essential. And for that he needed the help of his former First Lieutenant Nicholas Sinclair, now the Duke of Blackmore. But first he had to convince the Duke that he was not guilty of a heinous murder committed seventeen years earlier. A task easier said than done. 
     
    But just when he despaired of ever finding the real culprit and bringing him to justice, help, or possibly hindrance, arrived from an unexpected quarter… 
     
    Perfect for fans of Regency Romances with wit and humour and a little bit of steam...

    Einstein o Indubala:...

    A critically acclaimed stinging narrative by the legendary Bibhutibhusan Bandopadhyay, the title of 'Einstein o Indubala' reflects the pathological low intellectual taste of the masses that could not distinguish between class and gloss. The story is a dark sarcasm that mocks the trite, banal, and trivial - a symptomatic occupation that lacks intellectual curiosity, imagination, and common sense in identifying and appreciating real quality in the face of mindless temptations and a false sense of glamour. 
    The deliberate parody portrays the quintessential opposite poles of the human intellect to bear on the author's focus on this paradoxical human behavior in the garb of a comical display of human apathy and indifference to appreciate something great. 
    Reflect on this masterclass from one of the classical masters of Bengal literature that rings true even in today's context and society.

    Do you embrace your life and how you came to be who you are today? While that can sometimes be painful, it could be the most powerful thing you ever do. Witness this power through the legacy of Victor Mycynek (1943-2004). 
    Victor-an engineer, craftsman, and forestry enthusiast-was not a politician, celebrity, CEO, or business owner. He wasn't an artist or in the military. He didn't live through the era of social media influencers. Still, just by being himself, he inspired the richest and fullest life possible for many who knew him. It would be an understatement to say he used his time well. 
    Victor's son, Steven, proves through stories about his father, some happy or sad, some funny or just plain odd, that accepting who you are and where you came from, quirks and all, can unleash an awesome force to impact the world around you for the better. Following Victor's example, we all can learn to use our time well.
