  Intentions

  Oscar Wilde

  Intentions is a brilliant and provocative collection of essays in which Oscar Wilde articulates his most influential ideas on art, aesthetics, and criticism. First published in 1891, this landmark work reveals Wilde not only as a master storyteller and dramatist, but also as one of the sharpest and most original literary thinkers of the Victorian era.
  
  The book consists of four major essays—"The Decay of Lying," "Pen, Pencil and Poison," "The Critic as Artist," and "The Truth of Masks." Written in Wilde's signature style—witty, paradoxical, and elegantly ironic—these essays challenge conventional beliefs about art, morality, realism, and the role of the critic. Wilde argues boldly that art should not imitate life, but rather that life imitates art, and that beauty and imagination are far more important than factual accuracy or moral instruction.
  
  Through sparkling dialogue and incisive analysis, Wilde defends the philosophy of Aestheticism, asserting that art exists for its own sake. He elevates criticism to an art form in itself, celebrating subjective interpretation, intellectual freedom, and creative expression. At the same time, Wilde playfully dismantles Victorian seriousness, exposing the limitations of moralism and the dangers of rigid realism.
  
  Intentions is both intellectually stimulating and endlessly entertaining. Wilde's essays remain remarkably modern, anticipating many ideas central to contemporary literary theory, cultural criticism, and artistic discourse. His language is rich with epigrams and memorable observations that reward careful reading and reflection.
  
  Essential reading for students, scholars, and lovers of classic literature, Intentions offers a profound insight into Oscar Wilde's artistic philosophy and enduring legacy. It is a book that challenges readers to rethink the nature of art, truth, and beauty—and to embrace imagination as the highest form of reality.

  Krantikari - Bharat ke...

  Sanjeev Sanyal

  • 0

  The history of India's struggle for freedom is usually told from the perspective of the non-violent movement. Yet, the story of armed resistance to colonial occupation is just as important. Names such as Vinayak Savarkar, Aurobindo Ghosh, Rashbehari Bose, Bagha Jatin, Sachindra Nath Sanyal, Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad and Subhas Chandra Bose are still widely remembered. Their story is almost always presented as acts of individual heroism and not as part of a wider movement that had any overarching strategy or significant impact on the overall struggle for Independence. In reality, the revolutionaries were part of a large network that sustained armed resistance against the British Empire for half a century. They not only created a wide network inside India but also established nodes in Britain, France, Thailand, Germany, Persia, Russia, Italy, Ireland, the United States, Japan and Singapore. At various points, they received official support and recognition from the governments of some of these countries. Even the internal dynamics of the Indian National Congress of the time cannot be understood without the revolutionaries, who enjoyed widespread support within the organization. This was no small-scale movement of naive individual heroism but one that involved a large number of extraordinary young men and women who were connected in multiple ways to each other and to the evolving events of their times.  
  Krantikari, the Hindi translation of the bestselling Revolutionaries, tells their story, one that is replete with swashbuckling adventure, intrigue, espionage, incredible bravery, diabolical treachery and shockingly unpredictable twists of fate.

  The Book of Lambspring is one of the few real-life cases of a centuries-old book on alchemy. Nicolas Barnaud was a French Protestant writer, physician and alchemist, from Crest, in Dauphiné, from which he took the name Delphinas. He was a member of the Monarchomaques. He is associated with a number of mysteries.  
  His 1597 collection Commentariolum in Aenigmaticum quoddam Epitaphium, on the Aelia Laelia Crispis puzzle inscription, included the alchemical Mass of Nicholas Melchior, still of disputed authorship. The 1599 Triga Chemica: De Lapide Philosophico Tractatus Tres was the first publication of the Book of Lambspring.
