Contemporary Critics

Contemporary Critics is the compilation of  criticism and theories. It deals with the mini school of thoughts. The theories involved in the book basically intend to judge the piece of art and when there is judgement it also involves a lot of contradictions. For example, half of the people say that you should change the art & not follow the rules whereas half of them say the opposite of it. 

Also there's a lot of literature criticism involved from both the sides America and rest of Europe, so we see theories also based on these criticisms in this book. 

Theories given at the end of the book will give you an idea about when this book was written like you know the postmodern theory so this was basically done after modernism. 

I  liked the orientalism philosophy very much given by Adverd Syed. It deals with the political views of the Eastern society.

The only thing I didn't like about this book is, it's cover. I believe it could have been a little better and more attractive. 

On a scale of 5, I would give this book 4 stars. 

Also, if you are very much into literature stuff or you are a NET aspirant, then I would advise you to purchase this book.

Vitamin H, Volume 2

 After reading volume 1 of Vitamin H, how could I miss the second volume?

Since my excitement was at its peak, I got overwhelmed when I received this book.

Written by Abhishek Vipul Thakkar, this book offers you quotes full of inspiration, motivation, and overall good vibes. These quotes are simply amazing which can make your day delightful and optimistic. 

There are more than 260 quotes and you can read one quote a day to keep yourself positive.

" Trying and failing feels worse when it occurs but it makes the taste of imminent victory sweeter when it comes"

Isn't this the best quote for motivating anyone?.

Well, just like this, there are several quotes in the book, which you can share with your friends or dear ones, just to cheer them up.

The language used by the author is very easy to comprehend. If you look closely, the cover of the book itself is very motivating and attractive.

I would gladly recommend this to the people out there. The book is quite handy also so you can carry it while going somewhere.

Keeping in mind all the points, I'd give this book 5 stars.

Mythological Monologues

Isn't it just so great when you find one of those books that completely drags you in, makes you fall in love with the characters, and demands that you sit on the edge of your seat for every nail-biting moment of it?

 

Mythological Monologues is one such book that I finished recently. I had picked up this book without even giving a second thought because I'd spent a part of my childhood listening to the epic Hindu tales of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. 

 

There's isn't any doubt how much I enjoyed reading this book. 

 

With 26 outstanding epic monologues, it took me back to my childhood days. The way the author has inscribed the characters of Ramayan & Mahabharata is worth admiring.

 

Draupadi, Bhishma, Chritangada, Eklavya and every other character described gives a profound meaning.

 

Sharing a few lines from my favorite monologue, Kaikeyi

 "I - Queen Kaikeyi lost everything when I let the storm of greed, the strong winds of hate enter my heart and blow away my Utopia; Burn my temple of love, leaving ashes of my sin everywhere"

 

The way Purba Chakraborty has penned down these monologues is just wow! 

 

Short & Simple, these monologues guide young intellects and make them learn about their culture. Also, they engage us in the world of emotions and measures our patience and discernment of morality and sin. 

 

Just wonderful! 

 

The best part of this book is that the narration and language used by the author is very simple and basic which makes it easy for everyone to understand the depth of each monologue.

 

Definitely giving it 5 stars and looking forward to another edition too. 

 

I wonder who would not like to read such an amazing book?
