Banbhatt Ki Aatmakatha: बाणभट्ट की आत्मकथा
by Hazari Prasad Dwivediआचार्य हजारीप्रसाद द्विवेदी की विपुल रचना-सामर्थ्य का रहस्य उनके विशद शास्त्रीय ज्ञान में नहीं, बल्कि उस पारदर्शी जीवन-दृष्टि में निहित है, जो युग का नहीं युग-युग का सत्य देखती है। उनकी प्रतिभा ने इतिहास का उपयोग ‘तीसरी आँख’ के रूप में किया है और अतीत-कालीन चेतना-प्रवाह को वर्तमान जीवनधारा से जोड़ पाने में वह आश्चर्यजनक रूप से सफल हुई है। बाणभट्ट की आत्मकथा अपनी समस्त औपन्यासिक संरचना और भंगिमा में कथा-कृति होते हुए भी महाकाव्यत्व की गरिमा से पूर्ण है। इसमें द्विवेदी जी ने प्राचीन कवि बाण के बिखरे जीवन-सूत्रों को बड़ी कलात्मकता से गूँथकर एक ऐसी कथाभूमि निर्मित की है जो जीवन-सत्यों से रसमय साक्षात्कार कराती है। इसमें वह वाणी मुखरित है जो सामगान के समान पवित्रा और अर्थपूर्ण है-‘सत्य के लिए किसी से न डरना, गुरु से भी नहीं, मंत्रा से भी नहीं; लोक से भी नहीं, वेद से भी नहीं।’ बाणभट्ट की आत्मकथा का कथानायक कोरा भावुक कवि नहीं वरन कर्मनिरत और संघर्षशील जीवन-योद्धा है। उसके लिए ‘शरीर केवल भार नहीं, मिट्टी का ढेला नहीं’, बल्कि ‘उससे बड़ा’ है और उसके मन में आर्यावर्त्त के उद्धार का निमित्त बनने की तीव्र बेचैनी है। ‘अपने को निःशेष भाव से दे देने’ में जीवन की सार्थकता देखने वाली निउनिया और ‘सबकुछ भूल जाने की साधना’ में लीन महादेवी भट्टिनी के प्रति उसका प्रेम जब उच्चता का वरण कर लेता है तो यही गूँज अंत में रह जाती हैद-‘‘वैराग्य क्या इतनी बड़ी चीज है कि प्रेम देवता को उसकी नयनाग्नि में भस्म कराके ही कवि गौरव का अनुभव करे?’’
The Race of My Life: An Autobiography Milkha Singh
by Milkha Singh Sonia SanwalkaMilkha Singh has led a life dominated by running, running, running… From a boy who narrowly escaped death during Partition (most of his family was not so lucky), to a juvenile delinquent who stole and outran the police, to a young Army recruit who ran his very first race to win special privileges for himself (a daily glass of milk). After that first race, Milkha Singh became an athlete by default. And what followed was the stuff legends are made of. In this remarkably candid autobiography, Milkha Singh shares the amazing highs of winning India’s first ever gold in athletics at the Commonwealth Games, the unbridled joy of being hailed as the ‘Flying Sikh’ in Pakistan, as well as the shattering low of failure at the Olympics. Powerful and gripping, The Race of My Life documents the journey of an impoverished refugee who rose to become one of the most towering figures in Indian sports.
ADRISHYA_Stories of Great Indian Spies based on the popular television show_Transcreated: Stories Of Great Indian Spies: Based On The Popular Television Show
by Chandni MathurNot all wars are won on the battlefield and not all soldiers fight in combat. Some remain invisible, away from direct combat and yet risk their lives to protect the honour of their king and country. These are the faceless heroes of war—the spies—who collect classified information about the enemy, skilfully helping the ruler and the government of the land to safeguard their own territory. Packed with action, Adrishya is a collection of India's greatest spy stories. It captures the lives of spies—extraordinary men and women—through the danger, the fear and the triumphs. It narrates their heroic acts and follows them as they travel through dangerous landscapes, slip into disguises and hoodwink enemy soldiers. Starting off with India's first spy from the Mahabharata to the RAW officials of the 1971 war, this book is a collection of real spy stories which will entertain and inspire at the same time.
