In this book an attempt has been made to compare the two legendary writers by comparing the eastern way of thinking with the western way.
Shakespeare is amongst the writers Sri Aurobindo holds in high esteem. Sri Aurobindo’s admiration for the great dramatist resulted in obvious Shakespearean influences on him. He adopts for his plays Elizabethan model of drama perfected by Shakespeare’s genius. Shakespeare’s influence is traceable also in Sri Aurobindo’s sonnets.
It is said that Sri Aurobindo had Shakespearean literature on his bed-side when he left his mortal remains. Both the great writers were not satisfied by merely holding mirror to the nature but due to their greater and deeper life power, they recreated the human life in its beauty and completeness. Therefore, there is an obvious need to compare and contrast Shakeapeare and Sri Aurobindo so as to bring out affinities that may be there between their creative ideal and vision as well as their poetic and dramatic art, along with the former’s influence on the later.
In this book an attempt has been made to fulfill the need and to contribute, in some measure to the appreciation of Sri Aurobindo’s poetry and plays. It also briefly touches upon Indian response to Shakespeare. It focuses mainly on Sri Aurobindo’s numerous insights and critical observations on him. To sum up writings of the two such outstanding writers, who represent two very different ways of thinking. On one hand Shakespeare potrays lot of blood shed, gory tales and a wild kind of poetic justice in his writings, but on the other hand Sri Aurobindo truely follows Indian ethos of non violence or ‘Ahimsa’.
The author underlines the stark similarities and differences in both the writer’s exploring their plays and sonnets. The structure of plays and sonnets may be same of both the greatest minds but ethos and personna ingrained in their writings is quite different.

- Description: This book on mobile journalism stitches together a tapestry of knowledge that will enable academics, students and the common people to have a deep and sound understanding about MoJo. Mobile journalism has seen an exponential growth in the recent years, with a large number of people taking to MoJo in their effort to tell stories. The mobile phone has practically revolutionized the way journalism was being pursued and significantly opened up the field of mass communication. The journey of the mobile phone from just being an instrument for making and receiving calls to today being the harbinger of change has been dramatic and perhaps, without any parallel. It is a fine example of the impact that technology has on everyday life of the ordinary people. A key aspect of this phenomenal growth has been the rapid advances in the technology that is now rolled into the mobile phone. Right from shooting high- quality images and videos to the software that can process those files to mind-boggling storage to handling a wide variety of activities, necessary for storytelling are now a part and parcel of mobile phones. Intrepid journalists as well as common people are now able to do a number of tasks for which they were earlier dependent on desktops and laptops. To generate and share stories on the move is an important differentiator.

- Description: पंडित विद्यानिवास मिश्र के साहित्य का बहुआयामी विस्तार मुख्यत: निबन्ध-विधा में ही फलीभूत हुआ है। इस विधा में जितना काम उन्होंने किया है और इस विधा से जितना बड़ा काम उन्होंने लिया है, उतना हिन्दी में शायद ही किसी और से सम्भव हुआ हो। देश-दुनिया, सभ्यता-समाज, धर्म-संस्कृति, इतिहास, राजनीति, भाषाशास्त्र, साहित्यशास्त्र, कला समेत सभी कुछ को उन्होंने निबन्ध में समेटा है। एक लेखक के रूप में उन्होंने अपनी निष्ठा सदैव पाठक के प्रति रखी। वह पाठक जिसे उन्होंने बल-विद्या-बुद्धि किसी भी मामले में अपने से घटकर नहीं माना। उनका पाठक उन्हीं की तरह उनके गाँव-घर का है, और अपनी व्याप्ति में पूरे संसार का। उनके निबन्धों में जो व्यक्तित्व व्यंजित हुआ है, वह जितना अपना है, उतना ही उनके पाठक का भी। एक नितान्त गँवई व्यक्तित्व जिसके लिए जीव-जन्तु, नदी, पेड़, पहाड़ ऋतु का भी अपना व्यक्तित्व है। विद्या बोझ न बन जाए, इसके प्रति उनकी प्रतिश्रुति इतनी प्रबल है कि समीक्षा, साहित्येतिहास और काव्यशास्त्र आदि क्षेत्रों में अत्यन्त महत्त्वपूर्ण कार्यों के बावजूद उन्होंने आग्रहपूर्वक अपनी पहचान साहित्य के एक विद्यार्थी की ही बनाए रखी। सच तो यह है कि साहित्य में सैद्धान्तिक ही नहीं, व्यावहारिक स्तर पर भी ‘सहृदय’ को, ‘सामाजिक’ को, ‘सहृदय सामाजिक’ को जो सम्मान पं. विद्यानिवास मिश्र ने, उनके साहित्य-कर्म ने दिया, वह अभूतपूर्व है। उनके समग्र रचना-कर्म से इस संचयन में निबन्धों के अलावा उनके रचना-संसार के अल्पज्ञात और अज्ञात कोने-अँतरों का प्रतिनिधित्व करने का प्रयास भी किया गया है। पाठक यहाँ कविता, काव्यान्तर, ध्वनि-रूपक, व्यंग्य-बन्ध, साक्षात्कार, संवाद, व्याख्या, अनुवाद और उनके पत्र-व्यवहार की भी झलक पा सकेंगे। साथ ही विद्वान सम्पादकगण के अथक परिश्रम से यह भी सम्भव हुआ है कि पंडित जी की विराट निबन्ध-सम्पदा का हर रंग, हर रूप इसमें मुखर हो सके।

A Soldier's Dilemma
- Author Name:
Brig. Baqir Shameem
- Book Type:

- Description: Very few English novels are available about the North East, written especially by those who are from other regions of India. Why? Is it that this part of the country does not attract the thoughts and minds of the readers? It is indeed a sad commentary that so far not many of us have attempted to gain insight into the lives and living of our brethren who are our own countrymen. My humble effort in 'A Soldier's Dilemma' has been to narrate a story in which a lady soldier, the main protagonist is in search of her father, a scientist. Right from her childhood the girl has been empowered by her parents to meet and face challenges with aplomb and fortitude. Will she succeed now? It is a racy, suspenseful novel filled with action and intrigue. All the events take place in Nagaland with the brave men and women of this beautiful and refreshingly touching region actively participating in them. Having had the opportunity to serve in almost all remote regions in the country, my two year stint in Nagaland convinced me that they do require far more of our attention with affection.

Richa
This book attempts to compare the two illustrious authors by contrasting eastern and western modes of thought. An effort has been made in this book to meet a need and, in a small way, advance understanding of Sri Aurobindo's plays and poems. It also briefly mentions how Shakespeare's plays were received in India. It largely focuses on Sri Aurobindo's multiple discoveries and insightful criticisms of him. To summarise the works of these two exceptional writers, who reflect two very distinct worldviews. The author highlights the striking parallels and contrasts between the two writers' explorations of their plays and sonnets. The two greatest brains may have used the same structures in their plays and sonnets, but their compositions reflect very distinct attitudes and personalities. Talking about the quality of the book and services provided by Rachnaye, I must say it's the best platform to get original copies of the books and not the pirated ones which we usually come across various other platforms/applications.
