Vivekanand Ek Khoj
- Author Name:
Shankar
- Book Type:

- Description:
स्वामी विवेकानंद आध्यात्मिक जगत् के ऐसे जाज्वल्यमान नक्षत्र हैं, जिन्होंने अपनी आभा से भारत ही नहीं, संपूर्ण विश्व को प्रकाशमान किया। वे मात्र संत-स्वामी ही नहीं थे, एक महान् देशभक्त, ओजस्वी वक्ता, अद्वितीय विचारक, लेखक और दरिद्र-नारायण के अनन्य सेवक थे। प्रसिद्ध लेखक रोम्याँ रोलाँ ने उनके बारे में कहा था—''उनके द्वितीय होने की कल्पना करना भी असंभव है। वे जहाँ भी गए, प्रथम रहे। हर कोई उनमें अपने नेता का दिग्दर्शन करता। वे ईश्वर के सच्चे प्रतिनिधि थे। सबको अपना बना लेना ही उनकी विशिष्टता थी।’ स्वामीजी ने मानवमात्र का आह्वन किया—''उठो, जागो, स्वयं जागकर औरों को जगाओ। अपने नर-जन्म को सफल करो और तब तक रुको नहीं, जब तक लक्ष्य प्राप्त न हो जाए।’ उनतालीस वर्ष के छोटे से जीवनकाल में स्वामी विवेकानंद जो काम कर गए, आनेवाली शताब्दियों तक वे मानव-पीढिय़ों का मार्गदर्शन करते रहेंगे। स्वामी विवेकानंद का चरित्र ऐसा है, जिससे प्रेरणा पाकर अनगिनत लोगों ने जीवन का सुपथ प्राप्त किया। भारतीय संस्कृति के उद्घोषक एवं मानवता के महान् पोषक स्वामी विवेकानंद और उनके जीवन-दर्शन को गहराई से जानने-समझने में सहायक क्रांतिकारी पुस्तक।

- Description:
सुखी और दुखी, सहयोगी और विरोधी, उत्कर्ष और पतन, आदर्श और व्यवहार, व्यावसायिक और मानवीय—बहुविध मानव चरित्रों की कथा है यह उपन्यास ‘चौरंगी’। शाहजहाँ होटल के माध्यम से लेखक केवल कलकत्ता का चित्र नहीं, बल्कि सम्पूर्ण मानव व्यवहार का चित्र प्रस्तुत करता है। इस उपन्यास में इतने अधिक विविधरंगी चरित्र हैं कि इसे सहज ही मानव जीवन की महागाथा कहा जा सकता है पर महागाथाओं की तरह इसमें कोई महानायक नहीं है, इसीलिए यह उपन्यास कोई आदर्श भी नहीं रचता। यह केवल परत-दर-परत मानवीय व्यवहार के विभिन्न पहलुओं को खोलता चलता है। यही वजह है कि कई बार एक ही व्यक्ति के चरित्र के दो रूप उभरकर सामने आते हैं। महानगरीय जीवन की महत्त्वाकांक्षाओं के बीच किस तरह से इच्छाएँ और सम्बन्ध दम तोड़ जाते हैं, यह इसमें बख़ूबी देखा जा सकता है। परन्तु कभी भी सब कुछ नहीं टूटता, कभी भी सब कुछ नष्ट नहीं होता। नष्ट होने के बीच बहुत कुछ ऐसा बचा रहता है जो नए निर्माण की आशा को जीवित रखता है। बहुरंगी चरित्रों की इस महागाथा को बाँधे रखनेवाला एकमात्र सूत्र है, सहज मानवीय स्नेह। शाहजहाँ होटल में काम करते हुए नायक को सबसे अधिक ऐश्वर्य जो मिला वह था साथ काम करनेवालों का स्नेह। और यही स्नेह सब कुछ नष्ट हो जाने के बीच भी निर्माण की आशा को बरकरार रखता है।

Indian Short Stories 1900 To 2000
- Author Name:
E. V. Ramakrishnan
- Book Type:

- Description:
This collection of 43 stories from 21 languages highlights India's diverse and intricate life. They depict everything from the chaos and mass hysteria of partition to the suppressed anger and self-pity of people trapped in broken homes. These narratives explore both outer experiences and internal struggles within Indian society. The stories emphasise the sacred and the profane, as well as the voices of the elite and the marginalised, serving as mirrors for self-reflection. Together, these tales trace a transformative century during which India emerged as a unified nation. The vivid imagery from the tumultuous 20th century is both disturbing and enlightening.

- Description:
कथाकार शंकर के 'सैल्यूट' कहानी-संग्रह की रचनाएँ मध्यवर्ग की संवेदनहीनता और वैचारिक संकट के दस्तावेज की तरह हैं। जिस दौर में मानव सभ्यता बाजार सभ्यता में बदल गई हो, सामान्य मनुष्य किस तरह इसकी हिंस्रता और विसंगतियों का सामना करता है, साथ ही अपने अधिकारों के प्रति जागरूक रहता है, इसके अनोखे वृत्तांत शंकर की कहानियों में है। अपनी लंबी कथा-यात्रा में प्रगतीशील सरोकारों से सदा प्रतिबद्ध रहने वाले कथाकार ने इस संग्रह की कहानियों में छोटी-छोटी घटनाओं के भीतर से जीवन के यथार्थों को बड़ी रोचकता से उद्घाटित किया है। एक सहज और बांध लेने वाली भाषा, किसी फार्मूले में बंधे बिना, इन कहानियों को जितनी प्रहारात्मक बनाती है, उतनी ही पारदर्शी भी। कहानी विधा जिस दौर में एक खास किस्म के संकट से गुजर रही है और कई कथाकारों ने इस विधा को लगभग त्याग दिया है, वरिष्ठ कथाकार शंकर में एक निरंतरता बनी रही है। इनकी कहानियों में छोटे कैनवास पर भी जीवन के छूट गए कई बड़े पहलू उभरते हैं। इनमें संकट के पार देखने के गुण हैं, जो एक गहरे 'विजन' की वजह से हैं। कहानी सबसे पहले कहानी की तरह हो और यह अंतत: एक आवाज बने, इस संग्रह की कहानियों में यह दुर्लभ चीज मौजूद है। —शंभुनाथ वरिष्ठ आलोचक, संपादक 'वागर्थ'
