"इस पुस्तक पर कुछ सम्मतियाँ: ‘‘मेरे लिए इतना कहना काफी है कि मेरे परिवेश से अलग परिवेश में जीने वाली औरत सोने के जेवर गढ़वाने की जगह शब्दों के मोती जड़ने में व्यस्त है। उस मोती के सच्चे-झूठे होने और साहित्य के मानक पर कसने का काम आने वाला समय करेगा।’’ - नासिरा शर्मा, वरिष्ठ लेखिका ‘‘कुसुम अंसल की आत्मकथा का शीर्षक हिन्दी साहित्य में स्त्री आत्मकथा का प्रवेशद्वार है, इससे पहले हिन्दी में किसी महिला रचनाकार की आत्मकथा नहीं आई थी। इस विधा में लेखन की शुरुआत का श्रेय कुसुम अंसल को है। आत्मकथाकार ने अपने रचनात्मक विस्तार में जिस निजत्व को परार्थ नहीं खोला था अब तक वह अनकहा आत्मकथा द्वारा अनावृत हो रहा है।’’ - डा. दया दीक्षित, वाङ्मय ‘‘जो कहा नहीं गया’ एक विशेष प्रकार की विनम्रता समूची आत्मकथा में सुगंध की तरह बसी हुई है। समूची आत्मकथा में कल्पना का असत्य जैसा कुछ नहीं है यही इसका शुक्लपक्ष है। इसमें लेखिका ने पाठक को अपने सत्य से साक्षात्कार कराने की विनम्र कोशिश तो की है, अपना खुद का निष्कर्ष तय करने की स्वतंत्रता भी दी है।’’ - श्रीराम दवे, कार्यकारी संपादक समावर्तन"

DESCRIPTION:
Mahamanav Shri Krishna - A number of texts presenting the biography, green, character and epic of Shri krishna in many languages of the world have been written for many centuries and will continue to be written. In the last fifty years, many able and famous writers of Gujarat have started writing biographies depicting Krishna's life in a modern context. Unfortunately, instead of introducing or interpreting the ancient traditions of Krishna's life in these biographies, these Shabda swamis have blown up balloons of their own imagination. Has added fictional occasions, characters and dialogues that are not in the ancient tradition. One such character writer has made Krishna Madari to explain the occasion of Kaliyadaman. Whatever the literary value of such additions, it is true that such representations are corrupting the ancient traditions instead of making them clear. A humble attempt has been made here to collect the fragments of the scattered tradition in the scriptures of a thousand years ago and present them in an integrated form and to capture the image of the human form of Lord Krishna, the supreme devotee of the Hindus.

Martyrdom, Murder and the Lure of ISIS
on January 21, 2015, a pro-ISIS Twitter account reported that John Maguire, a 23-year-old university drop-out from the Ottawa Valley town of Kempt Ville, had been killed fighting Kurds in the Syrian city of Kobani. A few weeks before, Maguire had starred in a YouTube video threatening Canada for bombing ISIS forces in Iraq. He is one of several young people from the West who have chosen to fight in a vicious conflict that really had little to do with them.
Why do young people choose to fight in other people’s wars, especially one as bloody and cruel as this one? Why has ISIS become so good at attracting foreign fighters?
This book examines the lure of this radical Islamist movement: its religious beliefs, sophisticated propaganda and vast social media networks. ISIS is now a go-to cause for alienated young people in the Islamic World and the West. Does it offer answers to troubled young people? Are ISIS’s crimes – slavery, murder, rape, repression and the destruction of heritage sites – an attraction in and of themselves? What do we do about the people who take up ISIS’s cause but stay in their home country? What do we do with the ISIS recruits who come home?
The Killing Game examines what draws young men and women to join violent social/political movements. It looks at the psychology of young men and women today and the propaganda used by all sides in the Middle East conflicts, as well as the security laws and the political initiatives that have been designed to stop people from being radicalized.
Mark Bourrie is quickly emerging as the country’s leading expert and author on propaganda and censorship. He is also an award-winning writer and a respected military historian with a PhD in history. A National Magazine Award–winning journalist. Bourrie lectures on propaganda and censorship and periodically teaches courses on media history, censorship and propaganda.

Celebrating Karl Marx’s 200th Birth Anniversary
The Communist Manifesto has been recognized as one of the world’s most influential political manuscripts. Commissioned by the Communist League, it laid out the League’s purposes and program. It presents an analytical approach to the class struggle (historical and present) and the problems of capitalism, rather than a prediction of communism’s potential future forms. The book contains Marx and Engels’ theories about the nature of society and politics, that in their own words, “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.” It also briefly features their ideas for how the capitalist society of the time would eventually be replaced by socialism and then eventually communism. Born in Westphalia in 1820, Friedrich Engels was the son of a textile manufacturer. After military training in Berlin and already a convert to communism, Engels went to Manchester in 1842 to represent the family firm. A relationship with a mill-hand, Mary Bums and friendship with local Owenites and Chartists helped to inspire his famous early work, The Condition of the Working Class in England in 1844.

DESCRIPTION:
Anyone who wishes to understand what has happened in India in the twentieth century politically and culturally must read Nirad C. Chaudhuri. Among her men of letters he is unique, for the fertility of his mind and the polymathic range of his interests, as well as for the lucidity of his prose and his sheer integrity. Geoffrey Moor house (Chaudhuri) has spent a lifetime kicking against the myths and shibboleths held by the majority of his fellow countrymen, he has ridiculed the pacifism of Mahatma Gandhi. He has castigated Indian nationalism for being corrupt, self-seeking and destructive, (he has) vented his spleen at the stupidity and philistinism of the British in India. His latest (book) is almost a thousand pages long. It testifies to (his) eloquence, wit and intellectual brilliance that he can go on at such length without once becoming a bore. - Ian Buruma, the New York Review of Books.

DESCRIPTION:
Written by a self-confessed Anglophile, Autobiography of An Unknown Indian is a witty and endearing account of Nirad C. Chaudhuri's life. The book delves into the mind of the author as he takes his readers down memory lane to a pre-independence India. Written in a sarcastic manner that takes potshots at both Indian as well as British cultures, this book is one of the early works of Indian literature written in English.
The book offers an authentic peek into the way India functioned during the last days of British rule. It draws various incidents from the author's life and lets us understand his views on life gained from his different experiences. Born into an educated Bengali household, the author led a life where the majority of his influences were from the western part of the world.
The book starts off with a dedication to the British rule meant in a witty and sarcastic way. However, since the book was published post independence, when nationalist sentiments were at an all-time high, his dedication was misinterpreted and led to a personal ordeal. While his book was praised unanimously in the West, he was awarded with criticism back in India.
Autobiography of An Unknown Indian is the memoir of an ordinary Indian who was well-educated in the British way of life. The first edition of this book was published by Jaico Publishing House in 1964. It is available in paperback format.
Key Features
Self-written account of a Bengali-English writer who was also a cultural commentator.
Gives an authentic overview into the quality of a Bengali-Indian's life during the pre-independence era.
Written by an educated person who was adept in the British ways of living.

DESCRIPTION:
First published in Vienna in 1935, Hitler's Lies by Irene Harand is a challenge to the arguments, assumptions and actions of the German dictator, Adolf Hitler. The original German language version of the book was called Sein Kampf -Antwort an Hitler von Irene Harand (His Struggle -The Answer to Hitler from Irene Harand). In this book Harand explodes the myth of racial and national superiority. She deals with lies about the Jews which formed the basis for Hitler's propaganda and attacks the persecution of the Jews on the ground that Anti-Semitism debases Christianity. In her own words: The ruthless force of the Nazis has been directed against the Jewish and Catholic minorities. Their main attack, however, has been launched against German Jewry, which has had to bear unspeakable torture and humiliation in the Third Reich. They foster and unleash hatred against the Jews and commit wholesale murder to maintain a power they have wrested from others. It, therefore, lies in the interest of truth to make public answer to the Nazi Bible, Mein Kampf, (Hitler's autobiography) and to ascertain whether the main doctrines of this book, upon which the Nazi political state is founded, can bear critical examination before the civilized world. As the first publishers of Mein Kampf in India, Jaico is proud to revive Harand's work, which was largely forgotten since the 1950's in both her native Austria and her new home land America.

Edited by Maureen Harrison and Steve Gilbert
For someone who claimed he had been educated by “littles” – a little now and a little then – Abraham Lincoln displayed a remarkable facility in his use of the written word.
In the simple yet memorable eloquence of The Greatest Speeches of Abraham Lincoln, proclamations and personal correspondence are recorded in a representative collection of 22 documents.
This volume contains, complete and unabridged, the Address Before the Young Men’s Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois (1838), which emphasized a theme Lincoln was to return to repeatedly, namely, the capacity of a people to govern themselves; the First Inaugural Address (1861), in which he appealed to the people of an already divided union for sectional harmony; the Letter to Mrs Bixby (1864), expressing Lincoln’s regrets over the wartime deaths of her five sons and many more.
An invaluable reference for history students, this important volume will also fascinate admirers of Abraham Lincoln, Americana enthusiasts, Civil War buffs and any lover of the finely crafted phrase.
