Author:-Arundhati Roy

Cost:-₹450

Summary

The God of Small Things is a family drama novel written by Indian writer Arundhati Roy. It is a story about the childhood experiences of twins whose lives are destroyed by the "Love Laws" prevalent in 1960s Kerala, India. The novel explores how small, seemingly insignificant occurrences, decisions and experiences shape people's behavior in deeply significant ways

The story is set in Ayemenem, Kerala, with a disjointed narrative shifting between 1969 and 1993. Rahel and Estha, fraternal twins, reunite in 1993. Ammu Ipe, their mother, marries Baba to escape her father and returns to Ayemenem after leaving her abusive husband. Chacko, Ammu's brother, returns from England after his divorce. The family home includes Baby Kochamma, Pappachi's sister, who remained unmarried due to unrequited love. She manipulates events to cause misfortune.

The death of Margaret's second husband in a car accident prompts Chacko to invite her and their daughter, Sophie, to spend Christmas in Ayemenem. On the road to the airport, the family encounters a group of Communist protesters who surround the car and humiliate Baby Kochamma. Rahel thinks she sees amongst the protesters Velutha, an Untouchable servant who works for the family's pickle factory. Later at the theater, Estha is sexually molested by the a vendor working at the snack counter. Rahel's claim of seeing Velutha in the Communist mob leads Baby Kochamma to associate him with her humiliation. Rahel and Estha develop a bond with Velutha, while Ammu is drawn to him. Velutha is depicted as sympathetic but faces tragedy due to his caste and relationship with Ammu. When Velutha's father exposes their affair, Ammu is locked up, and Velutha is banished. Ammu blames the twins for her plight, leading them to flee with their cousin Sophie. Their boat capsizes and Sophie drowns, Margaret and Chacko return to find Sophie dead on the sofa.

Baby Kochamma accuses Velutha of Sophie's death, leading to his brutal beating and arrest by the police. The twins witness this traumatic event. The chief of police, aware of Velutha's Communist ties, fears unrest if the wrongful arrest is exposed. He threatens Baby Kochamma for falsely accusing Velutha. To save herself, Baby Kochamma manipulates Estha and Rahel into implicating Velutha in Sophie's murder. Velutha dies from his injuries. Despite Ammu's attempts to tell the truth, Baby Kochamma convinces Chacko that Ammu and the twins are responsible for Sophie's death. Chacko ejects Ammu from the house, separating Estha from her forever. Ammu dies alone in a motel at 31. Rahel moves to America for university but returns to Ayemenem after a confused life. She reunites with Estha, who has lived a solitary, mute existence with Baby Kochamma. Despite their reunion, their lives remain sorrowful. The novel concludes with a reflection on Ammu and Velutha's love affair.

Summary

Harry is about to turn seventeen and will lose his mother's magical protection. Order of the Phoenix members relocate the Dursleys for their protection. Harry is being flown to The Burrow, with friends and allies acting as identical decoys but Death Eaters immediately attacked them.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione prepare to hunt down Voldemort's four remaining Horcruxes. Each is rewarded an object from Dumbledore: a Golden Snitch for Harry, a Deluminator for Ron, and The Tales of Beedle the Bard, for Hermione. Death Eaters attack during Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour's wedding reception while the Ministry of Magic falls to Voldemort. The trio flee to 12 Grimmauld Place, Sirius Black's family home that was left to Harry.

They discover that Sirius's late brother, Regulus, was the mysterious one who stole the Horcrux locket but died in the process. His house-elf Kreacher was unable to destroy the locket, which was later stolen by Mundungus Fletcher. Kreacher locates Fletcher, who says the locket was taken by Ministry official Dolores Umbridge. Infiltrating the Ministry, the trio steal the locket from Umbridge. They flee to the forest and are unable to destroy the locket and have no further leads. The locket's dark nature affects Ron, who abandons the group. Harry and Hermione learn about Dumbledore's past with dark wizard, Gellert Grindelwald. They travel to Godric's Hollow, Harry's birthplace. There they are attacked by Voldemort's snake. They successfully escaped but Harry's wand was badly damaged. One night, a doe Patronus guides Harry to a pond containing the Sword of Godric Gryffindor. When Harry tries to recover it, the locket tightens around his neck, nearly killing him. Ron, guided back by the Deluminator, saves him and destroys the locket Horcrux with the sword.

In Dumbledore's book, Hermione identifies a symbol also worn by Luna's father Xenophilius Lovegood. He tells them of the mythical Deathly Hallows, the Elder Wand, an unbeatable wand, the Resurrection Stone, which can summon the dead; and an Invisibility Cloak. Xenophilius fails to say that Luna is being held captive. He summons Death Eaters to capture the trio in exchange for his daughter's freedom, but they escape. They speculate that Dumbledore won the Elder Wand by defeating Grindelwald. Harry's Invisibility Cloak is the third Hallow, and his Snitch contains the Resurrection Stone.

The trio are captured and taken to Malfoy Manor. Bellatrix tortures Hermione, believing they stole Gryffindor's sword from her Gringotts vault. With the help from Dobby the house-elf, they escaped to Bill and Fleur's seaside cottage, along with fellow prisoners, including Luna, Mr Ollivander, and the goblin Griphook. During the escape, Bellatrix fatally wounds Dobby, and Harry hand-digs the house-elf's grave. Harry has a vision of Voldemort stealing the Elder Wand from Dumbledore's tomb. The trio break into Bellatrix's vault, believing another Horcrux is there. With Griphook's help, they break in, retrieve Hufflepuff's cup, and escaped though Griphook steals Gryffindor's sword in the process. Harry has another vision that Voldemort has been informed of the heist and decides to check his Horcruxes. Harry sees that the snake of Veldormort was a Horcrux, and another is hidden at Hogwarts.

Dumbledore's brother, Aberforth, helps the trio enter Hogwarts. Voldemort, alerted to Harry's whereabouts. The teachers and students mobilize to defend the school. Ron and Hermione destroy Hufflepuff's cup with basilisk fangs from the Chamber of Secrets. Harry discovers Ravenclaw's diadem is the Horcrux hidden there. The trio find it in the Room of Requirement but Draco, Crabbe and Goyle ambush them. Crabbe attacks with fiendfyre, but is unable to control it, the cursed fire kills him and destroys the diadem. Meanwhile, many allies die during Voldemort's assault, including Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, and Fred Weasley.

The Elder Wand resists Voldemort's commands. Believing that Snape, having killed Dumbledore, is its true master, he ordered his snake to attack Snape just as Harry arrives. Mortally wounded, Snape passes his memories to Harry. Harry views them in the Pensieve. The memories reveal that Snape loved Harry's mother and acted as a double agent against Voldemort in an attempt to protect her. He watched over the trio, influenced by his love for Lily, who also had a doe Patronus. Dumbledore was dying after mishandling the ring Horcrux and had planned his "murder" at Snape's hands. Harry also learns that he is an unintentional Horcrux, unbeknownst to Voldemort, and must die to render Voldemort mortal. Before surrendering himself, Harry instructs Neville Longbottom to kill the snake. On the way, he uses the Resurrection Stone to reunite with his parents and other deceased loved ones. He drops the stone as he meets Voldemort, who casts the Killing Curse on him.

Harry awakens in a dreamlike location resembling King's Cross, where he is greeted by Dumbledore. Dumbledore explains that Voldemort's original Killing Curse left a soul fragment in Harry, causing their connection. The latest Killing Curse destroyed that soul fragment, allowing Harry to return to life or to "go on". Harry returns to life. Voldemort calls for a truce at Hogwarts and demands their surrender. Neville, however, pulls Gryffindor's sword from the Sorting Hat and kills the snake.

The battle resumes, with Molly Weasley killing Bellatrix. Harry reveals himself to Voldemort and engages him in a final battle. He explains the Elder Wand's loyalty transfers upon the defeat, not the killing of its former master. Draco, not Snape, had been the Elder Wand's master, having disarmed Dumbledore before Snape killed him. Having disarmed Draco at Malfoy Manor, Harry now commands the Elder Wand. Voldemort casts the Killing Curse at Harry, but the spell rebounds, killing Voldemort. Before returning the Elder Wand to Dumbledore's tomb, Harry uses it to repair his old wand. He keeps his Invisibility Cloak and leaves the Resurrection Stone lost in the forest. Nineteen years later, the trio sent their children off to Hogwarts. Harry and Ginny have three children: James Sirius, Albus Severus, and Lily Luna. Ron and Hermione have two children. Albus is departing for his first year worried he will be sorted into Slytherin. Harry reassured him, recounting Snape's bravery, and revealing the Sorting Hat could account for his wishes. As his scar has not hurt in nineteen years, the narrator concludes that "all was well".

Harry Potter accompanies Albus Dumbledore to persuade former Potions to return to Hogwarts. Then, at the Burrow, Harry reunites with his best friends Ron and Hermione. In Diagon Alley, they see Draco and Narcissa Malfoy, and follow them into Knockturn Alley. The pair meet with Death Eaters, including the werewolf. Harry believes Draco is now a Death Eater. On the Hogwarts Express, Harry sneaks into the Slytherin carriage wearing his Invisibility Cloak to spy on Malfoy. Malfoy notices and scares Harry, leaving him on the train. Luna finds him and counters Draco's spell. Harry discovers that his used Potions textbook is filled with helpful notes and spells added by the "Half-Blood Prince".

Harry spends the Christmas holidays with the Weasleys. His suspicions about Draco are dismissed by the Order, but Arthur Weasley reveals that the Malfoys may be interested in a Vanishing cabinet. Bellatrix and Greyback attack and destroy the Burrow.

At Hogwarts, Dumbledore asks Harry to retrieve Slughorn's memory of a young Voldemort. Slughorn has resisted giving an accurate memory. After Ron accidentally ingests a love potion intended for Harry, Harry takes him to Slughorn for a cure. Ron is poisoned upon sipping it, and Harry's quick thinking saves him. While recovering in the infirmary, Ron murmurs Hermione's name, causing Lavender to end their relationship. Harry confronts Draco about the poisoned mead and also a cursed necklace that nearly killed Katie Bell. A duel erupts, and Harry uses one of the Half-Blood Prince's curses without knowing what it is. The curse severely injures Malfoy, and he is only saved by Snape's timely arrival and reversal of the curse.

Dumbledore surmises Voldemort divided his soul into six Horcruxes, two of which have been destroyed: Tom Riddle's diary and Marvolo Gaunt's ring. They travel to a cave where Harry aids Dumbledore in drinking a potion that hides another Horcrux, Slytherin's locket.

A weakened Dumbledore defends them by creating a ring of fire, and takes them back to Hogwarts, where Bellatrix, Greyback, and other Death Eaters have entered through the Vanishing Cabinet in the Room of Requirement that Draco has secretly connected to one in Knockturn Alley. As Harry hides, Draco appears and disarms the headmaster, revealing Voldemort chose him to kill Dumbledore. Draco hesitates, Snape, however, arrives and kills Dumbledore. As the Death Eaters escape, Snape reveals to Harry that he is the Half-Blood Prince.

As Hogwarts students and staff mourn Dumbledore's death, Harry tells Ron and Hermione that the locket is fake and contains a message from the one who stole the real Horcrux intending to destroy it. Harry, Ron and Hermione agree to forget their final Hogwarts year to hunt for the remaining Horcruxes.

Summary

While staying at the Dursley's house Harry Potter and Dudley are attacked by Dementors. Harry repels them using a Patronus spell. The Ministry of Magic detectes Harry using magic and expels him from Hogwarts

The Order of the Phoenix, a secret organisation founded by Albus Dumbledore. Harry's godfather, Sirius Black, mentions that Voldemort is searching an object for his need. Harry believes it to be a weapon.

Minister for Magic has appointed Dolores Umbridge as Hogwarts new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. Umbridge refuses to teach defensive spells at Hogwarts. As Umbridge gains more control over the school, Ron and Hermione help Harry form "Dumbledore's Army", a secret group to teach students defensive spells. Umbridge recruits Slytherins as a Squad to spy on the other students. Meanwhile, Harry and Cho Chang develop feelings for each other. Concerned that Voldemort will exploit Harry, Dumbledore asked Severus Snape to teach Harry Occlumency to defend his mind from Voldemort's influence. During a lesson, Harry sees Snape's memories of how his father, James, bullied and tortured Snape in school. The connection between Harry and Voldemort further isolates Harry from his friends. At Hogwarts, Umbridge and her Squad expose Dumbledore's Army. Dumbledore was falsely accused for forming it. Harry believed that Cho betrayed Dumbledore's Army to Umbridge, ending their budding relationship. Umbridge becomes the new Headmistress.

Harry experiences a vision that Voldemort is torturing Sirius. Harry, Ron, and Hermione rush to Umbridge's office to alert the Order but Umbridge catches them and as she is about to severely punish Harry, Hermione claims Dumbledore has hidden a "secret weapon" in the Forbidden Forest. She and Harry lead Umbridge to where Hagrid's giant half-brother, Grawp was kept. The centaurs attacked them and kidnapped Umbridge after she insults and attacks them. Harry, Hermione, Ron, Luna, Neville and Ginny fly to the Ministry of Magic on Thestrals to save Sirius.

The six enter the Department of Mysteries and discovered the object that Voldemort is after, a bottled prophecy labelled with Harry's name. Lucius reveals that Harry's vision of Sirius being tortured was a way to bring him there. Harry refuses to give Lucius the prophecy, and a fight between Dumbledore's Army and the Death Eaters began. The Death Eaters overpower the students and force Harry to surrender the prophecy. When Harry hands it to Lucius, Sirius and Remus Lupin arrive with Order members. As they attack the Death Eaters, Lucius accidentally drops the prophecy, destroying it. Just as Sirius overpowers Lucius, Bellatrix kills Sirius.

Voldemort appears, but moments before he can kill Harry, Dumbledore arrives. The two wizards are evenly matched, so Voldemort possesses Harry's body, wanting Dumbledore to sacrifice him. The love Harry feels for his friends and family quickly drives out Voldemort. Ministry officials arrived there before Voldemort disappeared. Fudge admits that Voldemort has returned and resigns in disgrace. Umbridge is dismissed and Dumbledore returns as Hogwarts headmaster. Dumbledore explains he had distanced himself from Harry to prevent Voldemort exploiting their connection. He also reveals the prophecy. As he grieves Sirius's death, Harry tries coming to terms with the prophecy: "Neither can live while the other survives."

Summary

Harry had a nightmare in which two people were killed by Lord Voldemort.The following morning, Harry attends the Quidditch World Cup with the Weasleys, Hermione Granger, Cedric Diggory and his father Amos.

At Hogwarts, Professor Dumbledore announces that the school will host the Triwizard Tournament along with the Durmstrang Institute from central Europe and the Beauxbatons Academy from France. One student from each school is to be selected by the Goblet of Fire to participate. Students below the age of seventeen are ineligible. The Goblet selects Fleur Delacour for Beauxbatons, Viktor Krum for Durmstrang, and Cedric for Hogwarts. It then selects Harry as a fourth Champion, causing much confusion. Many students believe Harry cheated. Harry was forced to compete because of a magical binding contract when a Champion's name was selected.

For the first task, the Champions must collect an egg by getting past a dragon. All four Champions collected their eggs successfully. On Christmas Eve, the school hosts the Yule Ball – Harry and Ron are unable to go with their desired dates, and go with Parvati and Padma Patil respectively. Hermione goes with Viktor, provoking Ron's jealousy. Cedric advises Harry to use the Prefects' bathroom take a bath and put the egg in the water.

For the second task, the Champions must rescue somebody of value to them from the Black Lake. Harry has to save Ron. Cedric comes in first, and Harry is awarded second place after he saves not only Ron but also Gabrielle after Fleur has withdrawn from the task.

Harry later finds the lifeless body in the Forbidden Forest.

For the third task, the Champions must navigate a maze to reach the Triwizard Cup. Harry and Cedric reach the Cup only to discover it is a Portkey that transports them to a graveyard from Harry's dream. Pettigrew kills Cedric on Voldemort's orders. He then uses Harry's blood to resurrect Voldemort, who summons his Death Eaters. Voldemort attempts to use the Killing Curse on Harry but the latter deflects it. The ghosts of Voldemort's previous victims appear, distracting Voldemort long enough for Harry to use the Cup to return to Hogwarts with Cedric's body.

Harry informs Dumbledore of Cedric's murder and Voldemort's return. Harry is escorted by the new dark arts teacher to his office where he learns that he is the one who had put his name into the Goblet and was guiding him to ensure the return of Voldemort. Just as he was about to kill Harry, Dumbledore, Snape and Minerva McGonagall attacks him and rescues the real dark arts teacher and Harry.

At the end of term feast, Dumbledore announces that Cedric was murdered by Voldemort, although the Ministry denies these claims. Harry informs Dumbledore of his encounter with Voldemort . The three schools bid farewell to one another with Harry, Ron and Hermione agreeing that everything is going to change.

Book: Mystery of the ghost

Author: Bobbi Holmes

In the book all characters have a lot of plot-holes and no sense of personality. The main characyer is not somebody you can relate to. The introduction of new character do not add to anything. Every chapter begins as a monologue and ends in a revelation that only molly is able to achieve every literally every chapter hqs the same pattern as if they were written every new day. The motive for murder does not stir you to justify it is just so childish and unneecessary.

Book: The Girl on the Train

Author : Paula Hawkins

The Girl on the Train moves between three point-of-view narrators: Rachel Watson, Megan Hipwell, and Anna Watson. Rachel’s narration begins in 2013 as she commutes on the train into London from the suburbs. Despite having lost her job in public relations due to her alcohol use disorder, Rachel continues to take the trains she used to ride and fantasizes about the neighbors of her ex-husband, Tom Watson. Tom, his new wife (Anna), and their baby live near Megan and Scott Hipwell. After fantasizing about their happy life, Rachel is upset when she sees Megan kiss a man other than Scott (who turns out to be her therapist, Dr. Kamal Abdic) on her terrace that faces the train. Rachel drinks heavily and blacks out that night.

Rachel spends much of the novel trying to recall the events of the night Megan was murdered. This quest is interrupted by many moments of recalling her marriage with Tom. When they learned she was infertile, Rachel began abusing alcohol. Tom exploited this weakness and planted false memories about the times Rachel blacked out from drinking. He manipulated her into believing she was violent and cruel. Only at the end of the novel, through a long process involving freewriting, therapy, attempting to be addiction-free, visiting locations she was at while drunk, and talking to other people who witnessed her actions while drunk, does Rachel recover her memories. Memories of Tom abusing her during their marriage are uncovered alongside memories of Tom hitting her before getting into a car with Megan the night of her murder.

Megan’s perspective, starting about a year before Rachel’s into 2012, also juxtaposes the past and the present. While working as a nanny for Tom and Anna, Megan begins having an affair with Tom. After a year of sleeping together, Megan becomes pregnant with his child. Megan’s emotionally abusive husband, Scott, becomes physically abusive when she tells him about the affair.

Before Tom murders Megan, she works with a therapist, Kamal. In her sessions with Kamal, as well as in moments of private reverie, Megan recalls the death of her brother, accidentally becoming a teenage mother, accidentally killing her first child, and how the baby’s father abandoned her. Megan decides she wants to try again at being a mother and keep Tom’s baby. While Megan attempts to have an affair with Kamal, he only kisses her. When Tom tells Megan to get an abortion, she becomes angry and aggressive, and he responds by killing her.

During Megan’s murder investigation, Rachel visits Scott to tell him about seeing Megan kiss Kamal. One night, they get drunk together and have sex. When Scott learns that Rachel lied about knowing Megan from her old art gallery, he becomes aggressive and locks her in a room. After releasing her, Scott doesn’t speak to Rachel again, even when she tries to apologize.

Meanwhile, Anna offers a different perspective of the same time periods as Rachel. She thinks about her past as Tom’s mistress and how she stole him away from Rachel. However, motherhood is not what Anna expected, and Rachel’s continued presence in Tom’s life upsets Anna. She initially believes Rachel might have killed Megan and thinks Tom cheats on her with Rachel. However, she discovers Megan’s phone in Tom’s gym bag, which reveals their affair.

When Rachel tells Anna that Tom killed Megan, Anna sides with Tom, as he is holding their baby. Tom nearly kills Rachel, and Anna does not try to stop him. However, once he gives her the baby back, Anna prepares to call the police. Rachel, in self-defense, stabs Tom in the neck with a corkscrew. Anna ensures that the corkscrew goes in deep enough for him to die and then tells the authorities that Rachel killed Tom in self-defense. The police, after suspecting both Kamal and Scott in Megan’s murder, accept that Tom is the murderer and Rachel is free to go.

The novel ends with Rachel, sober, taking a trip to the beach, as Megan had dreamed of doing, and traveling north on a train.

Book: Charlie and the chocolate factory

Author : Roald dahl

As Charlie and the Chocolate Factory opens, eccentric chocolatier Mr. Willy Wonka has decided to open his factory to five children and their parents after years of keeping it closed. He places five Golden Tickets inside the wrappers of different chocolate bars and declares that whoever finds one will be able to enter the factory.

Augustus Gloop, a greedy, heavyset child, wins the first ticket, and his town throws a parade in his honor. Veruca Salt is the second winner; her wealthy father purchased over a thousand chocolate bars and charged his factory workers with finding a ticket among them. Violet Beauregarde, the world record-holder for gum-chewing, wins the third ticket, and Mike Teavee, a child obsessed with television, wins the fourth ticket.

The world frantically searches for the fifth ticket. Charlie Bucket, a poor but virtuous boy who lives in a house with his parents and all four of his grandparents, is lucky enough to find the fifth ticket. Charlie receives one chocolate bar every year for his birthday; neither this bar nor Grandpa Joe’s second bar contains the Golden Ticket, but by a stroke of luck, he finds a crumpled dollar in the snow. He buys himself two more bars—the fourth bar revealing the fifth and final Golden Ticket.

The next day, the five Golden Ticket winners wait to meet Mr. Willy Wonka and enter the factory. Neither Charlie’s father nor mother can accompany him, but his eldest grandparent, Grandpa Joe, springs out of bed for the first time in decades—the excitement renewing his energy.

The sights and sounds of the factory are incredible. The children and their parents meet the Oompa-Loompas, a race of small people who work in the factory, dedicated to Mr. Wonka for having saved them. Charlie and his grandfather are respectful and kind, but the other four children fall victim to their own character flaws.

The first child to go is Augustus. He attempts to drink from the hot chocolate river, but he falls in and is sucked into the river’s pipes. Violet chews a piece of experimental gum, grows into a giant blueberry and is rolled out of the factory by the Oompa-Loompas. Veruca is deemed “bad” and thrown into the trash by the squirrels who judge the nuts added to candy. Mike decides to be the first human sent through the TV in Mr. Wonka’s chocolate-by-television delivery system, and when he shrinks, he must stretched by the gum-stretching machine.

Mr. Wonka remains dispassionate about each child’s fate, alienating the parents. He firmly believes that everything will work out in the end. When only Charlie remains, Willy Wonka surprises him by saying he’s won the contest. The visit has been a secret contest to determine the new owner of the chocolate factory. Charlie, Grandpa Joe, and Mr. Wonka fly in a glass elevator until it crashes through the rooves of the factory and into Charlie’s house, where they collect the rest of the Bucket Family.

The boy introduces himself as Krishan and offers sweet mangoes to Sita once they row away from the midstream far away from the danger and takes her to a village. Sita loved those mangoes and describe them as the sweetest mangoes she had ever in her life. Before leaving Krishan gives a flute to Sita and asks her to take care of it and promises her that he will come back again to visit her on the island. They both enjoyed their little time spent together on the boat eating mangoes and talking which created a desire in the heart of Sita to see Krishan once again.

Name of the Book : THE SERPENT'S REVENGE : Unusual Tales from the Mahabharata.

Author of the Book : Sudha Murthy

"THE SERPENT'S REVENGE : Unusual Tales from the Mahabharata " written by Sudha Murthy deals with the fascinating world of India's greatest epic the Mahabharatha's untold stories.

The Mahabharata is famous for the Kurukshetra war, but many lesser-known stories before, after, and during the war add depth to the epic, offering diverse perspectives rarely explored.

This book includes both familiar tales like Shakuntala and lesser-known ones such as the story of the half-golden mongoose teaching Yudhishthira about true sacrifice, and the narrative of Vikarna, Duryodhana's virtuous brother.

The book offers detailed endnotes providing insights into the significance of locations and events in India, along with explanations of why certain deities are worshipped. Additionally, the family tree of the Chandravansh in the last two pages provides valuable information about the lineage of the Kauravas and Pandavas.

My favorite is Barbarika's tale, Bhima's grandchild, with his powerful arrows. It warns against hasty vows causing destruction and reflects on destiny's role in life and death.

I highly recommend this wonderful yet simple representation of Indian mythology for the modern youth.

Through his relationship with G.H. Hardy, the book explores the profound impact their collaboration had on mathematics and on each other’s lives.One of the book’s greatest strengths is its ability to convey the beauty and complexity of Ramanujan's mathematical discoveries without overwhelming the reader.

Title: Book Thief
Author: Markus Zusak
Summary: The Book Thief tells the story of Liesel, a little girl who is taken to a new home because her mother can't afford to take care of her. The story is told by Death, who becomes a character you come to respect and even feel sorry for by the end. The narration puts an odd perspective on the story. Much of what Death says is very philosophical, and even beautiful.The Book Thief is set in Nazi Germany, at the start of World War Two. On the journey to her new home, Liesel's younger brother dies and she steals her first book: The Gravedigger's Handbook. When she arrives at her new home, she suddenly has a new mama and papa. Haunted every night by nightmares of her brother's death, Liesel and her Papa set themselves the challenge of reading the book, Liesel's last link to her brother. I found this book a bit of an eye opener. It is one of the first books about the war that I have read that is from somebody living in Germany's point of view. It makes you realise that so many people in Germany became victims of the war, that they weren't all evil as they are often portrayed. It is not the kind of story that has you crying one moment and laughing the next. The sadness surrounding Liesel's story creeps up on you, until suddenly you realise that it was like this for so many, and how serious it was, and is.In reflection, The Book Thief leaves behind a sense of guilt, in some ways. Because it is the British bombs that are falling in Germany, the British who kill so many in the story and leave the reader's cheeks soaked in tears.Overall I would rate it 8/10, and recommend it to anyone aged 13 and upwards, as it is a serious story, and may not be fully understood by those younger.

Name of the book-regret

Author - kate chopin

Mamzelle Aurélie possessed a good strong figure, ruddy cheeks, hair that was

changing from brown to gray, and a determined eye. She wore a man's hat about the

farm, and an old blue army overcoat when it was cold, and sometimes topboots.

Mamzelle Aurélie had never thought of marrying. She had never been in love. At

the age of twenty she had received a proposal, which she had promptly declined, and at

the age of fifty she had not yet lived to regret it.

So she was quite alone in the world, except for her dog Ponto, and the negroes who

lived in her cabins and worked her crops, and the fowls, a few cows, a couple of mules,

her gun (with which she shot chicken-hawks), and her religion.

One morning Mamzelle Aurélie stood upon her gallery, contemplating, with arms

akimbo, a small band of very small children who, to all intents and purposes, might have

fallen from the clouds, so unexpected and bewildering was their coming, and so

unwelcome. They were the children of her nearest neighbor, Odile, who was not such a

near neighbor, after all.

The young woman had appeared but five minutes before, accompanied by these

four children. In her arms she carried little Elodie; she dragged Ti Nomme by an

unwilling hand; while Marcéline and Marcélette followed with irresolute steps.

Her face was red and disfigured from tears and excitement. She had been

summoned to a neighboring parish by the dangerous illness of her mother; her husband

was away in Texas--it seemed to her a million miles away; and Valsin was waiting with

the mule-cart to drive her to the station.

"It's no question, Mamzelle Aurélie; you jus' got to keep those youngsters fo' me tell

I come back. Dieu sait, I would n' botha you with 'em if it was any otha way to do! Make

'em mine you, Mamzelle Aurélie; don' spare 'em. Me, there, I'm half crazy between the

chil'ren, an' Léon not home, an' maybe not even to fine po' maman alive encore!"--a

harrowing possibility which drove Odile to take a final hasty and convulsive leave of her

disconsolate family.

She left them crowded into the narrow strip of shade on the porch of the long, low

house; the white sunlight was beating in on the white old boards; some chickens were

scratching in the grass at the foot of the steps, and one had boldly mounted, and was

stepping heavily, solemnly, and aimlessly across the gallery. There was a pleasant odor of

pinks in the air, and the sound of negroes' laughter was coming across the flowering

cotton-field.

Mamzelle Aurélie stood contemplating the children. She looked with a critical eye

upon Marcéline, who had been left staggering beneath the weight of the chubby Elodie.

She surveyed with the same calculating air Marcélette mingling her silent tears with the

audible grief and rebellion of Ti Nomme. During those few contemplative moments she

was collecting herself, determining upon a line of action which should be identical with a

line of duty. She began by feeding them.

If Mamzelle Aurélie's responsibilities might have begun and ended there, they

could easily have been dismissed; for her larder was amply provided against an

emergency of this nature. But little children are not little pigs; they require and demand

attentions which were wholly unexpected by Mamzelle Aurélie, and which she was ill

prepared to give.

She was, indeed, very inapt in her management of Odile's children during the first

few days. How could she know that Marcélette always wept when spoken to in a loud and

commanding tone of voice? It was a peculiarity of Marcélette's. She became acquainted

with Ti Nomme's passion for flowers only when he had plucked all the choicest gardenias

and pinks for the apparent purpose of critically studying their botanical construction.

" 'Tain't enough to tell 'im, Mamzelle Aurélie," Marcéline instructed her; "you got

to tie 'im in a chair. It's w'at maman all time do w'en he's bad: she tie 'im in a chair." The

chair in which Mamzelle Aurélie tied Ti Nomme was roomy and comfortable, and he

seized the opportunity to take a nap in it, the afternoon being warm.

At night, when she ordered them one and all to bed as she would have shooed the

chickens into the hen-house, they stayed uncomprehending before her. What about the

little white nightgowns that had to be taken from the pillow-slip in which they were

brought over, and shaken by some strong hand till they snapped like ox-whips? What

about the tub of water which had to be brought and set in the middle of the floor, in

which the little tired, dusty, sunbrowned feet had every one to be washed sweet and

clean? And it made Marcéline and Marcélette laugh merrily--the idea that Mamzelle

Aurélie should for a moment have believed that Ti Nomme could fall asleep without

being told the story of Croque-mitaine or Loup-garou, or both; or that Elodie could fall asleep

at all without being rocked and sung to.

"I tell you, Aunt Ruby," Mamzelle Aurélie informed her cook in confidence; "me,

I'd rather manage a dozen plantation' than fo' chil'ren. It's terrassent! Bonté! Don't talk to

me about chil'ren!"

" 'Tain' ispected sich as you would know airy thing 'bout 'em, Mamzelle Aurélie. I

see dat plainly yistiddy w'en I spy dat li'le chile playin' wid yo' baskit o' keys. You don'

know dat makes chillun grow up hard-headed, to play wid keys? Des like it make 'em

teeth hard to look in a lookin'-glass. Them's the things you got to know in the raisin' an'

manigement o' chillun."

Mamzelle Aurélie certainly did not pretend or aspire to such subtle and farreaching knowledge on the subject as Aunt Ruby possessed, who had "raised five an'

bared (buried) six" in her day. She was glad enough to learn a few little mother-tricks to

serve the moment's need.

Ti Nomme's sticky fingers compelled her to unearth white aprons that she had not

worn for years, and she had to accustom herself to his moist kisses--the expressions of an

affectionate and exuberant nature. She got down her sewing-basket, which she seldom

used, from the top shelf of the armoire, and placed it within the ready and easy reach

which torn slips and buttonless waists demanded. It took her some days to become

accustomed to the laughing, the crying, the chattering that echoed through the house and

around it all day long. And it was not the first or the second night that she could sleep

comfortably with little Elodie's hot, plump body pressed close against her, and the little

one's warm breath beating her cheek like the fanning of a bird's wing.

But at the end of two weeks Mamzelle Aurélie had grown quite used to these things,

and she no longer complained.

It was also at the end of two weeks that Mamzelle Aurélie, one evening, looking

away toward the crib where the cattle were being fed, saw Valsin's blue cart turning the

bend of the road. Odile sat beside the mulatto, upright and alert. As they drew near, the

young woman's beaming face indicated that her homecoming was a happy one.

But this coming, unannounced and unexpected, threw Mamzelle Aurélie into a

flutter that was almost agitation. The children had to be gathered. Where was Ti

Nomme? Yonder in the shed, putting an edge on his knife at the grindstone. And

Marcéline and Marcélette? Cutting and fashioning doll-rags in the corner of the gallery.

As for Elodie, she was safe enough in Mamzelle Aurélie's arms; and she had screamed

with delight at sight of the familiar blue cart which was bringing her mother back to her.

The excitement was all over, and they were gone. How still it was when they were

gone! Mamzelle Aurélie stood upon the gallery, looking and listening. She could no

longer see the cart; the red sunset and the blue-gray twilight had together flung a purple

mist across the fields and road that hid it from her view. She could no longer hear the

wheezing and creaking of its wheels. But she could still faintly hear the shrill, glad voices

of the children.

She turned into the house. There was much work awaiting her, for the children

had left a sad disorder behind them; but she did not at once set about the task of righting

it. Mamzelle Aurélie seated herself beside the table. She gave one slow glance through the

room, into which the evening shadows were creeping and deepening around her solitary

figure. She let her head fall down upon her bended arm, and began to cry. Oh, but she

cried! Not softly, as women often do. She cried like a man, with sobs that seemed to tear

her very soul. She did not notice Ponto licking her hand.

Her prose is very simple and direct which helps us to imagine the situation of North Korean people in our minds.The book is divided into 3 parts descrining about 3 countries North Korea, China and South Korea respectively.Park recounts her childhood in North Korea, a world shrouded in propaganda and brutal scarcity. Her memories paint a chilling picture of a society where survival is a constant struggle and freedom is a distant dream.

The book shines brightest in its depiction of Park's escape. With unflinching honesty, she describes the perilous journey across the border into China, a desperate gamble for a better life. The hardships she endures – hunger, exploitation, and constant fear – are difficult to read, yet impossible to ignore.

The third part is about the South Korea which is a neighboring country of North Korea but entirely different from North Korea she describes this part as a paradise comparing to North Korea.

I recommend this book to those people who need to know more about North Korea or survival stories .it gives us a hope for survival and to fight for freedom until our last breath.it offers a profound look at a world few of us know, forcing us to confront the realities faced by North Koreans.

Percy Jackson is a series of books written by Rick Riordan. These books are about Greek mythology. The story revolves around a 12-year-old boy who finds out that he is not a normal person, he is a half-blood which means that he is half-human and half-god, the child of a greek god.

Camp half-blood was the only place that was safe for all the half-bloods as there were monsters who were always in the mood to kill them. Percy's friends - Annabeth, Grover, and his brother Tyson went on many dangerous adventures like returning the lightning bolt to Zeus (The God of Sky), saving their camp half-blood, stopping the rise of Titans, and more.

They go on many quests where they experience deaths, betrayals, facing the deadliest monsters, and unexpected truths. The books have many twists which are my favorite part of these books. In between these exciting plot twists, action, and riddles, there is also a story about friends who became a family during all the hustle.

The message that these books give is about the importance of trust and unity. At times Percy makes decisions throughout the novel to either choose to trust others or keep things to himself. He ultimately decides it is better to trust, despite the number of times his trust is betrayed. This book also tells us that everyone has a weakness, and sometimes that weakness can become your strength.

Book : Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

Author : yuval noah harari

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind examining the shaping of human history. Israeli author Yuval Noah Harari shines a light, sometimes harshly, on how humans have exploited the ideas of capitalism, religion, and politics to control the globe and put the species Homo sapiens on the threshold of banishing natural selection. Sapiens landed on the New York Times best-seller list and won the National Library of China’s Wenjin Book Award for best book published in 2014. In 2019, Sapiens won the Academic Book Week Book of the Year award as part of the UK’s Academic Book Trade Conference Awards.

Harari describes the development of the human species across an evolutionary framework from the earliest stages through to the present day and concludes by sharing some sweeping predictions for our future. During the Cognitive Revolution (70,000 years ago), Homo sapiens developed cognitive abilities that surpassed other humans of the age. The Agricultural Revolution (10,000 years ago) brought about humans’ domestication of plants and animals, and the Scientific Revolution (500 years ago) ushered in an era of exploration, science, and capitalism that defines today’s societies. The Industrial Revolution (200 years ago) transformed and fashioned Homo sapiens, the only remaining human species, into what they are today.Advancement is generally thought to improve the quality of life, but Sapiens maintains that the opposite is true. Our hunter-gatherer predecessors had many advantages that we no longer enjoy. We rely on technology and medical advances, while our quality of life and our maintenance of the environment remain far from ideal. From this point of view, Harari wonders how our species, with such destruction in our wake, came to dominate the planet. The author postulates that this outcome is due to our ability to communicate and believe in ideas that do not exist.

The concept of shared myths facilitates cooperation between strangers and has led to the unification of humankind. The strangers we cooperate with are not only people in our community; they include the now-massive number of humans living on Earth. Examples of the myths that allow cooperation, development, and relatively peaceful living include religion, empires and government, mathematics and writing, and money. These ideas allow family groups, communities, and nations not only to exist but also to grow and flourish. Humans are now on the brink of another revolution, Harari argues, having become akin to gods by transcending natural selection using genetic engineering and hastening the age of intelligent design.

Book: A Court of Silver Flames

Author : Sarah J Maas

A Court of Silver Flames falls into the categories of Romantic Fantasy and Epic Fantasy.

The story is set in a fantasy realm inhabited by humans and Fae. The Fae are humanoid fairies who possess many supernatural abilities. While some elements of the story suggest a contemporary timeframe, much of the book’s ethos derives from medieval warrior cultures and aligns closely with the sword and sorcery genre. The events described in the novel span approximately six months, from autumn through spring of the following year. Events are described using a limited third-person narrative technique from the alternating perspectives of the book’s protagonist, 25-year-old Nesta Archeron, and her antagonist/lover, a winged Fae general named Cassian.

The novel opens shortly after the events concluding the preceding book in the series. Nesta has alienated her two sisters and all the members of the royal Court of Night. Her family attempts an intervention to get her to shape up by sending her to train with Cassian. In Nesta’s evolution from wild child to warrior, she discovers Valkyrie mind control and battle techniques that allow her to master her supernatural powers and volatile emotions. As the novel follows Nesta’s transformation, the book explores the themes of Overcoming Male Abuse, Mastering Emotions, and Alienation and Connection.As the novel begins, Nesta is still traumatized by events in the previous installment of the series when she was forcibly changed from human to Fae and ended up taking supernatural powers from the magical Cauldron that caused her transformation. In the present, Nesta is corroded with self-hatred and blames herself for failing to save her sister from being turned into a Fae or saving her father from being killed by the King of Hybern. She secretly believes she isn’t worthy of love and pushes away everyone who reaches out to her.

After pursuing a self-destructive lifestyle of gambling, drinking, and one-night stands, Nesta becomes the target of a family intervention. She is sent to the House of Wind perched high atop the city. Since the only access to the world below is a spiral staircase consisting of 10,000 steps, Nesta is a virtual prisoner. While at the house, she is expected to undergo physical training with Cassian, a battle-hardened war veteran and leader of the military forces of the Court of Night. The two get off to a rocky start before Cassian coaxes Nesta into a daily training regimen. She repeatedly tries to escape the house by climbing down the stairs, but her poor physical condition always makes her abandon the effort.

The house is also the sanctuary for priestesses who were physically abused during the war with Hybern and have retreated to the court library inside the house to pursue their studies in peace. Nesta is also expected to help them out at the library each afternoon. She eventually makes friends with a young priestess named Gwyn, who teaches her the mind-quieting techniques and battle tactics of the legendary Valkyries. The Valkyries were formidable female warriors who were all killed in a battle 500 years earlier. Gwyn and Nesta want to revive their practices and convince Cassian to train them Valkyrie-style. They are soon joined by a shopkeeper named Emerie, who lives among the misogynistic Illyrian race of male warriors and wants control of her own life.

During her months of training, Nesta forms a bond with Gwyn, Emerie, the sentient House of Wind, and Cassian. She and her friends are forced to participate in the Illyrian Blood Rite to prove that females can’t compete with males, but they end up winning against impossible odds. By the novel's end, Nesta succeeds in saving her entire family, learns how to accept Cassian’s love, and accepts herself as she is.

Book : How to stop time

Author : novel by Matt haig

How to Stop Time is a 2017 novel by English author Matt Haig. It follows protagonist Tom Hazard through his 400-year life as he loses himself to fear and seeks purpose. This novel deals with themes concerning the inevitability of change and learning to find happiness.

Tom Hazard begins his first-person narrative by describing his condition. While he looks like an ordinary 40-year-old man, he has actually been alive for centuries. He was born in France on March 3, 1581. His condition prevents him from aging at a normal pace; he ages one year every 15 years or so. The general public is not ready for such knowledge; human superstition is too rampant. Those with the condition are protected by an organization that disposes of those who learn the truth. As gratitude for the Albatross Society’s protection, each member must perform the occasional assignment. These assignments usually involve recruiting others with the condition or disposing of threats. Within the first few pages, Tom is on such an assignment in Sri Lanka, but his target is already dead when he arrives.

The story is divided by time and place. Each section occurs in one setting and one timeframe, either in Tom’s present or his past. The flashback portions reveal Tom’s history from Elizabethan England to Golden Age Paris. He meets Shakespeare working as a lutist at the Globe. Later he drinks with F. Scott Fitzgerald in Paris, where he plays piano at a hotel restaurant. Tom frequently remembers his mother’s death at the hands of witchfinders and his forced separation from his wife and daughter. Every few years he leaves town and starts a new life with a new name, always worrying about the future and the consequences of being discovered. His condition hurts or kills everyone he loves. Therefore, he must keep himself unattached.The main conflict, and the driving force behind Tom’s survival, is the search for his daughter Marion, who inherited his condition and is also on the run from discovery. Tom agrees to join the Albatross Society for the sole reason of using their resources to find her. Hendrich, founder and leader of the society, promises to find her and reunite them, but as the story progresses, Tom is still no closer to finding her. Hendrich fuels Tom’s fears of witchfinders and their modern equivalent, bio-scientists. He constantly reminds Tom of a German institute that knows about them and experiments on the ones they catch. Superstition, no matter the time period, always leads to them being hunted, cast out, or locked up.

Tom’s present-day storyline follows his adjustment to modern London as a history teacher. He struggles to engage his students as he battles the headaches caused by flashbacks that occur with each lesson. In spite of all this, he falls in love with the French teacher Camille. Camille finds him fascinating and strives to solve the mystery that surrounds him. They grow close and discover Camille recognizes him from a photo of a 1920s pianist that hung in her former workplace. Unable to continue lying, Tom confides in her. Tom knows the society won’t let her live now that she knows about them, and he constantly worries about her while away on another assignment.

Hendrich requires Tom to bring in Omai, Tom’s old friend with the same condition. Omai ends up in Australia surfing the waves and drawing too much attention to himself. Tom must convince him to join the society and come under their protection. Omai refuses. He is tired of the lies and just wants to be himself. Tom knows that Hendrich won’t let him be free on his own. Omai doesn’t fear witchfinders and scientists like Hendrich and Tom do; he sees fear as a prison. He encourages Tom to find his happiness and be free, too.

The sections become shorter as time speeds up, drawing to a final crescendo. The turning point occurs when Tom recognizes Hendrich as the villain. Marion resurfaces and confronts Tom for abandoning her as a child. Hendrich finds Marion but doesn’t tell Tom. Instead, he manipulates Marion into believing that Tom never wanted her and that’s why he left. Tom’s whole world implodes. He confronts Hendrich with the truth, but Marion is angrier. She shoots Hendrich as he pours gasoline on Omai’s house. He lights himself on fire and walks of a cliff into the ocean.

In the end, Omai keeps surfing the Australian waters; Tom returns to London and patches things up with Camille; Marion visits Tom but finds peace and quiet away from the city. After 400 years, Tom finally finds happiness in the present and lives in the moment. He can’t fear and worry about the future.

Book: Like the Flowing River

Author: Paulo Coelho

'Like the Flowing River' of Paulo Coelho, a Brazilian lyricist and Novelist with extraordinary skills in Literature is a compilation of inspiring short- stories based on Coelho's true experiences. This collection of stories and thoughts of the author reflects his personal interests like archery, gardening and religion. Most of the stories are from the time when he was living in a millhouse in Brazil. One of the stories I recall the most is the one where his neighbour instructs him to cut a tree because it's leaves keep falling on his roof. Coelho declined but was also taken aback because his neighbour was farmar and he closely interacted with vegetation daily and the same man wanted to cut down a tree that took almost 15 years to grow. He interpreted the farmer as a self-centered and selfish fellow. He even offered to buy the plot of land from the farmer but he refused. Finally they decided to find a mediator and later found out that Coelho had to cut the tree because the law states that a tree must be atleast 4 metres away frome another plot but mine was under the distance stated. He later thought why the farmer declined his offer to buy the plot of land even when he was offering a much greater amount than its actual value. He wanted to believe it was because people hate changes. Some might be okay with it but old people like the farmer had spend his whole life in that small village and didn't wanted to have big changes like moving in his last years. Paulo never thought the man as selfish or self-centered again. I consider this one of greatest pieces of Paulo Coelho with its greatly inspiring short stories.

Book: Black Beauty

Author: Anna Sewell

Anna Sewell was 14 years old when she got into accident and injured her ankles. Thereafter, she was mostly dependent on horses for transportation purposes thus became attached to them. She wrote this marvellous fictional book to express her love for horses. The story chases after a young black colt through its childhood, adulthood and elderhood and through its various names, masters, homes.

He was born as the son of a horse named Duchess and became Black Beauty as a carriage horse. He continued his journey being sold to others and becoming a "job horse", a cab horse named Jack, as a pack animal and finally by sheer coincidence back to the same place where he got his first name,'Black Beauty'. This shows us the difficulties of a horse in the 1800s and the bond that formed between a horse and a human. Even though the use of horses as transportation is long gone, people still read this book to remember the ages when horses were used daily for various purposes which when set side by side today, we hardly get to see horses. A wonderful children's book and recommend it to everyone to read this masterpiece.

Book - Animal Farm

Author - George Orwell

According to Orwell, Animal Farm reflects events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then on into the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union, a period of time when Russia lived under the communist ideology of Joseph Stalin. Orwell, a democratic socialist, was a critic of Stalin and hostile to Moscow-directed Stalinism, an attitude that was critically shaped by his experiences during the Barcelona May Days conflicts between the POUM and Stalinist forces during the Spanish Civil War. In a letter to Yvonne Davet, Orwell described Animal Farm as a satirical tale against Stalin ("un conte satirique contre Staline"), and in his essay "Why I Write" (1946), wrote: "Animal Farm was the first book in which I tried, with full consciousness of what I was doing, to fuse political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole".

The original title was Animal Farm: A Fairy Story, but US publishers dropped the subtitle when it was published in 1946, and only one of the translations during Orwell's lifetime, the Telugu version, kept it. Other title variations include subtitles like "A Satire" and "A Contemporary Satire". Orwell suggested the title Union des républiques socialistes animales for the French translation, which abbreviates to URSA, the Latin word for "bear", a symbol of Russia. It also played on the French name of the Soviet Union, Union des républiques socialistes soviétiques.

Orwell wrote the book between November 1943 and February 1944, when the United Kingdom was in its wartime alliance with the Soviet Union against Nazi Germany, and the British intelligentsia held Stalin in high esteem, a phenomenon Orwell hated. The manuscript was initially rejected by seral British and American publishers, including one of Orwell's own, Victor Gollancz, which delayed its publication. It became a great commercial success when it did appear, as international relations and public opinion were transformed as the wartime alliance gave way to the Cold War.

BOOK REVIEW

The Magic of the Lost Temple is a wonderful book written by my favourite author Sudha Murty. She writes a lot of books for children and also had written novels travelogues, short stories etc.

In this story, there lived a city girl named Nooni lived with her parents in an apartment in Bangalore,when her mother had a meeting in Dehli they planned to send Nooni to her father's village where Nooni's grandparents lived.

Nooni was surprised at the pace of life in her grandparent's life in their village. But she quickly gets used to her daily routine and involves in various activities and makes different friends. One day she gets enchanted by hearing the story of an old stepwell told by her grandparents, but due to some kind of misbehaviour it was closed and no one have ever tasted the fresh water.

Later, when Nooni and her friends goes for a picnic to the river through Nooni suddenly discovers a stepwell when she steps on a sinking mud, when she told this to her friends they were exited but scared too. So they informed their parents and villagers started to investigate urther more they found out that there is something beautiful and important down there.

Investigations continued with help of Nooni's father and after three or four weeks later they concluded that it was a stepwell which was closed in ancient times due to several reasons. And the archaeologists have also found the water source and they tasted the nectar like water. And the journalists came and the news spread like a wildfire and reached all over the country.

Finally, it was the time to say goodbye but Nooni's grandfather had a token of love for all the members who worked really hard and Nooni's grandmother gifted Nooni a beautiful pearl necklace. Nooni was really upset to leave the village but she controlled it by promising that she will come to the village every summer vacations.

Therefore I suggest all readers to read this book because it contain a wonderful collection of adventurous and achievement of teamwork and love.

Avery is on the edge of inheriting the fortune as she is turning 18 when a girl names Eve shows up saying that Toby (Avery’s adoptive father and Eve’s real father) is missing and is sure he is abducted. Followed by a clue through a mail with Toby’s photo indicating that he is indeed abducted and is alive. Later she gets another mail saying ‘ I always win in the end ‘ which makes it obvious that there is an enemy and that they are now playing for their life.

Book name: GITANJALI

Author's name: RABINDRANATH TAGORE

Summary

GITANJALI is a wonderful collection of poems written by Rabindranath Tagore which was published in 1910. Gitanjali meaning "Song Offerings" is a deeply spiritual work that explores various themes such as love, devotion, nature and human experience.

It is divided into two parts and majority of these poems are expressed as dialogues between god and poet. The most interesting fact is that this was composed in British India, and so when protests became violent against British government the poet appealed these songs to awaken his countrymen into paradise of wisdom and labour.

He also asked for the abolition of caste prejudice.

Rabindranath Tagore depicted death as the only way to reach god, to him death was a calm ocean where he may relax when his life ends, Therefore all of his poems have a strong link to nature. Tagore was a poet who loves God and religion thus his poetry shows the truth, happiness and beauty of the world.

Therefore I suggest all readers to read this book so that one can understand how Tagore saw the world through his poetry, with love, truth and compassion.

In the Hawthrone Legacy , Avery is living in the Hawthrone House along with the late old man’s family as the new heir to the Hawthrone fortune. Despite the dangers from outside and inside , Avery does a DNA test find out if she is connected to the family , but as the test proves that she is not connected to the family by any means , questions start to arise in her mind about why the old man left all his fortune to a stranger. But one day she finds a hidden compartment in the late old man’s desk , in the hidden compartment she finds her birth certificate with her father’s name highlighted by the old man. As she follows various clues she becomes less and less sure about who to trust and what to believe.

I really liked how the story went, especially the part where they broke down the wall of Toby’s room and found everything written on the walls with invisible ink. The story was very interesting , the story was slow paced in the beginning but as it got to the end, the story went really fast and it would keep you on your toes till the very end.

And as for the characters , my favourites are Jameson , Greyson and Xander and as for Nash I felt as if he didn’t have any special role.

The story was very mysterious and intriguing , especially the way Avery and the boys dealt with the clues and threats to reach the end.

Title of the book :The Good soldier

Name of the author :Ford Madox ford

Summary

It was a saddest story but was renamed because it had happened during the bloodshed of World War

The Good soldier, as it came to be called, was ford's sarcastic suggestion for a new title. The Good soldier ironically features characters who cheat, lie, and threaten and another.told from the perspective of an unreliable narrator,the Good soldier examines themes of reality Vs. Perception and cheating and betrayal. I personally like this story and I suggest this for everyone .
