KARN: THE LUMINOUS WARRIOR (Part-1): Mahabharat (In Poetry) - Through Story of Karn by Akshay Raghav (1 Review)    Price verified 11 hours ago

Karn: The Luminous Warrior is a work based on "Rashmirathi", which is a highly celebrated Hindi poem written by Ramdhari Singh Dinkar, one of the most prominent poets of modern Hindi literature. He was also popularly referred to as 'Rashtra Kavi' i.e., National Poet. The poem Rashmirathi was first published in 1952 and is considered one of the finest examples of Hindi literature. The poem is a dramatic monologue delivered by Karn as well as a few other central characters of the Indian Itihasa epic Mahabharat. As I grew up, Rashmi Rathi became one of the greatest sources of inspiration for me over time. It is interesting to see how the poem 'Rashmirathi' goes beyond being just a piece of poetry and contains a deep philosophical aspect. This poem serves as a reminder of the valuable teachings of the Indic knowledge systems that are still relevant in today's world. Therefore, I have made my best effort to translate and render the meaning of the Hindi poem into its truest sense in English, with some changes to keep the proper flow of poetry. I wish that this timeless message and teachings of Rashmirathi and Mahabharat can reach a broader readership in India as well as beyond.

A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens (Global Publishers) (521 Reviews)    Price verified 29 minutes ago

A Tale of Two Cities is a historical novel published in 1859 by Charles Dickens, set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution. The novel tells the story of the French Doctor Manette, his 18-year-long imprisonment in the Bastille in Paris, and his release to live in London with his daughter Lucie whom he had never met. The story is set against the conditions that led up to the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror. In the Introduction to the Encyclopedia of Adventure Fiction, critic Don D'Ammassa argues that it is an adventure novel because the protagonists are in constant danger of being imprisoned or killed. As Dickens's best-known work of historical fiction, A Tale of Two Cities is said to be one of the best-selling novels of all time. In 2003, the novel was ranked 63rd on the BBC's The Big Read poll. The novel has been adapted for film, television, radio, and the stage, and has continued to influence popular culture.

A Tree and Gone by Terence Culleton (FutureCycle Press) (4 Reviews)    Price verified 12 hours ago

The locales for these sonnets are those of modern America: shopping malls, a boardwalk fudge shop, bookstores, parks, intersections, beaches, housing subdivisions, highway overpasses. Wherever he finds himself, Culleton confronts the mystery of who we all are, what we have become. True to the sonnet's roots in the songs of the troubadours, the musicality of these poems resonates even as the language remains colloquial. Culleton's mastery of the form is such that each sonnet reads as naturally as any free verse poem. Unlike much unmetered poetry, though, they seem also to want to be read aloud. While any one of these poems can be "gotten" in one read, all of them bear up under re-reading, yielding further nuances of sound and significance. Each is an epiphany, large or small, to be gone back to again and again for what, in Robert Frost's words, poetry offers: "A momentary stay against confusion."
