RET SAMADHI

अस्सी की होने चली दादी ने विधवा होकर परिवार से पीठ कर खटिया पकड़ ली। परिवार उसे वापस अपने बीच खींचने में लगा। प्रेम, वैर, आपसी नोकझोंक में खदबदाता संयुक्त परिवार। दादी बजि़द कि अब नहीं उठूँगी। फिर इन्हीं शब्दों की ध्वनि बदलकर हो जाती है अब तो नई ही उठूँगी। दादी उठती है। बिलकुल नई। नया बचपन, नई जवानी, सामाजिक वर्जनाओं-निषेधों से मुक्त, नए रिश्तों और नए तेवरों में पूर्ण स्वच्छन्द। हर साधारण औरत में छिपी एक असाधारण स्त्री की महागाथा तो है ही रेत-समाधि, संयुक्त परिवार की तत्कालीन स्थिति, देश के हालात और सामान्य मानवीय नियति का विलक्षण चित्रण भी है। और है एक अमर प्रेम प्रसंग व रोज़ी जैसा अविस्मरणीय चरित्र। कथा लेखन की एक नयी छटा है इस उपन्यास में। इसकी कथा, इसका कालक्रम, इसकी संवेदना, इसका कहन, सब अपने निराले अन्दाज़ में चलते हैं।

The World of Blandings

The World of Blandings

₹300

In this wonderfully fat omnibus, which seems to span the dimensions of the Empress of Blandings herself (the fattest pig in Shropshire and surely all England), the whole world of Blandings Castle is spread out for our delectation: the engagingly dotty Lord Emsworth and his enterprising brother Galahad, his terrifying sister Lady Constance, Beach the butler (his voice 'like tawny port made audible'), James Wellbeloved, the gifted but not always sober pigman, and Lord Emsworth's secretary the Efficient Baxter, with gleaming spectacles, whose attempts to bring order to the Castle always end in disarray.Lurking in the wings is Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe of Matchingham Hall, the neighbour with designs on the Prize which must surely belong to the Empress.As Evelyn Waugh wrote, 'The gardens of Blandings Castle are that original garden from which we are all exiled.'In this wonderfully fat omnibus, which seems to span the dimensions of the Empress of Blandings herself (the fattest pig in Shropshire and surely all England), the whole world of Blandings Castle is spread out for our delectation: the engagingly dotty Lord Emsworth and his enterprising brother Galahad, his terrifying sister Lady Constance, Beach the butler (his voice 'like tawny port made audible'), James Wellbeloved, the gifted but not always sober pigman, and Lord Emsworth's secretary the Efficient Baxter, with gleaming spectacles, whose attempts to bring order to the Castle always end in disarray.Lurking in the wings is Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe of Matchingham Hall, the neighbour with designs on the Prize which must surely belong to the Empress.As Evelyn Waugh wrote, 'The gardens of Blandings Castle are that original garden from which we are all exiled.'This omnibus contains Something Fresh, Summer Lightning and three short stories (The Custody of the Pumpkin, Lord Emsworth Acts for the Best and Pig-hoo-o-o-o-ey).
