The new edition also includes the 1957 Nobel Banquet Speech of the French writer Albert Camus. Speaking in the aftermath of the Second World War, Camus had stressed on the writer's duty to use his craft in the service of those who fight for freedom.A prescribed textbook for the B.A. English and Communicative English as well as the B.A. English Language and Literature programmes of the University of Kerala, each essay in Reflections includes an introduction about the author, a summary, detailed annotations and questions.The collection is a mix of the serious and the light-hearted. Students will discover that Joseph Addison's 'Sir Roger at the Assizes', though written more than 300 years ago, can still raise a smile, while the extracts from The Diary of Anne Frank will throw light on the indomitable spirit of a young girl living through the horrors of the Holocaust.
