Suddenly, the world of cricket, homework and adventure stories seems a long way away. The boys are faced with a more pressing reality — survival — and the appearance of a terrifying beast who haunts their dreams.‘No living writer has represented the fragility of man's enterprises so marvelously as Golding.’ A.

Librarian note: An alternative cover for this ISBN can be found here.From a tormented orphan with a clubfoot, Philip Carey grows into an impressionable young man with a voracious appetite for adventure and knowledge.

Then he falls obsessively in love, embarking on a disastrous relationship that will change his life forever…Marked by countless similarities to Maugham’s own life, his masterpiece is “not an autobiography,” as the author himself once contended, “but an autobiographical novel; fact and fiction are inexorably mingled; the emotions are my own.”

In northern India, an eighty-year-old woman slips into a deep depression after the death of her husband, and then resurfaces to gain a new lease on life. Her determination to fly in the face of convention – including striking up a friendship with a transgender person – confuses her bohemian daughter, who is used to thinking of herself as the more ‘modern’ of the two.To her family’s consternation, Ma insists on travelling to Pakistan, simultaneously confronting the unresolved trauma of her teenage experiences of Partition, and re-evaluating what it means to be a mother, a daughter, a woman, a feminist.Rather than respond to tragedy with seriousness, Geetanjali Shree’s playful tone and exuberant wordplay results in a book that is engaging, funny, and utterly original, at the same time as being an urgent and timely protest against the destructive impact of borders and boundaries, whether between religions, countries, or genders.

David Herbert Richards Lawrence was born in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire in 1885. His father was a miner and his mother a teacher. His output was both prolific and diverse including novels,plays, short stories,essays,poems,travel books,paintings,translations and literary criticism. Lawrence had unconventional opinions, especially about sexuality, and at the time of his death he was thought of mainly as pornographer who had frittered away his considerable talents. But E. M. Froster, in an obituary notice, described him as" the greatest imaginative novelist of our generation." Later critics concurred, and Lawrence is now remembered as an important modernist intellectual.The Rainbow, one of D.H. Lawrence's greatest literary triumphs, chronicles the lives of three generations of the Brangwen family of Nottinghanshire from the 1840s to the early years of the twentieth century. The Book was condemned and suppressed on its first publication in 1915 for its sensuous immediacy and the frankness with which it explores emotional and sexual life.

"AND IF LIFE HAD NO LOVE IN IT, WHAT ELSE WAS THERE FOR MAGGIE?" Torn between her passion for intellect and a desperate need to win her brother's love and approval, the rebellious and spirited Maggie Tulliver is in conflict with her family. Her intelligence is considered unnatural, while her incurious brother, Tom, is sent to school. As Maggie goes to visit her brother often, on one of her visits she befriends the cultured and crippled Philip Wakem-the son of her father's enemy. Pained as they are, by the lack of love in their lives, Maggie and Philip are attracted to each other. What happens when, years later, Maggie goes to stay with her cousin, Lucy, and ends up having a clandestine affair with her polished suitor? The Mill on the Floss is one of George Eliot's great works. The novel vividly portrays both the oppressive narrowness and the appeal of provincial England, the comedy as well as the tragedy of obscure lives. ABOUT AUTHORMary Ann Evans was born in November 1819, in Warwickshire, England, to a local mill-owner, Robert Evans, and his wife Christiana Evans. Mary adopted the male pseudonym, George Eliot, to ensure that her works were taken seriously. Eliot's first major literary work was an English translation of The Life of Jesus (1846) by Strauss. Some of her earliest prose writings were published in Bray's newspaper, the Coventry Herald and Observer. Her short narratives were followed by a long novel, Adam Bede, which was published in 1859. An instant success, it built her reputation. But the public soon became suspicious about the author behind George Eliot. And by the time of the publication of The Mill on the Floss in 1860, her authorship had been tentatively guessed by many. The Mill on the Floss is a remarkable portrayal of childhood with gradually developing characters. It was followed by Silas Marner (1861), Romola (1863), Felix Halt (1866), and Middlemarch (1871-72). Her novels can be termed as those of psychological realism.

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great GatsbyThe Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, the novel depicts narrator Nick Carraway's interactions with mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and Gatsby's obsession to reunite with his former lover, Daisy Buchanan.A youthful romance Fitzgerald had with socialite Ginevra King, and the riotous parties he attended on Long Island's North Shore in 1922 inspired the novel. Following a move to the French Riviera, he completed a rough draft in 1924. He submitted the draft to editor Maxwell Perkins, who persuaded Fitzgerald to revise the work over the following winter. After his revisions, Fitzgerald was satisfied with the text, but remained ambivalent about the book's title and considered several alternatives. The final title he desired was Under the Red, White, and Blue. Painter Francis Cugat's final cover design impressed Fitzgerald who incorporated a visual element from the art into the novel.Gatsby continues to attract popular and scholarly attention. The novel was most recently adapted to film in 2013 by director Baz Luhrmann, while contemporary scholars emphasize the novel's treatment of social class, inherited wealth compared to those who are self-made, race, environmentalism, and its cynical attitude towards the American dream. The Great Gatsby is widely considered to be a literary masterpiece and a contender for the title of the Great American Novel.
