Go set a watchman / Lee, Harper 2015  Book
Lee, Harper Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication London, William Heinemann, 2015.
Description 278pOrange spine
Summary/Abstract This book is an historic literary event: the publication of a newly discovered novel, the earliest known work from Harper Lee, the beloved, bestselling author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, To Kill a Mockingbird. Originally written in the mid-1950s, Go Set a Watchman was the novel Harper Lee first submitted to her publishers before To Kill a Mockingbird. Assumed to have been lost, the manuscript was discovered in late 2014. Go Set a Watchman features many of the characters from To Kill a Mockingbird some twenty years later. Returning home to Maycomb to visit her father, Jean Louise Finch -- Scout -- struggles with issues both personal and political, involving Atticus, society, and the small Alabama town that shaped her. Exploring how the characters from To Kill a Mockingbird are adjusting to the turbulent events transforming mid-1950s America, Go Set a Watchman casts a fascinating new light on Harper Lee's enduring classic. Moving, funny and compelling, it stands as a magnificent novel in its own right.

Mera naam Gulab hai / Kolwankar, Sagar; Sablok, Shashi (Tr.) 2021  Book
Sablok, Shashi (Tr.) Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication Chennai, Tulika Publishers, 2021.
Description 32pPurple spine
Summary/Abstract Gulab’s classmates call her ‘Stinky Gulab’, and it’s not because she smells. Her father is a manual scavenger, made to clean drains and gutters with his bare hands, even today! “Why do you do it?!” asks Gulab angrily. With determination and a little help from science, she takes the first bold step towards change. Addressing a deep-rooted social evil, the story nudges young minds to question the inequality and indignity that other children like themselves have to face. Strong illustrations evoke the feisty Gulab as she refuses to let school bullies, or society, chip at her spirit.
