About the Book
This book seeks to explore the universe of Doris Lessing’s groundbreaking novel Children of Violence. Lessing’s work delved into human relations and its different aspects, marked by human dignity, morals-high and low, individual liberty. Her objectives underline the duality of violence and conflict. Martha Quest: an adolescent who scorns her parents is her protagonist. The book gives the readers an idea of what a child goes through when born in such a condition. She is torn between the important crossroads that come in her life time and again—social, political, and sexual—and her eternal try to strike a balance.

About the Book
William Butler Yeats is widely considered to be one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century. Yeats was deeply involved in politics in Ireland, and in the twenties, despite Irish independence from England, his verse reflected pessimism about the political situation in his country. His work after 1910 was strongly influenced by Pound, becoming more modern in its concision and imagery, but Yeats never abandoned his strict adherence to traditional verse forms. He had a life-long interest in mysticism and the occult. Most of Yeats poetry, however, used symbols from ordinary life and from familiar traditions, and much of his poetry in the 1890s continued to reflect his interest in Irish subjects. During this decade he also became increasingly interested in poetic techniques. This book W B Yeats as a Poet gives us a fair idea about his work, beliefs, and also his life.

About the Book
Pygmalion is the most appealing of all Shaws plays. Based on classical myth, Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion plays on the complex business of human relationships in a social world. Like most of Shaw’s plays this too is a didactic play. That is, its meant to teach the audience about something. Pygmalion is so tightly constructed which doesn’t have a happy ending; in fact it doesn’t even have a proper hero. Professor Henry Higgins under his supervision tutors Eliza Doolittle, not only in the refinement of speech, but also in the refinement of her manner. When the end result produces a very ladylike Miss Doolittle, the lessons learned become much more far reaching. The successful musical My Fair Lady was based on this Bernard Shaw classic.
