The literature talents of the world

There is no denying the fact that writing is a principled career and as such writers are treasured personalities in this transient world for their creativity and outstanding influence in the sky of history, culture, tradition and heritage. The books in the world are created by the authors who have actively inspired the people for acquiring knowledge and skills. I have tried to focus some important sides of some of the authors who are world famous and their contribution in world literature is remarkable. Books introduce us into the best society of human civilization. According to Emily Dickinson, each page of a book has prancing power with which we can travel over a long distance without oppress of toll and as such writers are the symbol of heritage and dignity of nationalism unquestionably.

The first time when I had sung the National Anthem self-possessed by Rabindranath Tagore, the rhythm and the tune buoyed my heart and magnified the love for Bangladesh. I started construing his short stories and poems, which he created for children gave me real pleasure.

Rabindranath Tagore

The major time when I had sung the National Anthem poised by Rabindranath Tagore, the cadence and the melody impressed my heart and magnified the love for Bangladesh. I started reading his short stories and poems, which he created for children gave me real pleasure. His power of simplification and showing the beauty of truth within little things for extensive exemplification for which my inquisitiveness feelings make him my favorite author.

The Tagore’s were of a well-educated and well-heeled family. Rabindranath Tagore was born in 7th May 1861 and died on 7th August 1941. His father, Devendranath, was one of the leaders of the Brahma Samaj. The poet’s early life had been in an atmosphere of religion and arts, literature, music and paintings. As an author, the trend of his life was early contemplated. He was brought up and taught on three languages- Sanskrit, Bengali and English.

Tagore’s literary life outspread over sixty years, and he reminds one of Victor Hugo in the copiousness and variety of his work: over one thousand poems; nearly two dozen plays and play-lets; eight novels; eight or more volumes of short stories; more than two thousands songs, of which he transcribed both the words and the music; and a mass of prose on literary, social, religious, political, and other topics. In addition to his English translations of some of his literary works; his paintings; his travels and lecture-tours in Asia, America, and Europe; and his goings-on as an educationist, as a social and religious reformer, and as a politician- and there we have, adjudged by magnitude alone, the life work of a Nipple. Suffice it to say that his genius was no more than the capacity for taking infinite pains; but to note the element of steel and concrete that went to his making, and thus to dispose of the legend, that has grown in some quarters in recent years, of Tagore the pale-lily poet of ladies’ table.

In 1901 he founded his school, the Santiniketan, at Bolpur as a protest against the prevailing evil system of education. The school was a great success and transfigured Viswabharati. On revisiting England in 1911 he fetched with him the English Gitanjali, and it’s publication in 1912 and the award of the Nobel Prize for literature the following year made him world-famous. This was the first accolade of that prize to an Asiatic. The rest of Tagore’s life had been spent at Santiniketan, excepting for several travels and lecture-tours in which he carried his message of human unity to the people of Asia, America and Europe.

Rabindranath Tagore was a proud and ardent patriot. His most intense period of political activity was in the years following 1905, when the agitation against the partition of Bengal was at its highest speed. He relinquished his knighthood in 1919 as protest against the Amritsar event in a letter to the Viceroy, which is among the great documents of freedom. His nationalistic poems and songs, predominantly the latter, have voted for into the communal legacy of his country; the song “Bharata-bhagya-vidata” is now hummed all over India and “Amar sonar Bangla” in Bangladesh as the national anthem. In this respect I would like to deliberate a few of his books which have stirred my heart towards having an unbounded pleasure of spiritual as well as real cultural life.

HOIMONTI

It is a remarkable short story where Rabindranath Tagore has tried to reflect a contrast between the two families comprising of conservatism and modernism. Hoimonti was educated in modern system of education where her father had influenced her by proper knowledge, culture, heritage and means to retaliate the real life situation. But as ill luck would have it, she was married with Opu, a son of conservative family. This family believed in superstitions and social customs. Opu’s father and mother had prejudice, which would influence Hoimonti tremendously. In the last Hoimonti was faded and her father-in-law was looking for another bride for his son.

BOLAI

This story is about a boy who doesn’t have a mother and was brought up by his aunt. He developed the character, which is different from his age group. He has an uncommon fondness towards the plants and trees. Bolai would not tolerate if anybody would weed out any plants and trees. He thought that every plant has a unique life, which is unknown to everybody. He showed all his love and sympathy even for the tree which grew in an unsuitable place. In the last his most favourite tree was cut down when his father took to Shimla for higher studies. Bolai’s aunt was shocked at the demolition of the tree, which she thought was the personification of Bolai.

SHESHER KABITA

It is a famous novel created by Tagore. The actress of the story is Labonno and the actor is Amit. The contrast and love affairs of them have been reflected in a significant manner. The book has the greatest literary value in the world.

Once she was introduced to Mini, the talkative girl who was five years old. The man has left his daughter who is of Mini’s age back home. Mini and Kabuliwala developed a very good friendship. Kabuliwala used to bring dry fruits for Mini as present and showed the patience of listening to Mini. They used to tease each other about “going to in-laws house”. For some reason the man has to go to prison for eight years. After coming from jail he wanted to meet Mini. But, at that time Mini’s marriage ceremony was going on. In the past eight years she has forgotten her friend

Kabuliwala. She was not friendly like her childhood and was feeling shy seeing him. Kabuliwala could feel the distance the time has passed between them and his daughter.

POSTMASTER

It is a short story by Rabindranath regarding a postmaster. The postmaster was transferred to a village post office of India. Here he met a girl named Ratan with whom he would always continue conversation hours after hours. One day the postmaster fell ill, Ratan has looked after him and in this way a close relationship was developed between them. When the postmaster was transferred to the town again the girl became shocked and she asked him to take her with him but the postmaster was not in a position to take her. Rattan lived with the sheer pain of the lovely memory; she had spent with the postmaster.

I like his books

I like Rabindranath’s book because I come to learn many things about the land, people and nature. We learn the problems, religion, culture and heritage of Bengali life. His books sometimes really create thrill, intuition and excitement for the readers by reflecting the social conflicts and contrast between conservative and modern educated people. Furthermore, his poetry ingrained in common life has been vividly contemplated in a significant manner , which stir my heart to a great extent.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

God has created lots of peoples in the universe. Different peoples have different creativity but such a man who has got thousands of creativities in one brain is really something. He is by born talented. The time I heard that there was a person like I was curious to know about him. After knowing about him he became my favourite.

A short account of the Author

MACBETH

In this book, there is no doubt that Macbeth is a tragic hero. The flow, which brings about his downfall, is ambition. The evil in him is symbolized by ambition and ambition was one of the main vices of the devil that brought about a mischievous destruction in the character of Macbeth where he had become boosted by being enterprises by the supernatural sprits. Shakespeare has treated ambition in this context as a pride, jealous and rebellion against the will of God. Macbeth had killed his just king for pelf and power and ultimately he inflicted the realms of frustration and the abuses of the people who were the silent evidences of his evil doings.

YOU LIKE IT

It is one of the Shakespeare’s finest comedies which has occupied a great space of pleasure, romanticism and the gist of the contrast between the two groups of the people who are the citizens of two different strategies of life. One seeks pleasure in midst of luxurious life and the other is accustomed to live in the forest of Arden where peace and tranquility of love under the Greenwood tree is very much based on illuminating conflagration. This play gives us plenty of gaiety, mirth and joyousness of romanticism. It keeps the readers happy and laughing most of the time because of the abundance in it of wit and humor. As you like it represents a number of characters that are the center point of the source of wit and humor. The Romantic Rosalind, Celia, Touchstone and cynical Jacques are the characters of the play who deal with wit and humor.

I Like His Books

The way Shakespeare writes his plays and books is unparalleled. His style of writing is totally different from others. As he is always exceptional to me and I have read many of his books so I should rather say that he is a great author.

FYODOR MIKHAILOVICH DOSTOYEVSKY

My Favourite Author is Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky

Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky is my favourite author. I like him because to me, no 19th-century author had greater psychosomatic insight or philosophical depth or as methodically plumbed the mysteries of the human soul in the field of human Psychic and spiritualistic ideology of real life phenomena.

A short Account of the Author

The Russian novelist Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky in  1881, stands at the very summit of Russian literature and is considered by many world famous personalities to have brought the Western novel to the peak of its possibilities. Sigmund Freud, for one, considered the treatment of patricide in The BROTHERS KARAMAZOV the equal of that of Shakespeare in Hamlet

The son of a Moscow military doctor who was assassinated by his serfs, Dostoyevsky grew up in materially comfortable but psychologically damaging circumstances. After finishing a military engineering education in 1843, he  had  forthwith  turned to literature.

• BROTHERS KAMRAMAZOV

The Brothers Karamazov was the last literary contribution and had been considered as the greatest novel. In it, Dostoyevsky presents four Karamazov Brothers—the passionate Dimitri, the highbrow Ivan, the numinous Alyson, and the misanthropic Smerdayakov.e dramatizes their fate, their relationship with their father, and the culpability they suffer because of his murder. The novel concerns with everything that Dostoyevsky struggled with during lifetime: faith and doubt, love of authority and hatred of it, sensuality abstinence, hatred of the human race and the love of it.

Crime and Punishment

Crime and Punishment (1866), is a psychological masterpiece by the Russian novelist Fyodor DOSTOYEVSKY, mixes such contemporary 19th-century themes as the anonymous, alienating power of society with the universal problems of crime, guilt, and redemption. Raskolnikov, an impoverished student in Saint Petersburg, kills and robs a grasping old woman pawnbroker, but his ostensible motives serve merely to introduce the author’s exploration of the nature of justice and truth. Raskolnikov ultimately decides to accept punishment through his love for the young prostitute Sonya, whose life is one of suffering and remorse.

Notes from the underground

The Underground (1864), a powerful work that is considered the philosophical testament of existentialism as well as the prologue to DOSTOYEVSKY’s great tragic novels. The Underground Man is a cynical denizen of St. Petersburg, alienated from his surroundings and his fellow man, who nevertheless poses a powerful challenge to the impersonal forces of rationalism, progress, and social engineering. He is an intransigent champion of free will.

The Idiot

The Idiot (1869; Eng.trans.,1913) portrays a morally blameless man, Prince ,whose Mishkin, whose innocent and simple nature and epileptic seizures cause him to be taken from a certain. His Christ like qualities, far from influencing those about him, is to be utterly incongruous in a sinful world. Nastasya Filipovna, who has been cruelly treated by a former lover, is attracted both to Mishkin and the evil Rogozin, and is unable to commit herself to either. When Rogozhjn kills her, Miskin’s allows him to be an unwitting accomplice in the murder.

The Possessed

DOSTOYEVSKY’s next novel, Besy (1872; The Possessed), earned him the permanent hatred of the radicals. Often regarded as the most brilliant political novel ever written, it interweaves two plots. One concerns Nikolay Stavrogin, a man with a void at the center of his being. In his younger years Stavrogin, in a futile quest for meaning, had embraced and cast off a string of ideologies, each of which has been adopted by different intellectuals mesmerized by Stavrogin’s personality. Shatov has become a Slavophile who, like Dostoyevsky himself, believes in the “God-bearing” Russian people. Existentialist critics (especially Albert Camus) became fascinated with Kirillov, who adopts a series of contradictory philosophical justifications for suicide. Most famously, Kirillov argues that only an utterly gratuitous act of self-destruction can prove that a person is free because such an act cannot be explained by any kind of self-interest and therefore violates all psychological laws. By killing himself without reason, Kirillov hopes to become the “man-god” and so provide an example for human freedom in a world that has denied Christ (the God-man).

I Like His Books

Since his death Dostoyevsky’s fame has continued to grow. None speaks more immediately to the mood and tone of the present century. In fact, it might be said that Western civilization in the second half of the 20th century has become “Dostoyevskian.”

CHARLES DICKENS

Dickens wide array of touching characters emphasizes the virtues of sacrifice, comprise, charity, and loyalty. The feelings for the poor, which he expresses in his stories, made me one of his fan and he became my favorite author.

Brief Account of the author

Charles Dickens was born in 1812 and is still a popular English novelist. He was born to John & Elizabeth Dickens in a small terraced house at 1-mile End terrace, Land port, Port Sea on 7th February 1872. The house is now a museum & houses, furniture of the and the couch on which he died. At the age of 5, his family moved to Chadman in Kent & then 5 years later to Camden

in London. In 1824,when his father was imprisoned for debt, he was sent to work at a Warren’ Blacking factory at Hunger ford market.

This was a very unhappy period in his life and when his father was released he attended day school. Three years after he commended work as a solicitor’s clerk, subsequently becoming a freelance reporter at Doctor’s Commons Courts. On 2nd April 1836, he married Catherine Hogarth the daughter

of his friend. He died in 1870. Now I will describe some of his literary work in short.

DESCRIBING SOME STORIES OF CHARLES DICKENS

DAVID COPPERFIELD

This is also a story of a contrast and Comedy of social conflicts. The author has tried to bring a strategy of life where there is joy, sorrows and happiness. The actors and the actress have met crisis and they have suffered a lot to a great extent. The lifestyles and monotonous pictures of David Copperfield have been discussed. The commitment met by David Copperfield was not true to his friend. Their friends have not sociably accepted his proposal to make wits and humor. For this he was dispersed and deviated from his friend’s circle and parents, which led his life miserable.

This story has been written in the background of French revolution. In every time, the crisis has been created and the fatal consequences have been vividly reflected. The main characters of the story are : Dr. Mannette, Sydney Cartoon, Lucy and Mr. Darnay. In this story, Ever Mondes’ brother who willingly tormented the happy life of Dr. Mannette and have victimized Dr. Manette to conspiracy.

The story is based on the family affairs of a businessman and his friends. Here the author has created crisis and has created o reflect their motives of lively-beings expansively. Mr. Bansberry and his friends were the main subject of the story. He married with a girl who did not agree in their affairs. But she agreed to marry to provide her brother in the workshop of Mr. Bansburry. She had revenged at last against her husband by making his workshop burnt by her brother and made his bank robbery. Due to the fact, it was a consequence of her conspiracy of long days against Mr. Bansburry.

OLIVER TWIST

It is the story of a young orphan boy whose life sketch has been reflected as the life of poverty and depression under nonchalance, remorse and dilapidated environment in England in the 1830’s. The story envisages the evil of the poor family of the time and the corruption of the people who were usually accustomed to work there. It also shows the depths of London’s crime with an emphasis on petty robbery and pick pocketing. The main evil character of the novel, Fagin, also referred to as “The Jew” is characterized as a money pincher with no true affections. His main goals are to exploit the people around him so he can better his station and strengthen his power. Oliver, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. Oliver represents all that is good in the society. He abhors the thought of stealing, violence, or mistreatment of any sort. The hate that Monks feels for Oliver and the greed he feels towards his inheritance eventually destroys him. The revenge that Sikes inflicts on Nancy drives him almost insane and eventually too accidental suicide.

I like his books

In his every novel, Charles Dickens has created crisis and described the consequences of his actors and actresses. I like this author’s books because he had created history in his novels and in the light of the history, the background of the stories has been highlighted as a process of resurrection of human beings.

SIR FRANCHISE BACON

Bacon, in the sense that his thirst for knowledge is incontestable. He was engrossed in every branches of knowledge. He was not only a mere essayist but also a pioneer of science. He was a man of towering and powerful observation and he used this gift for the study of man. He is clearly seen in his essays, sometimes as a teacher, sometimes as a philosopher, and moralist. For all these reasons I like him a lot.

Sir Franchise Bacon is much-admired as the ancestor of English Essays and the greatest prose- Wright of the Jacobean period. His essays are treasure house of worldly wisdom. They cover a very wide range and variety and they certainly provide abundant proof of the vast experience and worldly wisdom of man who wrote them.

This is a popular essay of Bacon. It deals with some of the most common experience of human life. Here Bacon takes a balanced view of the married and single life upon their merits and demerits of real life situation.
