          The Best Of Ruskin Bond

           

Reading any book by Ruskin Bond is exhilarating and refreshing. It sublimely touches deeper layers of one’s psyche. This Book is a collection of poems, essays, short stories, extracts from novels, travel experiences, and an unpublished novella “Delhi is not far”.

“Delhi is not far” is an ode to their hopeful dreams about the fabled journey to Delhi, the city of glorious destinies.

The story is about a love affair in which there are no losers. It scrutinizes the depth of human relationships beyond blood and lineage.

  THINGS FALL APART Introduction:-                  Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, which was released in 1958, is arguably the most accurate account of life in Nigeria around the turn of the 20th century. Even though the book's initial publication came two years before Nigeria gained its independence. Stage, radio, and television adaptations of the book have all been made. The book is used as a textbook in many different sorts of anthropological classes by teachers in high schools, colleges, and graduate schools. The title of the book, which combines history and social studies with comparative literature, is taken from a line in the Irish poet, essayist, and dramatist W. B. Yeats's poem "The Second Coming" - “Turning and turning in the widening gyre  The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.”   Brief History Of Nigeria:-                 Nigeria is a country on the west coast of Africa, j
