Love Letters Of Great Men
From the private papers of Mark Twain and Mozart to those of Robert Browning and Nelson, Love Letters of Great Men collects together some of the most romantic letters in history. For some of these great men, love is a ‘delicious poison’ (William Congreve); for others, ‘a nice soft wife on a sofa with good fire, & books & music’ (Charles Darwin). Love can scorch like the heat of the sun (Henry VIII), or penetrate the depths of one’s heart like a cooling rain (Flaubert). Every shade of love is here, from the exquisite eloquence of Oscar Wilde and the simple devotion of Robert Browning, to the wonderfully modern misery of the Roman Pliny the Younger, losing himself in work to forget how much he misses his beloved wife, Calpurnia. Taken together, these Love Letters of Great Men show that perhaps men haven’t changed so very much over the last 2,000 years; passion, jealousy, hope and longing are all represented here – as is the simple pleasure of sending a letter to, and receiving one from, the person you love most.

Kautiliya Arthashastra (कौटिलीय अर्थशास्त्र)
पहिले मौर्य सम्राट चंद्रगुप्त यांचे धुरंधर सल्लागार, कौटिल्य म्हणजेच चाणक्य यांनी एका आदर्श शासकासाठी एक सर्वसमावेशक ग्रंथ तयार केला. अर्थशास्त्र हा राज्यकारभार, आर्थिक धोरण आणि लष्करी रणनीती यांचा एक उत्कृष्ट नमुना आहे. यामध्ये खजिन्याचे व्यवस्थापन आणि गुप्तहेरांना ओळखण्यापासून ते युद्ध, मुत्सदेगिरी आणि राजाच्या कर्तव्यांपर्यंत सर्व गोष्टींचा समावेश आहे. या ग्रंथाची बौद्धिक झेप थक्क करणारी आहे, ज्यात राज्याला सजीवासमान मानले आहे, ज्याचे संरक्षण कुशल मुत्सद्देगिरी आणि कठोर अंतर्गत सुव्यवस्थेद्वारे करणे आवश्यक आहे. त्यांना अनेकदा 'इंडियन मॅकियाव्हेली' म्हटले जाते. जरी ते या इटालियन विचारवंतांपेक्षा हजारो वर्षांहून अधिक काळ आधी होऊन गेले असले, तरी चाणक्यांची दृष्टी अधिक व्यापक आहे. ते 'दंड' (शिक्षा) या कठोर वास्तवाला प्रजेच्या कल्याणासोबत संतुलित करतात. भारतीय राजकीय विचारांचा हा एक पायाभूत ग्रंथ आहे, जो एक महान साम्राज्य कसे उभारले आणि टिकवले जाते यावर एक परिपक्व दृष्टीकोन देतो.
