Story
This collection brings together stories and reflections in which Leo Tolstoy turns inward. Stripped of grandeur, these works offer something more intimate: the inner noise of conscience, the weight of faith, the silence before death. A servant's silence, a horse's memory, a dying man's doubt—these are not performances. They are questions, waiting quietly for whoever dares to ask the same. Tolstoy isn't offering answers. He's writing toward something deeper. And the questions haven't aged a day.

A few weeks after the 2016 election, at Thanksgiving with his daughter’s family, Rhys Kinnick snapped. After an escalating fight about politics, he hauled off and punched his conspiracy theorist son-in-law. Horrified by what he'd done, by the state of the country and by his own spiraling mental health, Rhys chucked his smartphone out a car window and fled for a cabin in the woods, off the grid and with no one around—except a pack of hungry raccoons. Now, seven years later, Kinnick’s old life is about to land right back on his crumbling doorstep.

आज से करीब आठ सौ वर्ष पहले जन्मे रूमी ने धर्म, देश और काल की सभी बाधाओं को लांघ कर अपनी रुबाइयों और गुज़लों से। ऐसा सूफ़ीवाद फैलाया कि वे संसार के सभी देशों में, विशेषकर अमेरिका में, सबसे अधिक पढे । जाने वाले कवि माने जाते हैं। उनका सूफ़ियाना कलाम सैकड़ों वर्षों से लोकप्रिय है। उनके शब्दों ने विभिन्न संस्कृतियों वाले पाठकों के मन को एक समान छुआ है। आध्यात्मिक प्रेम के सहज अतिरेक और उसके वैभव से जितना समृद्ध हमें रूमी ने किया है, उतना और कोई नहीं कर सका है।

Marking the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth, What Matters in Jane Austen? solves the mysteries of Austen’s fictional world. Jane Austen’s novels have been a staple of the English canon since the nineteenth century. Yet critics of the time did not appreciate the true complexity of her work. Nothing, John Mullan argues, is accidental or coincidental in Austen. As Austen herself said, she wrote for readers who have "a great deal of ingenuity themselves."
