A tale of two cities by Charles dickens. Dickens is regarded as the most important novelist of Victorian age and his novel a tale of two cities is regarded as a classic anti war fiction. Drawing heavily upon the war between England and France, this novel shows the collapse of the meta narrative of progress and western civilization. The war mongers are condemned in this novel and the opening lines of the novel have become classic. This novel is a swansong and masterwork of genius. The present book attempts to describe the deeper meaning inherent in the novel and tries to analyse it from various angles.

Waiting for godot. Hailed as a classic of postmodern drama and also as a successful absurd play , Samuel Beckett shows the predicament of hollow human beings on earth. It is also a rare existential gem that moved the hardcore criminals of France and the play is memorable because of its blending of pathos and bleak comedy. The concept of a human being as a solitary individual is shown in this play with all its oddities and vain attempts to survive. The play exhibits the extreme core of every human being who is forced to live in an alien universe. The present book attempts to describe the deeper meaning inherent in the play and dissects it from multiple points of view.

About death of a salesman. Hailed as a classic modern tragedy, Arthur miller redefined the contours of modern American drama in his play death of a salesman. Miller vivisects the ills of the concept of the great American dream where everyone wants to become extraordinarily rich. Miller punctures the cult of materialism in this play. The present book attempts to analyse this great work from many different standpoints.

Since the beginning of 2nd half of 20th century various critical theories came into existence and every student and teacher of literature was influenced by those theories which were basically addressing the demands of other social sciences. But theoretical schools of western part of the world also inspired colonial and postcolonial reimagining. The present book employs many of those theories without being obscure or ambiguous. The book gets a wider value because the writer expresses his views,reviews,interviews and critical essays which are theory oriented. An extra value of the book is that author here also plays the role of a translator. And last but not the least the robust language plays a great job here and the domain is world literature.
