Between the Lines: A Critical Reader caters to diverse themes across literature, cut across different countries and writers. Some of them are alienation, identity, death, society, anxiety, depression, romance, miscommunication, madness, women, dreams, escape, disillusionment, displacement, eco-spiritual, history, crime, gander, class struggle and third gander etc.The volume does not try to group them under certain categories, as a single chapter can be read and understood as the intertext of others in which the themes often overlapped.The chapters often try to read a new area of interest in literature under enquiry. However, at times they also look into their conventional understanding not for re-enforcement, rather to re-read and deviate from them for novelty.

This is the story about a union leader turned politician and became a MP, who started blackmailing the people to take his personal revenge. Story unfolds and you will find how a common man, Jayant Hasija and a trained security personal Deepa Chopra fights for their lives and takes the Blackmailer up to the Justice and his fate.You will read that how the government works when its own Member of Parliament involved in the serious crime like blackmailing and murder.This is a start to finish read story in one sitting. From this book: "Mr. Jayant Hasija, If you do not pay me Rupees 2 Cr. in the next 48 hours, I will kill you after noon on Friday! Check your emails for instructions.OK, here is the deal. You pay me 2 Cr. (details of bank account to follow) within 48 hours and you get to live. If for any reason, I don't get that money, you die by noon on Friday. I appreciate this is a shock and perhaps you are wondering if I am serious. Please see attached photos.Regards, BobbyPS: Usually blackmailers tell you not to call the police etc. etc. This is both boring and unproductive as people always do. Feel free to call the police or anyone else you care to, the fact is it will take you 48 hours to persuade them that this isn't a wind up and by then you will either have paid me or be awaiting your fate."

The volume Kritikós: A Reflection on Literature and Culture is the outcome of literary research projects of students and teachers of the Department of English, School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Assam Don Bosco University, Assam, India.The critical readings included in this volume are response to, and re-reading of, varied themes like patriarchy, absurdity, dream, human psychology, violence, identity, environment, language, magic realism, religion and digital humanities that substantiate literature across the time and globe. Accordingly, texts like Terrible Matriarchy, The Birthday Party, Of Mice and Men, Paradise, Norwegian Woods, These Hills Called Home, Purple Hibiscus, The Lowland, Kafka in the Shore etc. have been re-assessed here from the understanding of new critical minds.

This volume, Analytica : Practising Criticism, is a collection of research works. The areas reflected upon and interpreted include some of the highly charged issues of modern world- partition impact, identity crisis, narration and narrative technique, feminism, comparative studies, postcolonial and neo-colonial issues, modern men-women relationship, alienation and existentialism - in the fictions catered around the world, particularly post-independent India, Australia, Canada and Europe. The issues revisited are so discursive, which in fact suggest the representation of the paradoxical complexity of the modern day world, that any attempt to give a thematic unity is self defeating. Therefore, considering the heterogeneity of the writings as an enabling phenomenon, that is considering it as an opportunity to experience the discursive world, the content has been given a shape of disorder. In discursivity, the volume is a happy read.

Classical myths serve many purposes.First,they appear real to life. Life is both a fact and fiction. The classical myth has this manifestation in terms of primordial gods and goddess like Uranus, Gaia, Hades, Either and Oceanus besides many others who are both ideas and individuals. Secondly, the same repository of myth has served psychological metaphors until modern period. The ideas developed by Sigmund Freud regarding human psychology and behaviour based on the stories of Electra and Oedipus keep on resonating time and again to understand general human nature. Thirdly, considering the examples drawn by Albert Camus in in the book ¿The Myth of Sisyphus¿and Friedrich Nietzsche in the essay ¿Apollonianism and Dionysianism,¿for instance, from the classical myths to explain certain philosophical insights, it testifies the intellectual potentiality of the stories. It may be also noted that the classical civilization has remained still one of the driving forces behind many other civilizations, the western civilization in particular, primarily because of its mastery over myth creation and the potential of the myths to get circulated and regenerated over the generations.

This book provides an upto date information on metric, connection and curva- ture symmetries used in geometry and physics. More specifically, we present the characterizations and classifications of Riemannian and Lorentzian manifolds (in particular, the spacetimes of general relativity) admitting metric (i.e., Killing, ho- mothetic and conformal), connection (i.e., affine conformal and projective) and curvature symmetries. Our approach, in this book, has the following outstanding features: (a) It is the first-ever attempt of a comprehensive collection of the works of a very large number of researchers on all the above mentioned symmetries. (b) We have aimed at bringing together the researchers interested in differential geometry and the mathematical physics of general relativity by giving an invariant as well as the index form of the main formulas and results. (c) Attempt has been made to support several main mathematical results by citing physical example(s) as applied to general relativity. (d) Overall the presentation is self contained, fairly accessible and in some special cases supported by an extensive list of cited references. (e) The material covered should stimulate future research on symmetries. Chapters 1 and 2 contain most of the prerequisites for reading the rest of the book. We present the language of semi-Euclidean spaces, manifolds, their tensor calculus; geometry of null curves, non-degenerate and degenerate (light like) hypersurfaces. All this is described in invariant as well as the index form.
