Digital designs

A small book written by a College teacher with a service of 10 years. She has presented the subject so simply and most challengingly to reach the young learners. The book talks with you, page after page explaining complicated things so lucidly.
Within just 112 pages the author hinted many matters to study.

Alexander the great


Our co-blogger SakunthalaVaiyavan has suggested Alexander the great was her hero. I appreciate that answer. Indeed the small book which we have published deals with many of Alexander's heroic activities. Alexander was the only example for sheer bravery. Heroes had born after him but none could equal him in valor and sense of commitment to culture. He was not just a brutal leader who massacred for the joy of killing and victory. His intuitive reverence for Kingship is understood by his dealing with Porus the Indian King. Yogesh Mithra, the author beautifully portrayed his life in a sweet and simple manner. Giving a second revision at the end he recapitulates Alexander's life.

Her sensible induction to the Orwellian world and art makeus read back them with renewed interest. How can we predict the totalitarianism is once for all over and ideological passions end up? They might take new forms. Then we may need George Orwell’s books and Vasuki’s this brilliant interpretation. Might be this book would help as a gateway to understand both the totalitarianism and the Saintliness of Orwell to deal with them. So congrats Vasuki for your wonderful job!Published in Demy Size with 104 pages the price was just Rs.40/=
