BOOK REVIEW: SMOKE

BOOK REVIEW: SMOKE

Posted June 13, 2013 by @amanhimself in Reviews / 0 Comments

SMOKE by Nigel Bird I finished this book today. There is no doubt that it is a hard read if you’re a sensitive person. I mean to say it features Scottish gangland brutality, often to the young or to women, and there are scenes of dog-fighting. It’s not a fun read. However, it depends on what you want from your reading. It was quite a new way of fiction for me. This book was no delight for me, but it might turn out for you. I have not experienced with the author’s other works and I feel reluctant to judge him by this novella. I won’t be spoiler as it’s a short read. I would still recommend this in case you’re interested […]

AUTHOR OF THE MONTH- GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

AUTHOR OF THE MONTH- GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

Posted June 11, 2013 by @amanhimself in Books / 0 Comments

  Born in Dublin, Ireland, Shaw never took part in the Irish Literary Revival. He wrote over fifty plays and almost every one of them is dramatized. He started his career as a novelist and as a critic of music and drama. His interest in Henry George, Karl Marx and other social theorists led to his affiliation with the Fabian Socialists. In 1884, he among with few others founded the Fabian Society. There was a time he gave up everything to study Marxism. He spent his free time in the British Museum educating himself on Shakespeare and other great writers. Spiritually and morally he had the strength of  a giant, his passion for justice and his appetite for hard work. […]

REVIEW FOR THE JAZZ: THE GREAT GATSBY

REVIEW FOR THE JAZZ: THE GREAT GATSBY

Posted June 3, 2013 by @amanhimself in classics, Fiction, Reviews / 0 Comments

    Review by Aman Mittal THE GREAT GATSBY by F.Scott Fitzgerald I read the book over the last weekend and spent quite a time as it length would not suggest. Some would say its a tragic love story with crime and corrupted minds. But I say its a very close resemblance to Fitzgerald’s own life, especially his struggle for his own love. That is the main theme. The story starts with Nick Carraway’s narration when he visits his cousin, Daisy. Nick, is an exceptionally mild person to the point of being dull. But through this narration framed in the thoughts of an exceedingly dull person Fitzgerald creates characters and lays out scenes that are vivid and bright and engaging. By coincidence […]

THE YELLOW HOUSE

THE YELLOW HOUSE

Posted May 16, 2013 by @amanhimself in MyWorks / 0 Comments

THE YELLOW HOUSE: an appreciation for an art by Aman Mittal STANDING beside the only lamppost on the corner of the street, I took a glance over with big Yellow House. It was as yellow as it could be but the surface looked as smooth as butter. Made in Victorian fashion, it was obvious the roof top would be either crimson red or dull red in colour but this one was crimson red. The windows were quite French, painted in green as was the interior. How could one see the interior, well the windows were always open at this time of the day. But I could never see any movement up there. Not a single soul. Neighboring that house, designed […]

APRIL BOOK OF MONTH-THE METAMORPHOSIS

Posted April 26, 2013 by @amanhimself in classics, Fiction, Reviews / 5 Comments

The Metamorphosis (Die Verwandlung) is a novella by Franz Kafka, first published in 1915. It is often cited as one of the seminal works of fiction of the 20th century and is widely studied in colleges and universities across the Western world. The story begins with a traveling salesman, Gregor Samsa, waking to find himself transformed into a monstrous vermin. Although Kafka wrote many stories on animals but this book is the only one where an animal is an insect.It is a tragedy but it is not an ordinary tragedy. The style and plot are simple and nothing is complex accept the fact that the a human has transformed itself to a bug. Character of Gregor Samsa is a very […]

AN ILLUSION: a story of a Painter

An Illusion: A Story of a Painter By Aman Mittal The gloom of the darkness and the heaviness of the rainfall had added another load of misery as he already had one.’People are always happy,’ he thought, carrying the overweight of misery on his shoulders, ‘And they become happier, day by day. And me. My load of miser is only getting more and no less. Even the single droplet of rain is incrementing the load by a ton. And this darkness makes the road hard and uncomfortable to travel. What am I to do? What wrong have I done? Whose fault is this?’ And with a long sigh he took a half crumbled cigarette out of his wet pocket which […]
