Cyrano de Bergerac is a play written in 1897 by Edmond Rostand. There was a real Cyrano de Bergerac, and the play is a fictionalisation following the broad outlines of his life. The entire play is written in verse, in rhyming couplets of twelve syllables per line, very close to the classical alexandrine form, but the verses sometimes lack a caesura. It is also meticulously researched, down to the names of the members of the Académie française and the dames précieuses glimpsed before the performance in the first scene. The play has been translated and performed many times, and it is responsible for introducing the word "panache" into the English language.[1] Cyrano (the character) is in fact famed for his panache, and he himself makes reference to "my panache" in the play. The two most famous English translations are those by Brian Hooker and Anthony Burgess.--Wikipedia, The Heritage Press, 1954, 3, New York: Crown Publishers, 1991. First Edition. Hard Cover.

The first Canadian edition, consisting of a first edition Jonathan Cape book with a Clarke, Irwin dust jacket, priced at $2.10. "Alan Paton's second novel is as powerful as his first. Indeed it surpasses 'Cry, the Beloved Country' in both the effectiveness of its technique and the emotional intensity of its theme. The setting is again South Africa, but the tragedy this time is of a white man who for complicated reasons, some of them not unconnected with his childhood and training, succumbs to the very temptations he might have been thought strong enough to resist. His downfall is recorded by his father's sister who watched the train of events, half foreseeing the disaster yet unable to prevent it, and now in anguish blames herself. Though the story could have had no other setting than South Africa, its application is universal, and certainly its poignancy does not depend on its geographical situation."

[EAN: 9788179928196], Neubuch, [PU: Jaico Publishing House], My Experiments with Truth: An Autobiography: 1 is an autobiography of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, one of the most-iconic figures in Indian history. In this book, he recounts his journey from being Mohandas to becoming the Mahatma and also recollects the various incidents that lead him to develop the ideology of Ahimsa. Written in the form of essays, the book is a detailed account of his beliefs and actions and lets people have a deeper understanding about his chosen path. The author was an ardent follower of God and in the book he has covered the topic in great detail, mentioning time and again that he intended to attain God through his service to mankind. It was with this deep-rooted belief in God that he chose ahimsa, the path of nonviolence. The book is divided into 5 parts covering his childhood, his adolescent experiments at drinking, smoking, stealing and eating meat; his early marriage at the age of 13 years; and his education and career which took him to Africa. It was a lawsuit in Africa that brought him popularity within the Indian Community. It was in Africa that he first experimented with the powerful weapon of Satyagraha, which was to later change the face of the Indian struggle for independence. My Experiments with Truth: An Autobiography: 1 is a collection of his weekly essays that was published in Navjivan from 1925-1929. The first edition of this book was published by Jaico Publishing House in 2008 and is available in paperback format. Key Features: The book is a summation of his essays written in the Yerawada jail and published in the Navjivan journal from 1925-29. The book has sold a million copies worldwide and has been translated into numerous languages all around the world since its release., Books<
