The day broke gray and dull. The clouds hung heavily,
and there was a rawness in the air that suggested snow.
A woman servant came into a room in which a child was
sleeping and drew the curtains. She glanced mechanically
at the house opposite, a stucco house with a portico, and
went to the child’s bed.

“Moby-Dick” (1851) by Herman Melville follows the vengeful Captain Ahab as he leads the whaling ship Pequod on a fanatical quest to hunt down the elusive white whale, Moby Dick, who once took his leg. Narrated by Ishmael, a thoughtful sailor drawn to the sea, the novel blends high-seas adventure with profound philosophical musings on fate, obsession, and man’s struggle against nature. Ahab’s monomaniacal pursuit consumes him and his diverse crew-including the harpooner Queequeg, whose friendship with Ishmael highlights themes of brotherhood and otherness. Packed with digressions on whaling lore, biblical allegory, and existential dread, Moby-Dick builds to a catastrophic climax that questions the very nature of revenge and the limits of human understanding.

“The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” (1885) by Mark Twain follows the rebellious Huck Finn as he escapes his abusive father and embarks on a daring journey down the Mississippi River with Jim, a runaway slave. Through their raft adventures, the novel confronts the deep racial prejudices of the antebellum South while delivering biting satire of Southern society. Huck’s moral awakening—as he struggles between societal norms and his growing friendship with Jim—forms the heart of this groundbreaking American classic. Twain’s masterful use of vernacular speech and unflinching critique of hypocrisy cement the novel’s legacy as both a defining work of realism and a provocative examination of freedom, conscience, and humanity’s contradictions.
The Metamorphosis (1915) by Franz Kafka tells the surreal and tragic story of Gregor Samsa, a hardworking salesman who wakes up one day transformed into a giant insect.

Isolated in his room, Gregor struggles with shame, helplessness, and his family’s rejection until his lonely death, which they greet with relief. The novella explores themes of alienation, dehumanization, and the absurdity of existence, cementing Kafka’s reputation as a master of existential literature. The story’s unsettling blend of mundane detail and nightmarish fantasy has made it a timeless classic.

“Crime and Punishment” (1866) by Fyodor Dostoevsky plunges into the tormented mind of Rodion Raskolnikov, a broke ex-student in St. Petersburg who rationalizes murdering a greedy pawnbroker as a test of his “extraordinary man” theory. But after the brutal act, guilt and paranoia consume him, manifesting in feverish hallucinations and a cat-and-mouse game with the cunning investigator Porfiry. The novel’s tension coils tighter as Raskolnikov spirals between arrogance and despair, while encounters with other desperate souls-like the virtuous Sonia, a downtrodden sex worker-force him to confront morality and redemption. A psychological masterpiece, Dostoevsky’s tale dissects nihilism, suffering, and the possibility of spiritual rebirth through sin.

“मानस का हंस” लेखक अमृतलाल नागर का प्रतिष्ठित बृहद उपन्यास है। इसमें पहली बार व्यापक कैनवास पर “रामचरितमानस” के लोकप्रिय लेखक गोस्वामी तुलसीदास के जीवन को आधार बनाकर कथा रची गई है, जो विलक्षण के रूप से प्रेरक, ज्ञानवर्धक और पठनीय है। इस उपन्यास में तुलसीदास का जो स्वरूप चित्रित किया गया है, वह एक सहज मानव का रूप है। यही कारण है कि “मानस का हंस” हिन्दी उपन्यासों में ‘क्लासिक’ का सम्मान पा चुका है और हिन्दी साहित्य की अमूल्य निधि माना जाता है। नागर जी ने इसे गहरे अध्ययन और मंथन के पश्चात अपने विशिष्ट लखनवी अन्दाज़ में लिखा है। बृहद होने पर भी यह उपन्यास अपनी रोचकता में अप्रतिम है।
