The Multiverse of Office Fiction: Bartlebys at Work English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031126874 | 331 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 5 MB The Multiverse of Office Fictionliberates Herman Melville's 1853 classic, "Bartleby, the Scrivener," from a microcosm of Melville studies, namely the so-called Bartleby Industry. This book aims to illuminate office fiction-fiction featuring office workers such as clerks, civil servants, and company employees-as an underexplored genre of fiction, by addressing relevant issues such as evolution of office work, integration of work and life, exploitation of women office workers, and representation of the Post Office. In achieving this goal, Bartleby plays an essential role not as one of the most eccentric characters in literary fiction, but rather as one of the most generic characters in office fiction. Overall, this book demonstrates that Bartleby is a generative figure, by incorporating a wide diversity of his cousins as Bartlebys. It offers fresh contexts in which to place these characters so that it can ultimately contribute to an ever-evolving poetics of the office.

Bibek Debroy (Tr.), "The Mahabharata (Set of 10 Volumes)" English | 2015 | ISBN: 0143424785 | EPUB | pages: 8892 | 25.2 mb Dispute over land and kingdom may lie at the heart of this story of war between cousins the Pandavas and the Kouravas but the Mahabharata is about conflicts of dharma. These conflicts are immense and various, singular and commonplace. Throughout the epic, characters face them with no clear indications of what is right and what is wrong; there are no absolute answers. Thus every possible human emotion features in the Mahabharata, the reason the epic continues to hold sway over our imagination. In this superb and widely acclaimed translation of the complete Mahabharata, Bibek Debroy takes on a great journey with incredible ease.

Finer, "The Life and Times of Sir Edwin Chadwick " English | ISBN: 1138201367 | 2016 | 555 pages | PDF | 40 MB First published in 1952, this is a full-scale and definitive account of the life and work of Sir Edwin Chadwick.
