Hi friends hope you all have a great day ahead….. I am back here to share information about great legend James Cleveland Owens. He was born on September 12, 1913 in Oak vile, a poor isolated Black-populated area in the U.S.A Father Henry Owens and Mother Emma were pious and calm people and Owes was their youngest child. He was admitted to the Boston Elementary School, and on the very first historic day during the roll-call, his name J.C.Owens was recorded as Jesse Owens by his teacher and got established so.

My Greatest Olympic Prize is a touching narration of how a rare friendship blossomed on the play fields of Berlin, the venue of 1936 Olympics between Jesse Owens of the U.S.A. and Luz Long of Germany – belonging to the rival camps of World War 2. The spirit of Luz Long is indeed heroic priceless and inspiring. Thanks and Regards.

Hi friends, here is short life story of Great Novelist George Orwell.
George Orwell is the pen name of Eric Arthur Blair, a British novelist, essayist and political writer. Born in India, he was educated in England. Being lonely and sensitive, Orwell had a very unhappy schooling; he was constantly reminded of his poverty. As soon as he completed his education in school, he took up a job in Burma Police Service. Within five years leaving his job he returned to England. The years that followed were miserable and it was during this period that Orwell worked as a part-time assistant in a London bookshop. He was accepted as a renowned writer with his publication of Animal Farm (1945), an allegorical novel. His most famous novel 1984 was published in 1949. He died a year later all of a sudden due to tuberculosis.

Bookshop Memories is about his experience in the bookshop where he had the opportunity of observing all kinds of customers, their eccentricity, and taste ands snobbery. His prose style which is “like a clear running stream” is evident in this essay. To be continued….. With Regards.

The government of Maharashtra awarded him the ‘Outstanding Teacher Award’ in 1971. He edited of science and scientists: An Anthology of Anecdotes.

Albert Einstein is and extract from of science and scientists: An Anthology of Anecdotes published in 1994. Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955) was a predominant German scientist. He was appointed a clerk in Patents Office in Bern in 1902. On completing a whole day’s work in two or three hours, he used the remaining office hours for his scientific pursuits. He married Milaca Maria and later Elsa. His domestic life was always pathetic. As an eminent scientist of the 20th century he published his theory of General Relativity in 1919. He was awarded the coveted Nobel Prize for his work on the photoelectric effect in 1921. He became an American Citizen in 1941.

Albert Einstein was a great scientist and a great humanist. He was unassuming and humble in word, deed and spirit throughout his life. His sense of humor is revealed in all his actions. He used to play the violin for enjoyment. Anecdotes in this extract reveal the noble qualities of a great physicist of our times. Every facet of his character is conspicuously brought out in this lesson. To be continued…. With regards.

Hi friends hope you all have a great day ahead…. Today I am going to share you all about John Milton. He is the god-gifted organ-voice of England belonged to an orthodox puritan family. He started writing poetry when he was twenty four. For him the nature and function of poetry was essentially religious. He obtained his M.A degree from Christ’s College, Cambridge and by the age of thirty, Milton had become the most learned man in the country. The death of his first two wives, his loss of sight, his insecurity caused by political changes and his imprisonment did not swerve him from his pursuit of poetry. His major works are Comes (1634), Lucida (1638), Paradise Lost (1667), and Samson Agonists (1671). Paradise Lost is an ambitiously designed poem in twelve books. It is the only completed epic in English and it narrates the Biblical tale of the Fall of Man which “brought death into the world, and all our woe” Adam and Eve, the first human beings created by god, lost the paradise because they ate the forbidden fruit in the garden of Eden; Eve succumbed to the wiles of the Devil, and Adam yielded to Eve’s persuasion. To be continued….. With Regards.

Hi friends, today I am going to share you all about the greatest war poet Wilfred Owen. He was one of the greatest war poets. He conveys the futility and devastation caused by war most movingly in his verse. When World War I broke out, Owen got enlisted in the army and was wounded in the war-front. He was awarded the military Cross for “conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty” in 1918. After getting healed, he was called back to war and killed in action just a week before the war came to an end.

Unlike the other poets, who picture war as a great call to nobility, heroism and adventure, Owen sees the cruelty of it and exposes its dehumanizing ugliness and miseries, with an authenticity of his personal experiences. In the preface to the projected volume of his poems, Owen says, “Above all, I am not concerned with poetry” My subject is war and the pity of war. My poetry is in the pity of it.”

Strange Meeting narrates the vision or a dream, in which the narrator meets a German soldier, whom he had killed the previous day. The dead soldier is sad because he cannot now tell the world the truth about war and the folly of glorifying it. The poem is dramatic and every line throbs with emotion and sincerity. Thanks and regards.
