Time Stops at Shamli
Ruskin Bond’s simple characters, living amidst the lush forests of the Himalayan foothills, are remarkable for their quiet heroism, courage and grace, and age-old values of honesty and fidelity. Residents of nondescript villages and towns, they lead lives that are touched by natural beauty as well as suffering—the loss of a loved parent, unfulfilled dreams, natural calamities, ghostly visitations, a respected teacher turned crooked, strangers who make a nuisance of themselves—which only reinforces their abiding faith in God, family and neighbour. Told in Bond’s distinctive style, these stories are a magnificent evocation of an India that may be fast disappearing.

Pratapgadavar Faster Fene (प्रतापगडावर फास्टर फेणे)
ज्येष्ठ साहित्यिक भा. रा. भागवत यांच्या लेखणीतून साकारलेल्या फास्टर फेणे या साहस वीराची आणखी एक साहस कथा जे अवतरलं ७०-८० च्या काळात. हे पात्र जरी काल्पनिक असलं तरी त्या समस्या सोडवण्याची त्याची क्षमता विलक्षण आहे. फास्टर फेणे हा मराठीतला सगळ्या मुलांचा लाडका हिरो. नेहमी कुठल्या ना कुठल्या गोष्टीत तो अडकतो . किंवा त्याच्या निरीक्षणशक्तीमुळे काही गोष्टी त्याला खटकतात आणि मग सुरु होतो एक शोध ! बऱ्याच वर्षांपूर्वीची गोष्ट आहे ही. प्रतापगड त्या दिवशी झिणझिणत होता. त्यानंतर अवघ्या तीन तासांत पृथ्वीच्या पोटात जे काही घडले, त्यामुळे माझ्या या विधानाला आणखीनच बळकटी येते आणि तरी त्या क्षणाला थोडीच कुणाला कल्पना होती? पण थांबा. अशी एकदम फास्टर फेणेसारखी उडी मारणे बरे नाही. ज्या वेळचे त्या वेळी सांगावे हेच बरे. प्रतापगडाला झिणझिण्या येत होत्या असे म्हणण्याचे माझे कारण आपले दर्शनी अन् आलंकारिक आहे. मुंग्यांची रांगच रांग किल्याच्या पाठीवरून चढत होती. काळ्या-तांबड्या नाही. पांढऱ्या शुभ्र धावऱ्या-चावऱ्या मुंग्यांची रांग. म्हणजे दुरून पाहणाऱ्याला त्या पांढऱ्या मुंग्या वाटल्या असत्या. किंवा फार तर मुंगळे. खरे तर ते पुण्याच्या विद्याभवन हायस्कूलचे मुलगे होते. त्यांच्यातला तो स्कॉलरब्रुव शरद शास्त्री, जन्या जोशी नि चकोर देशमुख, सुभाष देसाई वगैरे काही नग तुम्हांला माहीत असतील. निदान तो शेवटला नंबर तरी. कारण सुभाष ज्याचा जानी दोस्त तो किडकिडीत तुडतुडीत पळ्या पोर तुमचाही जानी दोस्त आहे. किंबहुना त्याच्याचसाठी तर हे सारे महाभारत मला लिहावे लागतेय. तो हो! याच विद्याभवनमधला-बनेश ऊर्फ फास्टर फेणे! प्रतापगड चढणाऱ्या त्या मुंगळ्यांमध्ये बारीक कंबरेचा हा वाळकुडा मुंगळाही आहेच. पण तो केव्हाच छलांग मारून फर्लांग पुढे गेला आहे. तो पाहा तिळाएवढा बारीक ठिपका... दिसला? आणि तो मागून चढणारा दुसरा पांढरा तीळ म्हणजे सुभाष देसाई. आपल्या मित्राच्या मागे तोही कडमडत गेलाय. सुभाषची स्पीड अर्थात बन्याच्या मानाने ‘नॉन’ असली, तरी हा गोरा गुटगुटीत मुलगाही कमी तरतरीत नि धाडसी नाही. तसा तो नसता, तर फास्टर फेणेचा कंठमणी बनलाच नसता.

Beetles And Other Friends
In the insect world you will find: Cicadas that carry their own drums within their bodies Ants that keep pet blights in their nests, so they can suck out their sweet juices, much as we milk cows and goats Spiders that use web strings to swing from—just like a favourite action hero And many more fascinating and bizarre facts about these tiny beings that live among us. Ruskin Bond’s books on nature have delighted readers for generations. Here, he writes about some astonishing six-legged, compound-eyed creatures. He describes many insects (and a few that are not) and the way they live, mate, camouflage, sing, catch their prey, and bring up their young. He fills the pages with amazing descriptions in his uniquely witty style— from the butterfly’s life cycle, where the caterpillar eats until it bursts out of its skin, to dragonflies that accelerate to 60 miles an hour mid-air, to the reasons why crickets and grasshoppers trill merrily in their green homes. Filled with beautiful and cheerful colour illustrations, Beetles and Other Friends brings alive a glorious and intriguing world that we rarely stop to observe.

Tisara Dola (तिसरा डोळा)
तिसरा डोळा' हे शीर्षक विज्ञानकेंद्राच्या बिंदूची वेगळी ओळख करून देण्यासाठी कादंबरीच्या आशयगर्भ चिंतनातून प्रकटलेले दिसते. सर्वसाधारणपणे शरीररचनेतील बाह्यचक्षूद्वारे होणारे निरीक्षण हे निव्वळ डोळ्यातील असणाऱ्या मांसल गोळ्यांनी केलेले ठरते. पण दोन गोळ्यांच्या व्यतिरिक्त एक तिसरा डोळा जो अदृश्य स्वरूपामध्ये आपल्या आत सत्याला शोधण्यासाठी कार्यरत असतो. मानसिकतेने, कल्पकतेने, सैद्धांतिक तत्त्वज्ञानाने, निरीक्षणाने अनुभूतीने आंदोळत असतो तो म्हणजे 'तिसरा डोळा'. हा तिसरा डोळा बाह्यचक्षूप्रमाणे निव्वळ गोळा नसून तो अनेक संवेदना केंद्रांनी प्रस्फुटित होणारा धांडोळा असतो. ही तिसऱ्या डोळ्याची कमाल या बालकादंबरीच्या शीर्षस्थानातून गर्भागारात आणि समारोपात प्रवेश करीत जाताना दिसते. या कादंबरीतील नायक 'विस्मय' या नावाने वाचकांसमोर येतो. या नायकाचे नाव एका बालकाच्या भूमिकेतून कादंबरीमध्ये कथानकासाठी प्रवेशित असले तरी विस्मय ही एक तत्त्वचिंतनपर असणारी प्रवृत्ती संपूर्ण मानवतेच्या शोधजाणिवेला स्पर्श करणारी प्रवृत्ती ठरते. या कादंबरीतील संवादाचे वैशिष्ट्य म्हणजे वाचकाला सर्व पात्रे आपल्या नजरेसमोर प्रत्यक्षात चलचित्राप्रमाणे दिसू लागतात. लेखकाची खरी कसोटी किंवा ताकद ही संवादाच्या मांडणीतून कथानक प्रवाहित करणे आणि फुलवणे यात असते. त्यामुळे विलास मोरे हे या बालवैज्ञानिक कादंबरीला न्याय देण्याच्या अनुषंगाने पुरेपूर प्रयत्न करताना दिसतात. त्यामुळे लेखक म्हणून त्यांच्या शुद्ध भूमिकेसाठी त्यांना अनेकोत्तम शुभेच्छा देतो. - प्रा. डॉ. म. सु. पगारे
