Letters to a Teacher
This remarkable book was written for the parents of the Italian poor. But it is about poor everywhere: their anger is the anger of every worker and peasant who sees middle-class children absorbed effortlessly into schools as teacher’s favorites.
Eight young Italian boys from the mountains outside Florence wrote this passionate and eloquent book. It took them a year. Simple and clearly, with some devastating statistical analysis of the Italian education system, they set out to show the ways in which attitudes towards class, behavior, language and subject-matter militates against the poor. They describe too, the reforms they propose, and the methods they use in their own school - the School of Barbiana, started under the guidance of a parish priest and now run entirely by the children.
Letter to a Teacher was a best seller in Italy and has been published subsequently in many languages.

Original Letters from India
Of the rare contemporary works, which throw light on the social life of the Calcutta of Warren Hastings and Sir Philp Francis one of the rarest and certainly the most interesting is the Original Letters of Mrs. Fay. The book introduces Mrs. Fay and her husband to us on 18th April 1779, and in July 1795, the narrative leaves her, at a low ebb in her fortunes.
Mrs. Fay survived to see Calcutta in her youth and other places from then Egypt, Malabar, Murshidabad to "Chandernagore".
Well, In that time, as it has been observed, Calcutta, being a place of frequent partings, is, in consequence, a place of short memories.
Mrs. Fay, in advanced years, returned to Calcutta, about a year before her death, and set to work to put her letters into print, it may indeed be wondered how it is that a book so often laid under contribution, so full of adventures, containing so many clearly cut descriptions of interesting persons and place.

Folk-Tales of Bengal
As written by the writer himself : "In my Peasant Life in Bengal I make the peasant boy Govinda spend some hours every evening in listening to stories told by an old woman, who was called Sambhu’s mother, and who was the best story-teller in the village. On reading that passage, Captain R. C. Temple, of the Bengal Staff Corps, son of the distinguished Indian administrator Sir Richard Temple, wrote to me to say how interesting it would be to get a collection of those unwritten stories which old women in India recite to little children in the evenings, and to ask whether I could not make such a collection.
So I did that, all the stories were in Bengali, and I translated them into English. "

Ruskin Bond: A Study of Human Emotions
Literature challenges one not only to think about ethical conundrums but also makes one sensitive and compassionate. When it blends with euphoria and nostalgia, the integral parts of human mind, it toughens and becomes sturdy. Man loves to live in his past memories to be happy. The experiences form a part of human personality and shape their behaviour pattern.
Nostalgia stores for us our memories which we relish lifelong. Even the lamentable days of past become pleasant. Though we might have ignored some not too pleasant incidents in our bygone days yet somewhat bitter experiences appear to be impressive and attractive. It is aptly said that the panorama of mountains appear beautiful and splendid from a distance. The bitterness of nearness is intolerable. The more we grow in years, the more our past recedes. Distance from the life lived long ago makes it sweet and desirable. Strain and stress of the present becomes frivolous when we slipand relapse into euphoric nostalgia.
The instincts of euphoria and nostalgia have been vividly handled by the legendry writers of all times. They have given various dimensions and definitions to the readers to redeem these human aspects yet many more stones are still unturned. These two instincts in the oeuvre of the legendry writer Ruskin Bond are the anchor points that suggest the scope of study. I have chosen to put forward the very idea about how a man’s body, mind and soul blend with traces of his past memories and support the holistic growth.
