ഭാരതീയ കവികളിൽ ഉന്നതശീർഷനായി നിലകൊള്ളുന്നു മഹാകവി കാളിദാസൻ. കാളിദാസകൃതികളിൽ ഭാവനാപരമായ പൂർണ്ണതകൊണ്ടും ഉജ്ജ്വലമായ ലാവണ്യം കൊണ്ടും ഔന്നത്യമേറെയുള്ള ലഘുകാവ്യമാണ് മേഘസന്ദേശം. സന്ദേശകാവ്യപ്രസ്ഥാനമെന്ന കാവ്യശാഖയ്ക്ക് തുടക്കമിട്ട കൃതി എന്ന നിലയിലും ശ്രദ്ധേയമാണ് മേഘസന്ദേശം. അളകാപുരിയിൽ നിന്നും ബഹിഷ്കൃതനായി വിന്ധ്യാപർവ്വതത്തിൽ ജീവിക്കാൻ വിധിക്കപ്പെട്ട ഒരു യക്ഷനാണ് ഈ സന്ദേശകാവ്യത്തിലെ നായകൻ. പ്രിയജനവിരഹത്താൽ ദുഃഖിതനായിത്തീർന്ന യക്ഷൻ ആഷാഢമാസമേഘത്തിന്റെ കൈവശം കൊടുത്തയയ്ക്കുന്ന സന്ദേശവും പ്രണയിനിയുടെ അടുത്തെത്താനുള്ള മാർഗ്ഗനിർദ്ദേശവും മറ്റുമാണ് കാവ്യവിഷയം.

ಪ್ರಸಿದ್ದ ಕಾದಂಬರಿಕಾರ ಎಸ್.ಎಲ್.ಭೈರಪ್ಪನವರ 'ವಂಶವೃಕ್ಷ' ಕಾದಂಬರಿ ಬದುಕಿನ ಬೇರುಗಳನ್ನು ಶೋಧಿಸುವ ಕೃತಿಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಬದುಕಿನ ಸೂಕ್ಷ್ಮ, ಸಂಕೀರ್ಣ ನೆಲೆಗಳ ಆಳಕ್ಕಿಳಿದು ಪ್ರಖರವಾದ ವೈಚಾರಿಕ, ತಾತ್ತ್ವಿಕ, ಮಾನವೀಯ ಅಂಶಗಳನ್ನು ಸಂವೇದನಾಶೀಲತೆಯಿಂದ ಶೋಧಿಸುವ ಕಾದಂಬರಿ 'ವಂಶವೃಕ್ಷ'. ಈ ಕಾದಂಬರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಆಧ್ಯಾತ್ಮ, ವಿದವೆಯ ಮರು ಮದುವೆ, ಎರಡನೇ ಮದುವೆ, ಪ್ರೀತಿ, ಕಟ್ಟು ಪಾಡು ಎಲ್ಲವನ್ನು ಕಾದಂಬರಿಕಾರರು ಚಿತ್ರಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. 1965 ಭಾರತದಲ್ಲಿ ವಿಧವೆಯ ಮರು ವಿವಾಹವೆಂದರೆ ಮೂಗು ಮುರಿಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು ಅಂಥ ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಈ ಕಾದಂಬರಿಯನ್ನು ಬರೆದಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಬರುವ ಪಾತ್ರಗಳು ಸಮಾಜದ ಕಟ್ಟು ಪಾಡನ್ನು ಮುರಿದು ಹೊಸ ಜೀವನಕ್ಕೆ ನಾಂದಿ ಹಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ.

ಗಿರೀಶ ಕಾರ್ನಾಡ ಅವರು ಐತಿಹಾಸಿಕ-ಪೌರಾಣಿಕ ಕತೆಗಳನ್ನು ಆಧರಿಸಿ ನಾಟಕ ಬರೆಯುತ್ತಾರೆ ಎಂಬ ಆರೋಪ ಸರ್ವೇಸಾಮಾನ್ಯ. ಕಾರ್ನಾಡರ 'ಅಂಜುಮಲ್ಲಿಗೆ' ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಅಪವಾದದಂತಿದೆ. ಇದೊಂದು ಸಾಮಾಜಿಕ ಕಥಾವಸ್ತು ಉಳ್ಳ ನಾಟಕ. ನಾಟಕೀಯ ಅಂಶಗಳು ಈ ಕೃತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಇವೆ. ಆದರೆ, ರಂಗದ ಮೇಲೆ ಮಾತ್ರ ಈ ನಾಟಕ ಯಶಸ್ಸು ಕಾಣಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಓದು ನಾಟಕವಾಗಿ ಪ್ರಿಯವಾಗುತ್ತದೆಯಾದರೂ ಗಾಢವಾಗಿ ತಟ್ಟುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.

Inside Alaska's biggest national park, surrounding the town of Niniltna, a gold mining company has started buying up land. The residents of the Park, are uneasy. "But gold is up to nine hundred dollars an ounce," is the refrain of Talia Macleod, the popular Alaskan skiing champ the company hired to improve their relations with Alaskans. And she promises much needed jobs to the locals. But before she can make her way to every village in the area to make her case at town meetings and village breakfasts, there are two murders—one a long-standing mine opponent, and Ms. Macleod herself.

"This is the story of Mary Prince", who was sold into slavery at the age of 12 for £38 sterling. It is the first account of the life of a black woman ever to be published in the United Kingdom, and it was published at a time when slavery was still legal in the British Colonies. "The history of Mary Prince" is firsthand testimony of the brutalities of enslavement. Its tone is direct and authentic, which makes this vivid story go straight to the heart.

In modern times, a poor little rich boy grows up believing that he is that final avatar. Only, he is a serial killer.
