Pranam doston. Main hoon aapki dost Roshni, aur ek baar phir aapka swagat hai hamare channel 'Baatcheet and Hindi Stories with Roshni' par. Aaj hum ek aise upanyas (novel) ke baare mein baat karenge, jisne mere dil ko is qadar chhua hai ki main iska review aapke sath share karne ke liye khud ko rok nahi payi. Doston, mujhe Hindi sahitya ke sath-sath vishva sahitya mein bhi bahut ruchi hai. Par bina kisi khas wajah ke, maine kabhi American literature ko zyada nahi padha tha. Lekin haal hi mein, jab main Virginia Evans ka novel 'The Correspondent' padh rahi thi, toh usmein ek aise upanyas ka baar-baar zikr aaya jise uski ek character 'Sybil' ne teen se chaar baar padha tha. Us upanyas ka naam tha—'Stoner' jise John Williams ne likha hai. Meri utsukta (curiosity) itni badhi ki maine turant Amazon se ise order kiya aur sirf chaar dinon mein ise padh kar khatam kar diya.

Doston, 'Stoner' ek behad sadharan zindagi ki asadharan gehraai wali kahani hai. Yeh kahani hai William Stoner naam ke ek vyakti ki, jo Missouri ke ek behad garib kisan parivar mein janam leta hai, par aage chal kar angrezi sahitya (literature) ka professor ban jata hai. 1965 mein publish hua yeh novel hume sikhata hai ki zindagi mein selfless love, adhura prem, unfulfilled ambitions, failures aur successes ke beech ek insaan kaise apni garima aur shanti ko banaye rakh sakta hai.
