                                 Preface

This book is a compilation of one hundred essays published at my Blog "Author's Diction". The essays are about my perception of World Literature, written objectively by first finding a neutral territory to stand and then perceive the truth in its totality. If you differ, the lack of is mine.

The journey began in June 2013, after self-publishing my few novels I was promoting my books as Salesman. During the journey the first epiphany was that I am not a good salesman. I am supposed to write for my own sake only. It was good revelation, since it made my journey comfortable.

I believed in the theories and -isms, but during the course of the journey I reached to the conclusion that the literature is only 'a tale of the joys and sorrows' and this paradigm shift helped me grow as a writer.

I am thankful to my family, friends and teachers who supported me in this endeavour.
