Books – Our Best Friends Summary in Hindi
कवि एलियनोर फारजीओन ने एक उत्तम कविता रची है जिसका नाम है ‘बुक्स-आवर बेस्ट फ्रेन्ड्स’ पुस्तकें जादुई होती हैं। वे अपने प्रेमी पाठकों के लिए संसार भर की आश्चर्यजनक चीजें समेटे रखती हैं। वे अपने पाठकों को सुदूर देशों, नवीन प्रदेशों, नवीन लोगों और नवीन विचारों के पास ले जाती हैं और उनमें सुखद परिवर्तन ला देती हैं। पुस्तकें हमारी परम मित्र हैं।

Books – Our Best Friends Hindi Translation of The Chapter
कैसी आश्चर्यजनक दुनिया है हमारी पुस्तकें ! उन्हें कोई खोलता और देखता है, जैसे ही, वैसे ही, नये-नये विचार और लोग सामने आनेकर प्रकट होने लगते हैं। हमारी कल्पनाओं में और आँखों के समक्ष ।

जिस कमरे में हम बैठे होते हैं,वह पिघलने लगता है और हम स्वयं को खेलते पाते हैं। किसी अनजान के साथ, जो अन्त के पहले हमारा चुना गया मित्र बन जा सकता है। या हम पन्नों पर उड़ते हुए किसी दूसरे देश या युग में पहुँच जाते हैं, हमारा शरीर तो होता है कुर्सी में ही धंसा हुआ पर हमारा दिमाग कहीं बहुत ही दूर होता है। प्रत्येक पुस्तक है एक जादू की पिटारी जिन्हें कोई बच्चा खोलता है उनके ऊपर कवरों या आवरण को खोलकर अपने प्रेमियों के लिए पुस्तकें हर प्रकार की चीजें रखती हैं।
