Pratinidhi Kahaniyan : Usha Priyamvada
- Author Name:
Usha Priyamvada
- Book Type:

- Description:
उषा प्रियम्वदा को पढ़ना एक साथ बहुत से बिम्बों में घिर जाना है। बिम्ब जो घुमड़ते बादलों की तरह अनायास तैरते चले आते हैं और एक सार्थक संगति में गुँथकर पहले दृश्य का रूप लेते हैं। कहानियों में परम्परा के निर्वहण की अभ्यस्तता और उसे तोड़ देने की सजगता एक साथ गुँथी हुई मिलती है। 1952 से 1989 तक के कालखंड में फैली उषा प्रियम्वदा की कहानियों का अधिकांश साठ के दशक में उनके विदेश प्रवास के बाद आया है। ज़ाहिर है, डायस्पोरा मनोविज्ञान रिवर्स कल्चरल शॉक से उबरने की क्रमिक प्रक्रिया को नॉस्टेल्जिया में तब्दील कर देता है। इसलिए उषा जी की कहानियों की ज़मीन भले ही विदेशी हो गई हो, वहाँ की खुली संस्कृति और उदार वर्जनामुक्त माहौल से सम्बन्धों में सहजता और कुंठाहीनता पनपी हो, लेकिन उनकी नायिका स्वयं को भारतीयता के संस्कारों से मुक्त नहीं कर पाई है। यही वजह है कि दाम्पत्येतर प्रेम सम्बन्ध बनाते हुए भी वह अपराध-बोध और लोकापवाद के भय से ग्रस्त रहती है। सरपट दौड़ते हुए अचानक ठिठककर खड़े हो जाना, और फिर बिना कुछ कहे अपनी खोह में दुबक जाना उनकी स्त्री की विशेषता है। उषा जी बेहद महीन और कलात्मक पच्चीकारी के साथ उसके चारों ओर रहस्यात्मकता का वातावरण बुनती हैं, जो एक सम्मोहक तिलिस्म का रूप धरकर पाठक के भीतर सीढ़ी-दर-सीढ़ी उतरता चला जाता है, ठीक कृष्णा सोबती की लम्बी कहानी 'तिन पहाड़' की जया की तरह।
Patna wala Pyar
- Author Name:
Abhilash Dutta
- Book Type:

- Description:
पटना वाला प्यार (कहानी संग्रह) में पटना की जीवन शैली, वहां की संस्कृति का प्रभाव कहानियों की पृष्ठभूमि है। पटना के संस्कार कहानी के पात्रों में स्पष्ट दिखाई दे रहे हैं। पटना को जैसा एक आम आदमी अख़बारों और ख़बरों के माध्यम से जानता होगा बिलकुल वैसा ही इस कहानी संग्रह में सहज ही परिलक्षित होता है। कहानी ‘एक मुलाकात’ में दिल्ली और पटना के बीच की यात्रा, कैसे एक प्रेम में फंसी लड़की को वेश्या बना देती है। वहीं ‘पटना वाला प्यार’ कहानी के दोनों भागों के प्यार, एक छोटे शहर की युवा हो रही पीढ़ी की अल्हड़ मति का शानदार चित्रण प्रस्तुत करती है। ‘रीयूनियन’ कहानी पढ़कर व्यक्ति को अपने जीवन के कटु सत्य का सहज ही साक्षात्कार हो जाता है। कहानी से पता चलता है कि जीवन में आने वाला हर शख़्स अपना एक वजूद रखता है। ‘लाल चच्चा’ कहानी हो या ‘फैसला’, ‘अज्ञात आतंकवादी’ हो या ‘सुसाइड जिम्मेदार कौन’ या फिर ‘परछाई’ समाज को सीधे-सीधे आईना दिखाने वाली कहानियाँ कही जा सकती है।

- Book Type:

- Description:
ग्रामीण जीवन की विडम्बनाएँ, समस्याएँ और उनसे संघर्ष; विकास के शहर-केन्द्रित मॉडल के अमानवीय अतिक्रमण के सामने सहमी खड़ी आदिवासी जीवन की आत्मनिर्भरता; शासन-प्रशासन की आधे-अधूरे मन से शुरू की गई जनकल्याण योजनाओं की हक़ीक़त और इस सबके बीच आम आदमी की जिजीविषा—अशोक शाह की कहानियों में इन चीज़ों को विस्तृत तथा प्रामाणिक विवरणों के साथ अंकित किया गया है। कई बार फ़िल्म-जैसी छवियों के माध्यम से वे समाज के हाशियों पर सिमटते समाज की पीड़ा को इतने तारतम्य के साथ प्रस्तुत करते हैं कि पूरा चित्र आँखों के आगे साकार हो जाता है। इस संग्रह में संकलित हर कहानी पाठक के सामने एक ऐसी दुनिया खोलती है जिसके बारे में हमने सुना भले हो, लेकिन इस तरह देखा कभी नहीं। पेशे से प्रशासनकि सेवाओं में रहे अशोक शाह मूलतः कवि हैं लेकिन कहानी उनके लिए उस समय बहुत ज़रूरी हो जाती है जब यथार्थ की जटिलता को समझने और समझाने में उन्हें अपेक्षाकृत ज़्यादा विस्तार आवश्यक लगने लगता है। उनका कवि होना इन कहानियों की संवेदना तथा वस्तु-चित्रण में भी बख़ूबी नज़र आता है। शिल्प को लेकर अतिरिक्त आग्रह की शिकार हिन्दी कहानी के परिदृश्य में इन कहानियों को इनकी वस्तु-विविधता के लिए ज़रूर पढ़ा जाना चाहिए। संग्रह की शीर्षक कहानी यद्यपि एक आशा तथा प्रसन्नतादायी बिन्दु पर समाप्त होती है, लेकिन उससे पहले की तटस्थ विवरणात्मकता आपको लगातार एक व्यथा से बींधे रहती है। बाक़ी कहानियाँ भी किसी न किसी कोण से हमें ऐसे ही व्यथित करती हैं।
