Description

Absolutely inept are the mechanical pedagogies and skill-instillation techniques for language acquisition. The 'profuse strains' of vocalised thought seep and sink into one's psyche as 'unpremeditated art'. Pearls of creativity from the unplumbed depths of imagination will illumine the minds and form ineluctable conceptual grids there. The edifice of verbal competence must be erected on them. Philosophical equipoise and aesthetic rapture are the learner's due. A kaleidoscopic panorama of the truths of literature and life will embroider the odyssey-realms of reading across seas. A deep plunge into the profundities of wisdom may prompt the seeker to delve into pertinent questions concerning identity, politics, history, culture and so on that occupy the central arena of the academe today. Soar high up into the firmament of pansophy, be lulled by the sweet cadence of language, and stay there as stellar founts of brilliance never to come down to mundane nescience. Pearls from the Deep presents a wide range of prose, poetry and drama drawn from various authors across nationalities, ages and genres. The texts reflect the thoughts of some of the greatest literary minds.
