Class 9 English Bliss Lesson-5 All Summer In A Day लेखक परिचय
लेखक, रे डगलास ब्राडबरी का जन्म अमेरिका के इलिनय शांत के उकेगेन शहर में 22 अगस्त, 1920 ई० में हुआ था । इनके माँ का नाम इस्थार ब्राडबरी तथा पिता का नाम लिऊनार्ड स्पलडिं ब्राडबरी था। बचपन में ही ये एल० फ्रैंकबाउम एवं ईगर एलेन पो की रचनाओं के प्रति तीव्र आकर्षित हुए थे।
सिनेमा, व्यंग्यचित्र एवं चलमान सर्कसों के प्रति इनका गंभीर अभिरुचि था । बीसवीं एवं तीसवीं दशक के बीच इनके पिता अक्सर कर्महीन हो जाया करते थे । अतः परिवार को इलिनय एवं अरिजोना का आना-जाना लगा रहता था।
1934 ई० के बसन्त ऋतु में ब्राडबरी परिवार कैलिफोर्निया चला आया । बाल्यावस्था में संपूर्ण हॉलीउठ का वे पाँव के नीचे चक्का लगाकार घूमने जैसा भ्रमण किये थे । जाँ हार्लो, मार्लिन डियोट्रिज एवं जॉर्ज बर्नस् जैसे प्रख्यात सितारों का ऑटोग्राफ संग्रह किये थे और उनके साथ फोटो भी खिंचवाये थे ।
1938 ई० में लॉस एंगेल्स हाई स्कूल से स्नातक करने के बाद ये लॉस एंगेल्स सायंस फिक्शन लीग में शामिल हुए। बार्ट हाइलेन एवं ला बैकेट जैसे लेखकों के साथ इनकी प्रगाढ़ मित्रता हुई ।
हाइनलेन की सहायता से 1940 ई० में वे एक साहित्यिक पत्रिका में एक पेशेवर लेखक के रूप में कार्य करना आरंभ किये। दृष्टिशक्ति कमजोर हो जाने के कारण ब्राडबरी द्वितीय विश्वयुद्ध से अलग हो गये थे।
उस दौरान वे ‘उईयार्ड टेल्स’ एवं ‘एसटाउनविंग सायंस फिक्शन’ नामक पत्रिकाओं में एक लेखक के रूप में अपने आपको प्रतिष्ठित किया। उनकी दूसरी रचना ‘द मर्शियन क्रानिकल्स’ (1950) एक उत्कृष्ट कल्पवैज्ञानिक संकलन है।

इसके तीन वर्ष बाद ब्राडबरी ने ‘फारेनहाइट 451’ प्रकाशित किया। बाडबरी ने 50 से भी अधिक पुस्तकों की रचना किये जिनमें ‘द इलेस्ट्रेटेड मैन’ (1951), डैनडेलियन वाईन, ‘समथिं विक्ड दिस वे कम्स’ और उनकी 2009 ई० की कहानी संग्रह ‘वि’ल अलवेज हैव पेरिस’ आदि उल्लेखनीय है ।
वे प्रायः दूरदर्शन एवं सिनेमा के लिए भी कार्य किया करते थे। वे बड़े पर्दा के लिए ‘मवि डिक’ की कहानी तथा दूरदर्शन के लिये ‘अल्फ्रेड हिचकक प्रेजेन्ट्स’ की कहानी भी लिखे थे। 1964 ई० में वे पैनडेमोनियम थियेटर कंपनी की स्थापना किये।
कई कविताओं का संकलन प्रकाशित करने के अलावा भी वे निर्माणी उद्योग में भी कार्य किये हैं । अमेरिकी साहित्य में उनके विशिष्ट अवदानों के लिए नेशनल बुक फाउन्डेशन ने 2000 ई० में उन्हें मेडल एवं 2004 ई० में ‘नेशनल मेडल आफ आर्टस’ से पुरस्कृत किया।
इसके अलाबा भी ब्राडबरी ‘प्रमिथिवस अवार्ड’ (फारेनहाइट 451 के लिए), ‘एमि अवार्ड’ (चलचित्र, द हैलोविन ट्री की कहानी लेखन के लिए), ‘वर्ल्ड फैनटेसी अवार्ड’ (उनके जीवनव्यापी कृतत्व के लिए) तथा और भी कई अवार्डों से भूषित हुए हैं। 2003 ई० में उनकी पत्नी मार्गुएरिट मैक्लुर की मृत्यु हुई और 2012 ई० में 5 जून को 91 वर्ष की आयु में उनका देहांत हुआ ।
Class 9 English Bliss Lesson-5 All Summer In A Day Introduction
One of the most celebrated writers of the 20th century was Ray Douglas Bradbury. Some of his best-known literary works are in the science fiction genre.
Some of his books were being dismissed by science fictionists for being scientifically unsound (for example, human beings breathing in the atmosphere on Mars).
Yet Bradbury tried to popularise science fiction throughout his life. According to Bradbury science fiction is ‘real’ but fantasy is ‘unreal’.
He was much influenced by the writings of Edgar Allan Poe, Edgar Rice Burroughs, H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, Robert Frost, Aldous Huxley, and many others. Many of his stories have been adapted for television and short films.
The story, ‘All summer in a Day’ was originally published in the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction in March 1954. The story details the life of the schoolchildren on Venus.
Most of the children are sick of living with the ceaseless rain. They are pale not just physically but also emotionally. Without the sun their skin loses luster. It is a gloomy world.
Seldom does the sun appear. When it does, the children of the rocket men only have one hour to enjoy it.
Class 9 English Bliss Lesson-5 All Summer In A Day भूमिका
बीसवीं सदी के सुप्रसिद्ध कल्पविज्ञान लेखकों में से एक थे रे डगलास बाडबरी । उनकी अति परिचित साहित्यिक क्रियाकर्मों में से कुछ हैं कल्पविज्ञानी कार्य । वैज्ञानिक आधार के न होने के कारण उनकी कुछ पुस्तकों को कल्प-विज्ञान विशारदों ने खारिज कर दिया (उदाहरणस्वरूप, मंगल ग्रह के वातावरण में मानवों का साँस लेना), तथापि बाडबरी ने जीवन भर कल्प-विज्ञान को लोकप्रिय बनाने का प्रयास करते रहे।
ब्राडबरी के मतानुसार, कल्पविज्ञान है ‘वास्तव’ किन्तु उद्भट कल्पना है ‘अवास्तव’ ।वे एडगार ऐलन पो, एडगार राईस वारोज, एच०जी० वेल्स, जूले वर्न, राबर्ट फ्रास्ट, एलडस इक्सली और अन्य कई लेखकों के रचनाओं से प्रभावित थे। उनकी अधिकांश कहानियाँ दूरदर्शन तथा लघु सिनेमाओं के लिए ग्रहण किये गये हैं।
1954 ई0 के मार्च महीने में ‘All Summar in a Day’ कहानी को Fantasy and Science Fiction पत्रिका में विकृत रूप से प्रकाशित किया गया था। इस कहानी में शुक्र ग्रह पर स्कूल के शिशु शिक्षार्थियों के जीवन का विस्तृत रूप से वर्णन किया गया है।
लगातार बारिश के कारण अधिकांश बच्चों का रहना ही कठिन हो जाता है । शारीरिक रूप से ही नहीं, भावनात्मक दृष्टिकोण से भी उनमें मलिनता आ जाती है। सूर्य के न रहने के कारण उनके चमड़े की उजालापन खो जाता है।
यह एक उद्वेगजनक दुनिया है। सूर्य का आविर्भाव यहाँ कदाचित ही हुआ करता है। जब ऐसा होता है तो रॉकेट के मानव शिशुओं के लिए यह मात्र एक घंटे का उपभोग्य वस्तु होता है।
Class 9 English Bliss Lesson-5 All Summer In A Day Summary
In ‘All Summer in a Day’ a group of school children lives on the planet Venus with their families. They are nine years old. They are eagerly awaiting a momentous occasion.
After seven years of continuous rain, the scientists of Venus have told us that the sun will come out for a brief period of time. The children have only seen the sun once in their lives.
But they were only two years old at that time. They don’t remember how it looks or feels. To prepare for the day they have constantly read about the sun. They have even completed their classroom activities such as writing small stories, essays or poems about the sun.
No sooner does the rain stop than the sun comes out. All the children come out of their underground houses, begin to run round, and enjoy the sun. It is unlike anything they could imagine.
They exult, ‘Oh, it’s better than lamplights, isn’t it?’ They enjoy the warmth of the sun, running and shouting in circles. After laying out, playing, and running around the jungles of Venus, one of the girls wails because she is holding a single large raindrop in the center of her open palm.
All the other children stand for a moment and look at the sky. The rain clouds move in. The sun retreats behind a cloud of mist. The rain begins to fall harder.
All the children re-enter the underground houses with pale faces. They look out of the window at the rain-soaked world.

All Summar in a Day (एक ही दिन का ग्रीष्म ऋतु) कहानी में विद्यालय के शिशु शिक्षार्थियों के एक समूह को उनके परिवार के साथ शुक्र ग्रह में निवास करते हुए दिखाया गया है।
उनका उम्र औसत 9 वर्ष का है । वे लोग अति आग्रह के साथ एक बहुत ही महत्वपूर्ण समय की प्रतीक्षा में हैं । सात वर्षों से अविराम बारिश के बाद शुक्र ग्रह के वैज्ञानिकों का कहना था कि चन्द समय के लिए ही सूर्य को देखा जायगा ।
बच्चे अपने जीवन में मात्र एक बार ही सूर्य का दर्शन किये हैं। किन्तु उनको आयु उस समय मात्र दो वर्ष का था कैसा है वह देखने में और कैसी है उसको अनुभूति, यह उन्हें याद नहीं है ।
उस दिन के लिए प्रस्तुत रहने के उद्देश्य से वे लोग सूर्य के सम्बन्ध में सतत अध्ययन किये हैं। सूर्य से सम्बन्धित लेख, लघु कथा, निबंध एवं कविताओं का अध्ययन वे कक्षा के कार्यों के बीच ही संपन्न किये हैं।
जैसे ही बारिश रुकती है, सूर्योदय होता है। सभी बच्चे अपने- अपने भूगर्भस्थ घर से निकल पड़ते हैं, दौड़ना आरंभ करते हैं और सूर्याताप का उपयोग करते हैं। उन्होंने सोचा भी नहीं था कि ऐसा हो सकता है।
वे लोग आनन्दित होते हैं. “वाह ! यह तो दीपक की रोशनी से भी बढ़कर है।” चक्राकार दौड़ लगाता है और चिल्लाते हुए सूर्याताप का आनन्द लेता है। लेट जाना, खेलना और शुक्र ग्रह के जंगलों में दौड़ लगाने के बाद लड़कियों में से एक चिल्ला उठती है क्योंकि वह अपने खुले हाथ के तलवे पर बारिश की एक बूंद को रखे हुई है। अन्य बच्चे भी कुछ देर के लिए रुकते हैं और आकाश की ओर देखते हैं।
बारिश के बादल छा जाता हैं। कुहाँसा भरे आकाश के पीछे सूर्य छिप जाता है। बारिश और भी जोरों से होने लगती है। सभी बच्चे उदास हो भूगर्भस्थ घर में पुनः प्रवेश कर जाते हैं। खिड़की से बाहर के बारिश से भीगे पृथ्वी की ओर नजर टिकाये रहते हैं ।

It had been raining for seven years. Thousands upon thousands of days filled from one end to the other with rain. The days were filled with the gush of water and endless showers.
Heavy storms caused tidal waves to come over the islands. A thousand forests crushed under the rain had grown up a thousand times to be crushed again.
This was the way of life forever on planet Venus. Here was located the schoolroom of the children belonging to men and women who came by rockets from Earth. They set up a civilization in this rainy world.
“Ready?”
“Ready.”
“Now?”
“Soon.”
“Will it happen today, will it?”
“Look, look, see for yourself.”
The children in the schoolroom chattered and pressed to each other like so many roses. They peered out of the window to look at the hidden sun.

सात वर्षों से लगातार बारिश हो रही थी। हजार हजार दिनों तक एक स्थान से दूसरा स्थान पर बारिश की पानी भरा पड़ा था । वह समय सिर्फ जलों के प्रवाह एवं अविराम बारिश से परिपूर्ण था।
वायु के प्रबल झोके के फलस्वरूप द्वीपों पर ऊँची-ऊँची लहरें आकर गिरती थीं। करीबन एक हजार की संख्या में जंगली पेड़े टूट-फूट कर बह गये और उससे कई गुणा की संख्या में फिर से टूटने के लिए पनप गये । शुक्र ग्रह का जीवन ऐसा ही व्यतीत होता था ।
पृथ्वी से जो सब नारी- पुरुष ररॉकेट से यहाँ आये थे, उनके बच्चों के लिए यहाँ एक विद्यालय था। वे इस बारिश-प्रधान दुनिया में अपनी एक संस्कृति का निर्माण किये थे ।
“हमारी शिक्षिका कहाँ है ?”
” वह आ जायगी।”
“उन्हें शीघ्र आना चाहिए अन्यथा वह इसे देख नहीं पायगी ।
” वारिश उस समय और भी कम हो रहा था।
Class 9 English Bliss Lesson-5 All Summer In A Day Text
The children were eager to see the sun. They had been on Venus all their lives. They had been only two years old when the sun last came out.
They had long since forgotten the color and the heat of how it really was. They played in the echoing tunnels of the underground city and sang of summer and the sun.
The rain stopped. It was as if a hurricane had lost its sound. There were no motions or tremors but peace. The world ground to a standstill.
The silence was so immense one would feel as if the ears had been stuffed. The children put their hands to their ears. They stood apart. The door slid back.
The smell of the silent, waiting world came to them. The sun came out. It was the color of flaming bronze and it was very large. The sky around it was blazing blue.
The jungle burned with sunlight. The children, released from their spell, rushed out, yelling, into the summertime.

बच्चे सूर्य को देखने के लिए उत्सुक थे । वे अपने अभी तक का पूरा जीवन शुक्र ग्रह पर ही व्यतीत किये हैं । सूर्य जब अन्तिम बार देखा गया था तब उनकी उम्र मात्र 2 वर्ष की थी। बहुत दिन हो गया, ये भूल गये हैं कि इसका रंग कैसा था और इसकी उत्ताप कैसी थी। भूगर्भस्थ शहर के प्रतिध्वनिपूर्ण सुरंग में वे सूर्य और ग्रीष्म से संबंधित गीत गाते हैं । बारिश रुक गई थी।
प्रतीत होता था जैसे कोई आँधी अपनी आवाज खो बैठा है। कोई तेज झोंका या चक्रवात नहीं था, थी सिर्फ शांति । विश्व अचल हो गया है। निस्तब्धता इतनी अधिक थी कि किसी को प्रतीत हो सकता है कि उसकी दोनों कानें आवाजों/ शब्दों से पूर्ण थे। सभी बच्चे अपने कानों पर हाथ रखे हुए थे। वे अलग-अलग होकर खड़े थे। दरवाजा खिसक कर खुल गया । बाहर की निस्तब्ध जगत का गंध उनके निकट फैल गया ।

“Now, don’t you go too far,” their teacher called after them. “You’ve only an hour, you
know.”
The children were running and turning up their faces to the sky to feel the warmth of the sun on their cheeks. They took off their jackets and let the sun warm their arms.
“Oh, it’s better than lamplights, isn’t it?”
“Much, much better.”
They stopped running and stood in the great jungle that covered Venus. The jungle grew and never stopped growing. The jungle had spent years without the sun. It was the color of rubber, ash, and ink.
The children lay out laughing on the jungle mattress. They ran among the trees. They slipped and fell. They pushed each other and played hide and seek. Most of all they squinted at the sun until tears ran down their faces. They breathed the fresh air and listened to the silence which held them in a blessed sea of no sound. They looked at everything and savored everything. Then, wildly, as animals escaped from their caves, they ran and ran, shouting, in circles. They ran for an hour and did not stop running.

Question Write a letter within 100 words to the postmaster of your locality informing him about the loss of an important letter’ addressed to you and requesting him to help you get it.
Answer:
Το
The Postmaster,
Golabari Post office,
Golabari, Howrah
Subject: loss of an important letter.
Sir/Madam,
It is really a matter of regret to bring to your kind notice that an important letter addressed to me is either lost or not being at all delivered at my residence. The postman is so careless that he often misplaces the letters. The recent loss of my letter has caused me a great deal of anxiety. If the important letter is not recovered and delivered to my address in time, it will really put the postal system in disgrace.
May I, therefore, request you to make an inquiry into the matter and take necessary action so that I can get back my letter in the future?
