About

With long-held ambitions of becoming a full-time writer Partha Choudhury, a Psychiatrist by profession, has now produced his first book of poems entitled “Millennium of Miracles”.  Having had an interest in literature and culture since early childhood he is an avid reader in three languages, with a particular leaning towards serious fiction, detective stories, poetry, children’s literature, comics/cartoons etc., and has already enjoyed some success with his work being published in various children’s magazines.

  

Prior to his current position as a full-time Consultant with the NHS in the UK, Dr. Choudhury was a Consultant and a member of the faculty in a premier institution in India, during which time he developed a new model of Humanistic Psychotherapy.  Putting his knowledge and experience to good use he completed a book describing the body of the therapy in a self-help format; the publication of which he is currently awaiting.

A family man, the Author also enjoys socio-cultural observations and commentary; is interested in music and cookery (with a penchant for Indian food); singing, walking, cinema, and socialising.   “Millennium of Miracles” is a charming selection of cleverly written and very stirring poetic compositions guaranteed to move and touch the reader.

Description

<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</span><br /><span class="a-text-bold" style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:700;">B.R.A.G.
