ब्लर्ब


Definition from own experience or research:
पुस्तक परिचय/शस्ति; पुस्तक के जैकेट पर पुस्तक व लेखक के बारे में परिचयात्मक टिप्पणी

Example sentence(s):
  • इस संग्रह का ब्लर्ब विख्यात कवि-आलोचक और संस्कृतिकर्मी अशोक वाजपेयी ने , अपने व्यस्ततम समय के बीच लिखने की तकलीफ़ की है। उन्होंने ब्लर्ब में जिन कविताओं का हवाला दिया है, उनमें से एक-दो कविताएं नीचे लगा रहा हूं। - uday-prakash.blogspot.com/  
  • जैसा कि ब्लर्ब में ही कहा गया है- ''उपन्यास में बीसवीं सदी की बदलती हुई मथुरा है।'' और यह भी कि इस आख्यान में तीन पीढ़ियों की सहभागिता है। - www.aksharparv.com/  

Explanation:
फ़ादर कामिल बुल्के के अँगरेज़ी-हिन्दी कोश में इसके लिए "(पुस्तक* का) विज्ञापन, परिचय, शस्ति*" दिया गया है। लेकिन वर्तमान में हिंदी साहित्य में ब्लर्ब का प्रयोग प्रचलन में है। 'ब्लर्ब' शब्द को हिंदी में स्वीकारना तर्कसंगत जान पड़ता है।
