Mister Johnson (1939) is a novel by Joyce Cary. It is the story of a young Nigerian who falls afoul of the British colonial authorities. Although the novel has a comic tone, the story itself is tragic. Joyce Cary has been quoted as saying that Mister Johnson was his favorite book that he had written. Mister Johnson is often read in schools and has had a wide audience. It has been adapted as a play by Norman Rosten and a 1990 film by Bruce Beresford. Chinua Achebe has said that Mister Johnson struck him as superficial and helped form his determination to write his own novels about Nigeria. Other critics have found Cary's portrayal of his main character patronizing and Johnson himself childish.
Lal Kitab is not a name of one single book. There are five books published during 1939 to 1952 and written by Pt Roop Chand Joshi. One need to read all those books to understand Lal Kitab in detail. In my opinion 1952 edition is the most exhaustive and must be the first book to be read by all Lal Kitab enthusiasts. 1952 edition also covers most of the content in other books. The best transliteration for 1952 edition is available in the form of "Arun Sanhita", published by Hare Krishna Trust, Chandigarh. For further reading, I would suggest reading books in following sequence -
Original first edition of Ibn Hawqal's famous Mediaeval geography "Surat al-'Ard" ("The face of the Earth"), edited by J. H. Kramer. - Clearly more than a mere editor, Ibn Hawqal was a traveler who spent much of his time writing about the areas and things he had seen. He spent the last thirty years of his life traveling to remote parts of Asia and Africa. One of his travels brought him 20 degrees south of the equator along the East African coast. One of the things he noticed was that there were large numbers of people living in areas that the Greeks said must be uninhabitable. His accurate descriptions were very helpful to travelers. The book includes descriptions of Muslim-held Spain, as well as mentions of Yemen, Oman, and Bahrein. Part one has been published in 1938 and part two in 1939. Both parts are bounded in one leather volume. Slight foxing on a few pages otherwise no library stamps/markings. History of Arab/Persian literature in Middle Ages. Seller Inventory # ASKRZD2028

The soldier was encouraged by his seniors to record his knowledge on paper, which would go a long way in strengthening the faith and trust of the common man in Astrology and Palmistry. Since the soldier was not aman of letters, he pleaded with Pt. Roop Chand to translate his acquired knowledge in black and white. Thus, the foundation of a great book was laid. The maiden issue which was titled "Lal Kitab Ke Farman" (1939) was not a comprehensive one and therefore, was not able to acquire popularity and acceptance among the astrologers and palmists in particular and public in general.

As Lal Kitabs were written in five parts between 1939 and 1952 AD, some 50 - 60 years ago, some predictions have been made in the then contemporary frame of mind.
