Book Description
This sheaf of twenty-two short stories, written by different authors, mainly during the period 1930-50, represents a cross-section of contemporary Indian short fiction. Twenty stories are translations from fourteen modern languages oif India and two are specimens of Indian creative writing in English. Here is evidence, if such were needed that Indian literature is one though written in many languages - its oneness consusting not of a stale uniformity but of rich variety.
