About
Book Details

This sheaf of fifteen short stories represents a cross-section of contemporary Indian Literature. Fourteen of them are translations. One each from fourteen modern languages of India and one is a specimen of Indian creative writing in English.

Selected by the Sahitya Akademi's Advisory Boards of various languages, these stories provide fascinating glimpses into the panorama of Indian life, with its baffling variety, its rich contrast of the simple and sophisticated, the ancient and the modern. Here is evidence, if such were needed, that Indian literature is one of a stale uniformity but of a rich variety.

This is the first volume of Sahitya Akademi's series of such representative anthologies in English of contemporary indian short stories. Second, third and fourth volume of stories written by different authors have also been published.

Prof.Humayun Kabir has farwarded this volume.
