Description
Our Favourite Indian Stories is a collection of short stories by Indian authors, including Rabindranath Tagore, Premchand, Mulk Raj Anand, and Amrita Pritam. The stories were selected by the editors, Ranjit Hoskote and Jerry Pinto, for their literary merit and their insights into Indian culture and society.
The book is divided into three sections: “The Early Masters”, “The Modernists”, and “The Post-Independence Generation”. The stories in each section are arranged chronologically, so that readers can trace the development of Indian short fiction over time.
The book includes some of the most famous and beloved Indian short stories, such as Tagore’s “The Postmaster”, Premchand’s “The Gift of a Cow”, and Anand’s “The Barber’s Trade Union”. It also includes lesser-known stories that are just as powerful and moving.
Our Favourite Indian Stories is an essential collection for anyone interested in Indian literature. It is a beautifully written and thought-provoking book that will stay with you long after you have finished reading it.
