Description:The thirty nine stories in this collection will make you see the world differently as the greatest stories always do. Starting with a ghost story by Rabindranath Tagore, India's most famous writer, and ending with a fable by Kanishk Tharoor, a writer who has come of age in the twenty first century, these literary masterpieces showcase the extraordinary range and diversity of our story telling tradition. The first recognizably modern Indian short stories were written in Bengal (by Tagore and others) in the second half of the nineteenth century. Writers from other regions were quick to follow suit, often using the form to protest colonial oppression and the various ills afflicting both rural and urban India. Over the next century and a half, some of the finest writers the world has seen produced outstanding fiction in every conceivable genre. Many of these stories find a place in this volume, as does work by emerging talent that has never been published in book form before. Here you will find stories of classical realism, ones rooted in folklore and myth, tales of fantasy, humour, horror, crime and romance, stories set in villages, small towns, cities and the moon. They will entertain you and shock you, they will lighten your mood and cast you down, they will move you and they will make you reflect on life's big and little questions. Most of all, they will make you see the world differently.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
