About the Book:
Collection of short stories
He is an excellent ranconteur, telling a story with grace and point. He commands an easy urbane style...The stories have the power to charm.
Mr. Anand is not a mere storyteller, he is poet as well. There runs a fine poetic streak through his stories.
Mr. Anand's writing has an attractive sensuous quality. He somehow charges his pages with heat, colour, scents (or smells). He has, most of all, the touch, the power that makes the writer great- he can give human weakness a dignity of its own.
With great deftness, Anand pictures India...He impresses with his profound knowledge of Indian religion and culture.
Mulk Raj Anand (12 December 1905 - 28 September 2004) was an Indian writer in English, notable for his depiction of the lives of the poorer castes in traditional Indian society. One of the pioneers of Indo-Anglian fiction, he, together with R.K. Narayan and Ahmed Ali, was one of the first India-based writers in English to gain an international readership.
Born in Peshawar, he studied at Khalsa College, Amritsar, before moving to England where he attended University College London as an undergraduate and later Cambridge University, graduating with a PhD in 1929.
In 1972, he was honoured with Sahitya Akademi Award (India's National Academy of Letters) the most prestigious Indian award for literary writing.
