This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have planned and designed this representative Anthology of Kannada short Stories in English (Fifteen stories).My main objective is to offer the best short stories in English. The seeds of Kannada short story as a literary form can be traced back to Katha Sarasttisagara, Panchantantra, Jataka tales and great oral folk legends and wonderful tales. Some of the oral and written stories were carried to the West mostly by traders, wanderers, monks and cultural ambassadors. They also carried with them the two greatest epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata, Vedas and Upanishads. The travellers brought back the great stories/epics of the West like Illiad, Odyssey and Biblical stories. With the invention of printing press in Germany in 16th century it became possible to reach out to countries far and wide through the medium of print. The short story as a genre developed steadily over the centuries and it lost its amorphous body and acquired a well defined order, arrangement and form.

Download or read book No Presents Please written by Jayant Kaikini and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For readers of Jhumpa Lahiri and Rohinton Mistry, as well as Lorrie Moore and George Saunders, here are stories on the pathos and comedy of small–town migrants struggling to build a life in the big city, with the dream world of Bollywood never far away. Jayant Kaikini’s gaze takes in the people in the corners of Mumbai—a bus driver who, denied vacation time, steals the bus to travel home; a slum dweller who catches cats and sells them for pharmaceutical testing; a father at his wit’s end who takes his mischievous son to a reform institution. In this metropolis, those who seek find epiphanies in dark movie theaters, the jostle of local trains, and even in roadside keychains and lost thermos flasks. Here, in the shade of an unfinished overpass, a factory–worker and her boyfriend browse wedding invitations bearing wealthy couples’ affectations—”no presents please”—and look once more at what they own. Translated from the Kannada by Tejaswini Niranjana, these resonant stories, recently awarded the DSC Prize for South Asian Literature, take us to photo framers, flower markets, and Irani cafes, revealing a city trading in fantasies while its strivers, eating once a day and sleeping ten to a room, hold secret ambitions close.

Book excerpt: Rajinder Singh Bedi: Selected Short Stories curates some of the best work by the Urdu writer, whose contribution to Urdu fiction makes him a pivotal force within modern Indian literature.

Download or read book DAMN HISTORY written by Govind Mishra and published by Prabhat Prakashan. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What attracted me towards Govind’s stories was a strange kind of innocence which is reflected there. The injured in the story – be it a person; a character or his/her feelings – about whom we don’t know much nor the author tells much; just the feeling of being injured... it comes out with such passion that is seldom seen in other story-writers.” So said Nirmal Verma about Govind Mishra’s short stories. Another prominent short story writer of Hindi Shailesh Matiyani opined – ‘Even though writing on both the worlds – the inner and the outer – Govind Mishra saved himself from the dangers of both realism and romanticism. That way he comes to belong to the tradition of not so much Jainendra; Ajneya or Nirmal Verma but that of Premchand.’ Having created more than a thousand characters in his fiction; Govind Mishra’s portrayal extends from villages; to towns; to cities; to metros and even up to foreign melieu. ‘Few writers have such a big range’ – said Srilal Shukla of Rag Darbari fame. ‘Damn History’ attempts to present in English for the first time; representative stories of the author; selected from more than fifteen collections of his short stories in Hindi; 1965 onwards.
