Translations of some of the better known works of Indian literary giants like Tagore, Premchand and others have been successfully undertaken and their wirings have been read and enjoyed in all parts of India.

There are vivid and dramatic portrayals of tradition-bound villages and towns, the turmoil of the Independence movement, and the violent clash of new and old ideas. In Widows, Wives and other Heroines, Premchand focuses on the position and role of women, as well as on other socially relevant issues such as middle-class values and aspirations, poverty and the clash between democratic stirrings and a strongly hierarchical society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe novel Nirmala, translated by Alok Rai, is a classic text of the woman s victim.

Gaban, translated by Christopher R King, tells the story of a woman’s excessive love for jewellery and a series of tragic events that unfold as an outcome of her obsession.

Each story is unique in its own way. The Road to Salvation traces the theme of revenge and human folly, while January Night is as much about the plight of Halku, a poor farmer at the mercy of the local landowner, as it is about the bond he shares with his dog Jabra. A Catastrophe narrates the suffering of an old, destitute widow, and shows that bad deeds never go unpunished. Penalty is a surprisingly short story about finding kindness and sympathy in a cruel world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Lesson in the Holy Life varies the tone of the volume with its humorous dig at fake saintliness. Festival of Eid celebrates young Hamid’s act of love and sacrifice over the childish self-centredness of his friends. The self-appointed arbiter of correct social behaviour in A Car-Splashing makes good his escape in the end before himself coming to be judged. The Story of Two Bullocks is a moving account of the close companionship shared between man and animal. The Thakur’s Well exposes the cruelty of a caste-ridden society. My Big Brother is a tender yet comic story about the changing relationship between two brothers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Naïve Friends’ looks at the misadventures of Keshav and Shyama as they go about trying to safeguard the eggs of a bird which has made a nest in their house. And finally, The Power of a Curse is a dramatic tale of human deception, wrongdoing and its effects, and fear of divine retribution. The simplicity of these stories of everyday life and the accompanying visuals will delight young readers and Premchand fans alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePUBLISHER’S NOTE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.

In his writing, he juxtaposes the roles of different members of a small-town community to create the effect of a many-layered life, moving from one story to another, creating a vibrant and complex narrative.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFreed from Disgrace, his third novel, is set not in the countryside but in the capital city of Patna. The world of the novel is one of harsh contrary energies in the lives of women. Bela, a former freedom fighter, administers a hostel for working women in the district of Bankipur. Betrayals and disappointment in love have deepened her selflessness, and she refuses to yield to a corrupt secretary of the board of trustees who wants to use the young boarders for her personal advancement in influencing government officials. In the countryside of Renu’s novels, the dynamism of young pioneers wins out. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the city, the outcome is uncertain. Government officials in the new India have inherited privileges without undergoing education of spirit. Their motto is not the proclaimed motto of the new country: Truth Alone Prevails, but instead, its perversion. In such darkness, the superintendent of the working women’s hostel struggles for light. Freed from Disgrace is Renu’s passionate account of that struggle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRenu skillfully condenses each character in a few lines of dialogue while the reader is left to himself or herself to discover the complexity of the novel.

I can't remember having seen a book in the house until later in life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this age of electronic and audiovisual domination, it is interesting to recall what Dr.Appadorai, the real architect of the Indian Council of World Affairs, said to me decades ago, when I was working on the Delhi Statesman.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"You newspapermen of today have made our life miserable. Early in the 20th century when I was teaching in Chennai, I used to leave college in the evening, on the way back home collect the daily that then was issued in the afternoon, go home, have some snacks and later have dinner.  I would then pick the day's newspaper and read it from beginning to the end, and slept updated in the news.  Next morning, started another day.  Sunday was a holiday, and no newspaper came out that day. The times changed, particularly during World War I, when there was hunger for news. This was followed by the national liberation movement. The newspaper format changed and it started coming out in the morning. Now we cannot have breakfast in peace. The headlines invite us to rush through the introduction.  And this happens seven days a week.  Until World War II, there was no paper that came out on Sundays\".  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI think I can claim to be the first trained Indian Diploma holder in journalism in India.

The statesman of New Delhi, and then a Hindi daily, Jansatta, in Delhi and after a break, with Dainik Tribune of Chandigarh whence I retired as editor in 1982.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWriting for newspapers and journals was my hobby even before I entered Journalism.

The novel portrays the reality of the newly emerging Hindu-Muslim divide, but also conceives of an ideal community that gives new direction to the life of a fallen woman and allows her to lead a meaningful existence. A hugely popular novel, Sevasadan went through several editions after its first publication in 1918. It is not only a gripping novel but also a sensitive and perceptive document on the lives of young urban men and women at the beginning of the twentieth century. The perceptive and analytically rich introduction by Vasudha Dalmia helps situate the novel in the socio-political content of the times. The book will appeal to students of literature and translation studies, as well as general readers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Premchand \/ Oxford University Press \/ Paperback","offer_id":40776541896873,"sku":"24352","price":20.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/24352_bebd9b26-98bc-4a28-b719-064828d06c59.jpg?v=1625518488"},{"product_id":"24766-selected-stories-of-premchand-volume-1","title":"Selected Stories of Premchand  - Volume 1","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Sushil Malik\u003cbr\u003eTranslator(s)\/ Editors(s): Rakesh Bhasin\/Sushil Malik\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: UBS Publishers\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2008\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePages: 219\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): 9788174766106\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Premchand's stories present panoply of emotions.

from Nirad C Chaudhuri writing about the rich Bengalis in Calcutta to Premchand's superb story 'The Chess Players' (made into a film by Satyajit Ray) and from the hugely popular Hindi writer Nirmal Verma's moving story of a young couple to an extract from Vikram Seth's 'The Golden Gate, this selection is the most informative and important anthology of Indian writing to date.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREVIEWS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA very lucid and engaging selection that, for the first time, sets the quite extraordinary phenomenon of Indian writing post-1981 in clear context…The real revelation, however, is in the twenty non-English-writing writers represented here.\u003cbr\u003e-Charles Allen, Spectator\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChaudhuri is a thoughtful commentator…A provocative and persuasive challenge to the orthodoxy about contemporary Indian writing…fascinating translations.\u003cbr\u003e-Robert McCrum, Observer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is much here to commend…The pen-portraits by the editor, placing writers in their context, are excellent…One thrills to the sight of writers of sensitively and refinement.\u003cbr\u003e-David Robson, Sunday Telegraph\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe really valuable thing that Chaudhuri accomplishes…is to enable us to frame the question of what an Indian literature-not an object but a horizon-might look like.\u003cbr\u003e-Alok Rai, Outlook\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINTRODUCTION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModernity and the Vernacular\u003cbr\u003eThe Construction of the Indian Novel in English\u003cbr\u003eA Note on the Selection\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE BENGAL RENAISSANCE AND AFTER\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMichael Madhusudan Dutt ( 1824-73) \u003cbr\u003eFrom the 'Anglo-Saxon and the Hindu'\u003cbr\u003eTwo Letters\u003cbr\u003eBankimchandra Chatterjee (1838-94) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA popular Literature for Bengal\u003cbr\u003eThe Confession of a Young Bengali\u003cbr\u003eFrom Rajani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Postmaster\u003cbr\u003eFive Letters\u003cbr\u003eAn Essay on Nursery rhymes\u003cbr\u003eFrom the Introduction to Thakurmar Jhuli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSukumar Ray ( 1887-1923) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA topsy-Turvy Tale\u003cbr\u003eBibhuti Bhushan Banerjee (1894-1950) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom Pather Panchali\u003cbr\u003eParashuram (Rajshekhar Basu) (1880-1960) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlue Star\u003cbr\u003eThe Jackal-Faced Tongs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuddhadev Bose (1908-74) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom Tithidore\u003cbr\u003eFrom An Acre of Green Grass: A Review of Modern Bengali Literature\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMahashweta Devi (b.1926) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArjun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHINDI\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrem Chand (Dhanpat Rai) (1880-1936) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chess Players\u003cbr\u003eNirmal Verma (b.1929) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTerminal\u003cbr\u003eKrishna Sobti (b.1925) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom Ai Ladki\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eURDU\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSadat Hasan Manto (1912-55) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeerun\u003cbr\u003eThe Black Shalwar\u003cbr\u003eQurratulain Hyder (b.1927) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMemories of an Indian Childhood\u003cbr\u003eNaiyer Masud (b.1936) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSheesha Ghat\u003cbr\u003eTHE SOUTH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eU R Anantha Murthy (b.1932) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Horse for the Sun\u003cbr\u003eVaikon Muhammad Basheer (c.1908-94) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWalla\u003cbr\u003eO V Vijayan (b.1930) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Rocks\u003cbr\u003eAmbai (C S Lakshmi) (b.1945) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGifts\u003cbr\u003ePAGES FROM AUTOBIOGRAPHIES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFakir Mohan Senapati (1843-1918) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the Story of My Life\u003cbr\u003eNirad C Chaudhuri (1897-1998) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the Autobiography of an Unknown Indian\u003cbr\u003eAubrey Menen (1912-89) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom Dead Man in the Silver Market\u003cbr\u003ePankaj Mishra (b.1969) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdmund Wilson in Benares\u003cbr\u003eENGLISH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eR K Narayan ( 1907-2001) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom The English Teacher\u003cbr\u003eRaja Rao (b.1908) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom The Serpent and the Rope\u003cbr\u003eRusk8in Bond (b.1934) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Night Train at Deoli\u003cbr\u003eA K Ramanujan (1929-93) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIs there an Indian Way of Thinking?
