There cannot be a truly meaningful awareness of the country's total literary activity and output without such intercommunication through the medium of translation. Translations of some of the better known works of Indian literary giants like Tagore, Premchand and others have been successfully undertaken and their writings have been read and enjoyed in all parts of India. There has, however, been no systematic endeavour to take up the important works of each region and present them in a widely understood language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFusion books has planned the publication of a series of anthologies of English translations of modern short stories written in the different Indian languages, with the aim of bringing the people of India closer and making Indian literature available in other parts of the word. The task of selecting, editing and translating the stories has been entrusted to competent writers and critics and the series, when complete, will present a full picture of the contemporary short story in India.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Guard of Many Loves\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTara Sihun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDasaundha Singh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLove Play\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Room 10 X 8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Unfortunate One\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Old woman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoti\u003cbr\u003eA Martyr's Body Never Tells a Lie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Common Wall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlades of Grass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Way Home\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Shirt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Coconut\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Season to Die\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFraud\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMetamorphosis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotes on the Authors\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"A Selection \/ Fusion Books \/ Paperback","offer_id":40782878703785,"sku":"12736","price":9.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/12736.jpg?v=1625495095","url":"https:\/\/indiaclub.com\/de\/products\/12736-selected-punjabi-short-stories","provider":"India Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
