Description

Translated from Urdu original, Fire Area’, is one of the finest novels to emerge from modern Urdu literature. Here, both realism and idealism coincide and clash. A profound and mature vision of all that is dark in the drama of human existence.

Set against a backdrop of life in the collieries, the novel ‘Fire Area’, is a delineation of the heartrending conditions of the laborers and their shylockian exploitation at the hands of the powers that be. It is a murky world inhabited by people of varying lives and character, engaged in the monumental struggle for survival.

Here, both realism and idealism coincide and clash. And a moment of hope is but a forbidden fruit. A profound and mature vision of all that is dark in the drama of human existence. ‘Fire Area’, is one of the finest novels to emerge from modern Urdu literature.
