Description
This collection of twelve startling stories from master wordsmiths are award-winning translations of great fiction. Each story is rooted in its linguistic milieu. The stories are rich in themes and rich in terms of the culture they present. Together they bring us the magic that is India.
Twelve award-winning translations of great fiction by some of India’s best storytellers from the second All India Katha Translation Contest held in association with the British High Commission, British Council Division during 1997-98.
It is entirely to the credit of the translators that they have been able to retain the fragrance, the flavour and the felicity of the original in their translations.
