description: This is a new collection of translations of thirty stories written by Premchand, who virtually created the genre of short story writing in Hindi and Urdu. The selection reveals the wide range of Premchand's genius and the scope of his appeal. While most of the stories are woven against a rural backdrop, some also demonstrate an urban sensibility.
