SynopsisA collection of Urdu stories by some of the best and most renowned writers of the language today - including Abdulla Hussein, Qurratulain Hyder, Naiyer Masud and Khalida Husain - brought to the English reader in accuate, modern translations. With startling originality and breath-taking grace, they lead us into a world shaped by Islamic and Indian Subcontinental traditions, revealing an imagination hovering upon the mystical and the romantic, the traditional and the modern, the social and the political. Ultimately, these stories, which include some genuine masterpieces, testify to the depth of the human spirit as they reflect upon its mysteries.
