INDIAN STORIES (EVERYMANS LIBRARY POCKET CLASSICS) (HB)

In this anthology, each story captures a slice of life, and together they create a picture of Indian reality in all its fascinating variety. A number of themes predominate: the poverty aggravated by the dominance of landlords and the caste system; the position of women within the family and their desire for shape their own destiny; the lure of the city in a country that was and remains predominantly rural and agricultural.
