About The Book:
Saadat Hasan Manto is one of the greatest storytellers of the Indian subcontinent, whose timeless works have made a lasting impact on literature. This Urdu writer's creations transcend generations, appealing to readers across various cultures. In the backdrop of the partition of India, a time when humanity was repeatedly torn and broken, Manto stood as a compassionate voice for the suffering masses. He became an ally to those who experienced the trauma of fraternal killings, and his works served as a constant reminder of the brutality and senselessness of communal hatred.

Not only did Manto explore the ramifications of religious intolerance, but his pen also reflected the erosion of human values in daily life. His stories are charged with the stark reality of human alienation, and his writing remains a powerful critique of the times. The hatred and cruelty that overshadowed human existence during that period are evident in his works, with his stories shedding light on the darkness and brutality of society.

This translation collection contains 26 significant short stories by Manto, translated by Sanchari Sen. Through his stories, Manto continues to challenge social conventions and examine the human condition in its rawest form.
