About The Book

The short story is as distinctive and artistic a form in the modern age as the sonnet was in Renaissance Europe. It is a literary genre, with its own innate characteristics, that has emerged in the present times as the most popular form of people's aesthetic and literary sustenance.

The prime focus in the present selection of these twenty short stories has been on eminent Hindi writers from Bihar, generally forgotten or lesser known to the present generation of readers. The stories cover a long span of nearly seven decades comprising some of the finest examples of the form from the age of Premchand to 'Nayi Kahani' and beyond.

Introduction

What is a 'short story'? Does the modifying tag 'short' indicate its length or size, or does the appellative signify some other quality? Obviously a physical measure of any literary work cannot be defined in terms of any particular length or size. When we write a short story we know that it doesn't have its boundary lines drawn like a straitjacket Petrarchan sonnet. A short story can be of only two pages or even twenty pages. 'Short' therefore is not a modifier here in its usual sense of size or length.
