The rich and varied body of writing in the Indian languages has grown immeasurably in the last hundred years. This collection of short stories brings together some perennial favourites from this vast treasure trove, written by acknowledged masters of the art and sensitively translated. The twenty-three stories included deal with themes central to modern India: caste, gender politics and emerging changes in the traditional family structure. These are striking vignettes from all parts of the country, evocative of different lifestyles yet reflective of common issues and problems with which we can all identify.

Kalindi Charan Panigrahi was a notable poet and writer in Odia. He is credited for the short but influential movement in Odia literature called the Sabuja Yug which was the age of Romanticism, inspired by Tagore's writings. He was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 1971. Matira Manisha is his most well-known work. It has been translated into English twice before. Mrinal Sen made a film on this book and it received the National Film Award for Best Odia film in 1967. The novel is, quite simply, the tale of two brothers, who have very different attitudes towards the land they inherit from their father. It talks about the breaking apart of the joint family and celebrates a Marxist and Gandhian approach to living.

An anthology of some of the best Oriya short stories written over the last hundred years. Some of the stories are formal experiments in storytelling while others are rooted in real life situations and events, and still others portray the lives of ordinary people caught up in the intricacies of living. Village life dominates the stories, not in a reduced and simplified form, but rather in all its complexity, and even cruelty at times, with its relationships traversed by hierarchy, caste, religion and economic and social differences. The transition that Orissa was going through at that time is also reflected in these stories. A collection which, when read as a whole, bears witness to the transformation and continuity of life, values and the specificity of culture of this eastern coastal state.
