Om denne bog
The Greatest Tamil Stories Ever Told showcases some of the best short fiction to emerge out of Tamil Nadu, dating from theast century to the present day. Two of the earliest stories included here are Subramania Bharati''s "The Story of a Crowearning Prosody'', a satirical tale about the exaltation ofanguage, and "Kalki'' Krishnamurthy''s "The Governor''s Visit'', about how bigwigs inittle places pandered to the British rulers during the time of the Raj. While some stories in this volume wrestle with the idea of public justice, as in Father Mark Stephen''s "Penance'' and Sa. Kandasamy''s "The Slaying of Hiranya'', others, such as Ambai''s "Journey 4'', hide secrets that could destroyives and relationships if they are ever revealed. Featuring memorable works by, among others, Bama, Perumal Murugan, and Poomani, the thirty stories in this collection, selected and edited by Sujatha Vijayaraghavan and Mini Krishnan, come together to paint a striking picture of the Tamil people.
