Product Description
-:ABOUT THE BOOK:-
For almost six decades, Ashapurna Devi's literary works have endeavoured to create an awareness of the social atrocities stemming from age-old superstitions, decaying traditions and corrupt practices. By virtue of her words, this unmatched writer has sent out silent and firm messages proclaiming the need for social reformation, often with a dollop of humour. The collection of twenty-five short stories, chosen from her legacy of literary jewels is a celebration of her life and works. The stories bring to life a society from the past and introduce us to a plethora of characters, the young man destined for an arranged marriage while pining away for romance, the erstwhile middle class who looked down in disdain upon the concept of widows, remarriage, the tenacity with which humans trudged through the quagmire of poverty and need, the 'black sheep' of the family whose pure heart remained in neglected oblivion. These stories visit and revisit many such social, economic and emotional aspects of Ashapurna Devi's times.
