BIGFOOT PUBLICATIONS
BLURB:
The compilation comprising nine short stories, all set in
Bengal, looks to appeal to the magnanimous aspects of modern minds engrossed in
the tussle for a living. The collection is meant to make readers think at least
for once about those villagers who still have to wait for an elevation in their
wretched living. In addition, set in the backdrop of India still unaware of
urbanism and innocent of technological advancement, the stories are sure to
reconjure the ideals prevalent in the rural society in the last few decades of
the twentieth century. Further, amidst the flurry of literary works based on
urbanism, these stories will stand out to rekindle one’s deep thoughts on the
pains and pangs of the India that still remains unexplored from the
socio-economic perspective.
MY REVIEW:
Tales from Bengal is a collection of nine short
stories based in Bengal.
All the stories in this book are based on
people missing and the suffering that the family has to go through.
The stories are based at the time when India
was nowhere near urbanism, technology and social progress.
I found the cover beautiful and the title of
the book is appropriate.
The language used us simple and crisp/
Recommended to:
New readers
Short story lovers.
MY RATINGS: 4 out of 5 stars
