Original price was: ₹275.00.Current price is: ₹206.00.

Malgudi Days is among Narayan’s collection of short stories. The stories written with Narayan’s simple style and characteristic gentle irony potray the variety and colour of Indian Life. Narayan in his introduction says: “I have named this volume Malgudi Days in order to give it a plausibly geographical status. I am often asked . ‘Where is Malgudi?’ All I can say that it is imaginary and not be found on any map.. If I explain that Malgudi is a small town in South India I shall only be expressing a half-truth, for characteristics of Malgudi seem to be universal.” Readers cannot agree more.

Description

About the Author

R.K. Narayan (born October 10, 1906, Madras [now Chennai], India—died May 13, 2001, Chennai) was one of the finest authors of Indian writing in English. His stories often explore themes such as the clash between tradition and modernity, individual freedom, and the dynamics of Indian family life. His style is marked by genial humor, gentle irony, and simplicity.

Hand in hand with pioneering Indian novelists Mulk Raj Anand and Raja Rao, Narayan laid the foundations of the novel as a genre in Indian literature. Whereas Anand focused on social realism, and Rao breathed philosophical depth into his works, Narayan used simple, humorous prose to depict the lives of ordinary people in India.
