Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Second-Class Passenger: And Other Stories The party from the big German mail-boat had nearly completed their inspection of Mozambique. They had walked up and down the main street, admired the palms, lunched at the costly table of Lazarus, and purchased "curios" - Indian silks, Javanese knives, Birmingham metal-work, and what not- as mementoes of their explorations. In particular, Miss Paterson had invested in a heavy bronze image - apparently Japanese - concerning which she entertained the thrilling delusion that it was an object of local worship. It was a grotesque thing, massive and bulky, weighing not much less than ten or twelve pounds. Hence it was confided to the careful porterage of Dawson, an assiduous and favoured courtier of Miss Paterson; and he, having lunched, was fated to leave it behind at Lazarus' Hotel. Miss Paterson shook her fluffy curls at him. They were drawing towards dinner, and the afternoon was wearing stale. "I did so want that idol," she said plaintively.

Book excerpt: The stories in this anthology, some of them appearing for the first time in English translation, seek to give a larger view of Yashpal as a short-story writer as well as provide a taste of his forthright approach to the questions of his times. Whether exploring the theme of the complicity of the ruled with the rulers, or the unquestioning supplication of human beings to a deity or faith, or social reform and social protest, the stories are coloured by the author's deep concern for the India he fought for and dreamt of. In a world weary of territorial strife, religious rancour and social iniquities, the stories are perhaps more relevant today than when they were written almost fifty years back.

"Sire," he said, standing erect, his eyes shining, "you have punished me heavily, more heavily than was needful. There is only one way in which I can show my gratitude, and that is by ridding you of a servant who can never again look your enemies in the face."
