Download or read book Angaaray written by Snehal Shingavi and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1932, this slim volume of short stories created a firestorm of public outrage for its bold attack on the hypocrisy of conservative Islam and British colonialism. Inspired by British modernists like Woolf and Joyce as well as the Indian independence movement, the four young trailblazers who penned this collection were eager to revolutionize Urdu literature. Instead, they invited the wrath of the establishment: the book was burned in protest and then banned by the British authorities. Nevertheless, Angaaray spawned a new generation of Urdu writers and gave birth to the Progressive Writers' Association, whose members included, among others, stalwarts like Chughtai, Manto, Premchand and Faiz. This edition also provides a compelling account of the furore surrounding this explosive collection.
Book Synopsis A Thousand Yearnings by : Marion Molteno
Download or read book A Thousand Yearnings written by Marion Molteno and published by . This book was released on 2017-08-05 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many people, Urdu is indelibly associated with a bygone era: the cultural renaissance of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in the face of colonial oppression, heady mushairas and romantic poetry. For others, it brings to mind the gritty prose of the Progressive Writers portraying the grim social realities of the mid-twentieth century. In this luminous collection of Urdu poetry and prose, Ralph Russell expands our world of Urdu letters to include folk and oral narratives, besides prose and poetry. By situating each form historically, he gives us a refreshing perspective on the diverse literary cultures and histories of India. Besides canonical short stories by the likes of Manto and Premchand, there is Ismat Chughtai's a little-known autobiographical essay about her relationship with her brother, the writer Azim Beg Chughtai. There are creation tales from the Quran, popular stories of Akbar and Birbal, along with the legendary exploits of Sikandar (Alexander the Great). Selections from the sublime poetry of Mir, Ghalib and others are supplemented by astute commentary and roman transcriptions of the original Urdu. Farhatullah Beg's brilliantly imagined account of the 'last Delhi mushaira' captures a moment in time never seen again, with the horrors of 1857 just around the corner. An accessible introduction for unfamiliar readers, and a pleasurable companion for those familiar with Urdu literature, this volume is a treasure trove of stories, poetry and history. Originally published as Hidden in the Lute(1995), this revised edition has been edited by Russell's student and friendfor several years, the novelist Marion Molteno.

Centuries later, in an Oxford library, a boy touches a strange book and feels something pierce his finger. The volume is blank, wordless, but its paper has fine veins running through it and seems to quiver, as if it's alive. Words begin to appear on the page--words no one but the boy can see. And so unfolds a timeless secret . . . .

Book Synopsis The East Wind and Other Short Stories by : Z̤amīruddīn Aḥmad
Download or read book The East Wind and Other Short Stories written by Z̤amīruddīn Aḥmad and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2002 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories collected in this volume represent a distinctive contribution to the modern Urdu short story. Focused primarily on the lives of Urduspeaking Muslim families in Pakistan and pre-Partition India, the stories explore the nature of compromise and moral death, and the emotional and sexual lives of women with a remarkable command of cultural detail and understatement. But the narrow canvas of the stories and their quietness should not obscure the sense of outrage that lies at the heart of these stories-an outrage at the continued destruction of the unique multicultural heritage of the subcontinent, and of the linguistic heritage of Urdu at the hands of sectarian violence and religious chauvinism.
