Premchand's literary career started as a freelancer in Urdu. In his initial short stories, he has depicted the patriotic upsurge that was sweeping the country in the first decade of the 19th century and wrote of the life around him and made his readers aware of the problems of the urban middle class and the country's villages.
With Premchand's versatile writing skill, the stories took a valuable space in Indian literature. This book is an integration of 41 stories by Premchand.
It feels like the same story again and again, the cruel woman suddenly grows a heart, sudden moral awakenings, everyone learns a lesson and somehow everything ends happily That’s true for most of Premchand’s (early lifetime) works except the later ones, where tragedy doesn’t magically fix itself and ends the way it realistically should!!!
Reading premchand is like entering into a rabit hole.You just go down and down and you keep falling and you don't want to stop..
Such a treat to read him🤌✨️
इस कथा-संग्रह में प्रेमचंद ने सामाजिक व्यवस्था, धर्म, जाति तथा ठेठ देहाती जीवन का शब्द चित्रण किया है। प्रेमचंद की लगभग सभी रचनाओं में भारतीय गांव की मिट्टी की खुशबू आती है।
