One of the greatest stars of Urdu literature, Manto published over twenty collections of short stories in a literary career spanning almost two decades. Several of these have been adapted into films and plays that have won a multitude of awards and his stories about the 1947 Partition remain some of the best accounts ever written on the catastrophic event. This book is the first of a three-volume series which will contain all of Saadat Hasan Manto's 255 known stories translated into English for the very first time. Volume I collects fifty-four stories and two essays written by Manto about his time in Bombay and Poona in colonial India. The anthology includes well-known stories like 'Mummy' and 'Janki', which provide rare insights into the Poona film industry; the fascinating story of 'Babu Gopinath'; and 'My Marriage' and 'My Sahib', two essays that read almost like stories. These meticulous translations by award-winning writer and translator Nasreen Rehman, distil the aura that Manto creates of a time, a place, and a moment\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51370356310239,"sku":"9789390652778","price":83.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/uoi6RPxYBJ9789390652778.webp?v=1789157482","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/the-collected-stories-of-saadat-hasan-manto-hardcover","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
