By M. Asaduddin

The Penguin Book of Classic Urdu Stories brings together sixteen memorable tales that have influenced generations of readers. From Saadat Hasan Manto's immortal partition narrative ‘Toba Tek Singh' and the harrowing realism of Premchand's ‘The Shroud' to the whimsical strains of Qurratulain Hyder's ‘Confessions of St Flora of Georgia' and the daring experimentation of Khalida Husain's ‘Millipede', this definitive collection represents the best of short fiction in Urdu. In the process, it provides a glimpse of the works of acclaimed masters on both sides of the border—Ismat Chughtai and Ashfaq Ahmad, Rajinder Singh Bedi and Intizar Husain, Krishan Chander and Hasan Manzar, Naiyer Masud and Ikramullah.
