{"product_id":"beclq02srjmu","title":"The Collected Stories of Saadat Hasan Manto(Volume 1 Bombay \u0026 Poona): Translatd by Nasreen Rehman [Hardcover]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSaadat Hasan Manto (1912–1955) needs no introduction. 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\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Rupa Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48327936606458,"sku":"BECLQ02SRJMU","price":753.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/0473\/5226\/files\/BECLQ02SRJMU_1.jpg?v=1730740690","url":"https:\/\/versoz.co.in\/products\/beclq02srjmu","provider":"VERSOZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
