Publisher's Summary

Indian short stories offer readers an authentic peek into the various aspects of Indian life. The ones that have been written by R. K. Narayan stand out in the large collections of Indian short tales available. 

Malgudi Ki Kahaniyan (Hindi) is a set of stories that are based in the fictional town of Malgudi. The town of Malgudi is a South Indian village created by the author and offers a valuable peek into the quality of rural life during the pre-independence era. The characters in these stories come from different walks of life, and each has a unique tale to tell. These stories have characters such as astrologers, postmen, doctors, beggars and priests. Interesting situations arise from the interactions these people have in the vividly described village of Malgudi. The village has been epitomised as the classic, traditional South Indian village in the world of Indian literature. 

The author pens these tales in a wandering way that takes listeners across the imaginary worlds of these well developed characters. Based somewhere along the banks of the river Sarayu, the village created by Narayan seems lifelike because of his descriptions.

एक काल्पनिक कस्बे से अनूठी कहानियां

सालों पहले बचपन में मालगुडी डेज सीरियल देखा था, दूरदर्शन पर. मालगुड़ी के किस्से हिंदी में कहानियां सुनकर महसूस हुआ, जैसे उन दिनों को मैं दोबारा जी रहा हूं. मालगुडी, तमिलनाडु का एक काल्पनिक कस्बा, जो दुनिया के किसी भी हिस्से में हो सकता है, अमेरिका में, ब्रिटेन, चीन, भारत या पाकिस्तान में, उसमें आम लोगों की विलक्षण कहानियां, जैसे एक मोची, 12वीं में बार-बार फेल होने वाला विद्यार्थी, टूटे-फूटे मकान का व्यापारी मालिक,110 साल एक बुज़ुर्ग, एक खोमचे वाला.
इन कहानियों को खास बनाने के लिए, और उन्हें आपके जीवन में उतारने के लिए आर के नारायण जैसी पहली दृष्टि और मानव स्वभाव के अंदर घुस जाने की नज़र होनी चाहिए.
इसे सुनेऔर इसका आनंद लें.
