DESCRIPTION - Most of the stories in this book were published during the nineteen-fifties and all of them are by writers whose main period of productivity lies in the post-war period. Bhave, Gadgil, Gokhale and Madgulkar are generally credited with having operated a revolution in short-story writing at the beginning of the modern, post-1947, period of Marathi literature. Two major themes of their stories are the urban and the rural one a return to the village, a concern with the lives of the farmers and peasants in the rural ninety-nine per cent of Maharastra and the other that of man in the city, of the Indian brought up in his village being lost in the impersonal maze of Bombay. Stories of the quadrumvirate and of other equally popular and powerful writers have found a place in this book. The collection portrays the complexities of men and their motives, their inertia and their strength, often with a touch of humour or of pathos. Dr. I. Raeside has captured in translation the spirit, tone, colour and aroma that pervade the originals, creditably maintaining those subtleties which do not easily yield to translation.
