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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nasreen Rehman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9390652774\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789390652778\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aleph\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 562\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.38d","brand":"Nasreen Rehman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44078927675647,"sku":"9789390652778","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b3cf8bfd-3af7-4a77-87c6-a89326b5b832.jpg?v=1685478326","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-collected-stories-of-saadat-nasreen-rehman-9789390652778","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
