Book excerpt: 'Timeless Tales in translation' brings together selected short stories (in translation) of the various Bengali and Hindi/Urdu writers from the Indian subcontinent. It includes the notable works of the most well-known Indian writers- Swarnakumari Devi, Rabindranath Tagore, Munshi Premchand, Jaishankar Prasad, Sarat Chandra Chatterjee and others. The stories selected contain some of the most groundbreaking, progressive, and thought-provoking writing in Indian Literature from 1855 to 1955, considered as an important period in the literary history of the subcontinent. A complex body of literature emerged in India during this period. The stories, chosen from that interesting period, cover a wide variety of subjects from historical to social to moral and they give us a glimpse of an intimate portrait of life, bringing out a meticulous picture of rural, semi-feudal India, in the colonial times.
