A fabulous collection of Indian regional short stories from masters such as Tagore, Premchand and many more such stalwarts. There are two stories from Satyajit Ray himself. Quite a few haven't aged well, so you will see signs of misogyny and chauvinism in abundance. But don't let this cloud your experience. Most of the stories are fascinating and give a great glimpse into human character and the interplay of fate and intent. It is no wonder that Satyajit Ray used these stories as the foundation for his movies. The translation is wonderful. Go for it.

The narrator of the audiobook is superb. His dramatisation and use of voices is absolutely wonderful. But he makes a few errors in pronouncing words. I hope he works on the right pronunciation because he is absolutely perfect in all other departments of narration.
