Under the Banyan Tree and Other Stories, Paperback / softback Book

Under the Banyan Tree and Other Stories Paperback / softback

Part of the Penguin Modern Classics series

Paperback / softback

Description

An enchanting collection from India's foremost storyteller, rich in wry, warmly observed characters from every walk of Indian life - merchants, beggars, herdsmen, rogues - all of whose lives are microcosms of the human experience Like Nambi in the title story, Narayan has the mesmeric ability to spellbind his audience.

This he achieves with a masterful combination of economy and rhythm, creating haunting images and a variety of settings to evoke a unique paradox of reality and folklore.
