Mulk Raj Anand, novelist, short story writer, essayist and art critic, along with Raja Rao and R.K. Narayan, is frequently referred to as ‘founding father’ of Indo-English writing. He began his career by writing for T.S. Eliot’s Criterion and went on to win international fame with his heart-warming portraits of the Indian landscape and its people. Anand’s prolific writing career spanned more than 75 years, during which he was widely identified with the quest for a just, equitable, and forward-looking India. He wrote extensively in areas as diverse as art and sculpture, politics, Indian literature and the history of ideas. He was honoured with Sahitya Akademi Award, the most prestigious Indian award for literary writing in 1972. This volume of short stories is remarkable for the variety of its inspiration. ‘Anand is an excellent raconteur, telling a story with grace and point. He commands an easy urbane style… The stories have the power to charm.’ — Weekend Review ‘Anand’s picture is real, comprehensive, and subtle, and the shifts in moods, from farce to comedy, from pathos to tragedy, and from the realistic to the poetic, are remarkable.’ — V S Pritchett, British Literary Critic 'With great deftness, Anand pictures India... He impresses with his profound knowledge of Indian religion and culture.' — Books Abroad, USA

There Is No Poet In English Literature Like Milton : So Firm In Religious Conviction, So Fierce In Politics, So High In Poetic Flight, So Grand In Style, So Great In Scholarship, So Beautiful In Appearance, So Overbearing In Attitude, So Stoical In Sufferance And All These Are At The Same Time. And All These Varied Facets Of Milton Have Variously Coloured The English Literature. Milton Is The Third Milestone In The History Of English Literature, The First And The Second Being Chaucer And Shakespeare, Respectively. Therefore, One'S Study Of English Literature Will, Certainly, Remain Incomplete So Long As One Is Not Acquainted With Milton'S Works.The Present Book May Be Treated As An Introduction To Milton. In It, All The Three Phases Of Milton'S Creative Life Have Been Highlighted : The Phase Of Early Or Minor Poems, The Phase Of Pamphleteering And The Phase Of The Epics And The Lone Drama. Special Treatments Have Been Accorded To The Poet'S Major Works : Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained And Samson Agonistes. And, Throughout The Book, Critical And Appreciative Attitudes Are Pervading.

Gaines, Among Others. The Editor Has Adopted A Chronological Approach And The Emphasis In Articles Has Fallen Upon Providing A Synoptic View Of American Fiction Rather Than Giving A Historical Account Of It.
