Popularly known as Manto, this short story writer is one of the greatest, as well as the most controversial, writers belonging to Lahore, Pakistan. His stories, originally written in Urdu, are simply narrated, having an essence of lyricism, metaphors and deep insight into human nature. This collection of stories has been carefully translated by Aatish Taseer, and done in a way that is said to have maintained Manto's original style and its effect.
This collection has twelve translated stories, cov...more

Ustaaaad manto usually known as porn writer ,but as he writes blatantly he is termed as the torch bearer of ugly face of society.

Manto at its best, Writers sell the lies, manto sold the truth. These stories are eye opener for anyone who thinks beyond languagist abuse.

This is an amazing compilation of short stories. Manto writes in Urdu during the Indian partition. If you can get your hands on it, read it.

Manto's full name is Saadat Hasan Manto. He was story writer and also a screenplay writer, though his film writing career never took off.
Manto was a writer who primarily wrote for himself.
People also call him Premchand of Urdu Writing.
His writing was very simple and easy to understand.
He would create stories from daily life just like Premchand, but unlike Premchand, his stories...more

A time-well-spent book. beautifully written. Things are exposed and yet so true. Urdu vocabulary is smooth that nourishes the novel and the reader too. Manto is a mystery, my his nature, that is his books. I wish he was honored when he was alive.

Selected stories from Urdu's preeminent story writer. Mostly in the backdrop of Partition and poverty-stricken Pakistan/India, the humanity in the characters shines through. Highlights include The Dog of Tetval, Toba Tek Singh, and The Blouse.
