Translations illuminate the richness and diversity of literature. This special Penguin gift set brings together dazzling works of fiction that capture the depth of Indian writing. From Sankar's incredible homage to the city of Calcutta to the astonishing dark humor of K.R. Meera, from a transporting love story by Dharamvir Bharati to Susmita Bagchi's transformational journey and Kalki's satirical stories, these books offer an intimate view of Indian life and culture.

With writings from Bengali, Malayalam, Hindi, Odia and Tamil, this collection is a must-have for anyone fascinated by the vast range of Indian literatures.

The titles included in the set are: Chowringhee, Yellow Is the Colour of Longing, Chander and Sudha, Children of a Better God, and Kalki: Selected Stories.

Sankar (Mani Sankar Mukherji) is one of Bengal's most widely read novelists in recent times. He is also the author of several non-fiction bestsellers, including a biography of Swami Vivekananda. Two of his novels, Seemabaddha (Company Limited) and Jana Aranya (The Middleman) were filmed by Satyajit Ray. He lives in Calcutta. A luminary of the Hindi literary world, Dharamvir Bharati wrote novels, plays, short stories, essays, poetry, and edited the journal Dharamyug. Susmita Bagchi started writing in Oriya in 1982, and has published five novels, seven collections of short stories, and a travelogue; she received the State Sahitya Akademi Award in 1993. Susmita lives in Bangalore with her husband Subroto; they have two daughters. K.R. Meera is a multi-award-winning writer and journalist. She has published short stories, novels, and essays, and has won some of the most prestigious literary prizes, including the Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award, the Vayalar Award, and the Odakkuzhal Award. Most recently, she won the Kendra Sahitya Akademi Award for Aarachar, widely hailed as a contemporary classic and published by Penguin Books India as Hangwoman. She lives in Kottayam with her husband Dileep and daughter Shruthi. Kalki Krishnamurthy was an Indian writer, journalist, poet, critic, and independence activist.
