Sawaar aur Dusre Afsane

Description

Shamsur Rahman Faruqi, widely regarded as modern Urdu's most celebrated critic and theorist, began his literary journey as a short story writer before becoming known for his poetry, criticism, and later his acclaimed novel The Mirror of Beauty. His short stories are noted for embedding deep historical and cultural consciousness of the subcontinent's Mughal-era society within seemingly simple narratives, capturing customs, dress, beliefs, and everyday life of the period with rich detail. This collection reflects that same craftsmanship — a must for admirers of literary Urdu fiction rooted in history and culture.
