Produktinformationen zu „By the Roadside (ePub)“
A conversation, a litany, a prayer—one of these three will usually bail you out of a tricky situation. But there are times when all the three combined don't hold enough power to keep the inevitable at bay. Even as the woman offers all that she can, deep down she knows that what's done is done. Her cries will disappear into a void just like everything else. She doesn't know what else to do. What else can she do? Manto's genius lies in presenting the most complex characters and their circumstances in the simplest manner, and nowhere is this more evident than in By the Roadside. While the story was written more than half a decade ago, this powerful take on women in our country is still as relevant today.
Autoren-Porträt von Saadat Hasan Manto
Saadat Hasan Manto, the most widely read and the most controversial short-story writer in Urdu, was born on 11 May 1912 at Samrala in Punjab's Ludhiana district. In a literary, journalistic, radio scripting and film-writing career spread over more than two decades, he produced twenty-two collections of short stories, one novel, five collections of radio plays, three collections of essays, two collections of personal sketches and many scripts for films. He was tried for obscenity half a dozen times, thrice before and thrice after Independence. Some of Manto's greatest work was produced in the last seven years of his life, a time of great financial and emotional hardship for him. He died several months short of his forty-third birthday, in January 1955, in Lahore.
