Penguin??Books

Predominantly set in the valleys of Uttarakhand, the stories in this book are warm, intimate portraits of life in the Himalayan foothills. Apart from gently satirical studies about village and small-town braggarts and petty officials, this collection also has several stunning tales that mourn the gradual erosion of the beauty of the hills with the coming of the steel, dust and worries of modern civilization. Animated by Ruskin Bond s rare humanity and compassion, this book is a thoroughly rewarding read.

Residents of nondescript villages and towns, Ruskin Bond s characters are remarkable for their quiet heroism, courage and grace, and age-old values of honesty and fidelity. They lead lives that are touched by natural beauty as well as suffering the loss of a loved parent, unfulfilled dreams, natural calamities, ghostly visitations, a respected teacher turned crooked, strangers who make a nuisance of themselves which only reinforces their abiding faith in God, family and neighbour. Told in Bond s distinctive style, these stories are a magnificent evocation of an India that may be fast disappearing.

Penguin Book of Classical Indian Love Stories and Lyrics

Autobiographical sketches and stories from India s best-loved writer in English. For over four decades now, by way of innumerable short stories, essays, poems and novels, Ruskin Bond has championed simplicity and quietude in life and in art. This collection of essays and episodes from his journals is, in his own words, a celebration of my survival as a freelance . The author s early forays into the literary magazines of the 1950s and 60s are described in the first part of the book, along with some examples of his work at the time. The sections that follow contain extracts from an unpublished travel journal he kept during the 60s, episodes from the highways on which he was a frequent traveller, and vignettes of life in Mussoorie, past and present. With understated humour and compassion, Ruskin Bond records the charming eccentricities of friends and acquaintances (a former princess cheerfully obsessed with death and disaster); the silent miracles of nature ( New moon in a purple sky ); life s little joys (the smell of onions frying) and its fleeting regrets. Nostalgic and heart-warming, full of wisdom and charm, The Lamp is Lit provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of our very own resident Wordsworth in prose .
