Perhaps therein lies the charm and the secret behind the immense popularity of these stories that have enthralled the generations of Marathi readers, because a lay reader can easily identify with Shantaram characters, situations and concerns. Breaking joint-family values, strong-willed women, insipid-looking but shrewd city dwellers, acute poverty where life struggles to keep pace - in the world of Shantaram, we can meet them all.

The present English translation by several translators, including a few by the author himself, hopes to take these fascinating stories to a larger audience.K J Purohit (b. 1923), who became famous with his pseudonym Shantaram, brought a new wave in the genre of short stories in Marathi language in the late 1950s onwards...-Back cover
