Book Description
The Stranger and Other Stories’ is a compilation of 16 exciting, action-packed, short stories. Each having a surprise turn of events at the end. ’The Stranger’ is hilarious with a witty conclusion. ‘An Errand for Thelma’ is touching, revolving around a lass and an old lady. ‘Fifty-Fifty’ is a laugh-riot about a botched burglary. And ‘Hide and Seek’, set in the ad world, is a romance with dashes of tragedy. ‘Shuddering Sky’ is scary. ‘Bangles for Prema’ too, is scary. ’The Watch’ is a soulful story about a watch which belongs to a ghost. ‘The Sportsman’, ’The Horse Cart’, and ‘The Dry Land’, are quite engaging in their content and narrative, while ‘Donor’ is a story about a beleaguered widow mustering the gall to do the square thing by her benefactor. ‘Lalitha’ is about being possessed, and it is sure to send a shiver down your spine. Reading ‘The Sage’ will be an experience in itself. ‘Portrait for Sale’ is about romance in a college, while ‘Haven for Crooks’ and ‘The Cook’s Leg’ are, respectively, witty stories of the stupidity of life in a military school, and a blunder which can never be set right. The stories are diverse in their plots and presentation, and make for a thrilling Sunday afternoon’s edge-of-the-seat adventure.

Book Description
OLENKA, the daughter of the retired collegiate assessor, Plemyanniakov, was sitting in her back porch, lost in thought. It was hot, the flies were persistent and teasing, and it was pleasant to reflect that it would soon be evening. Dark rainclouds were gathering from the east, and bringing from time to time a breath of moisture in the air. Kukin, who was the manager of an open-air theatre called the Tivoli, and who lived in the lodge, was standing in the middle of the garden looking at the sky. "Again!" he observed despairingly. "It's going to rain again! Rain every day, as though to spite me. I might as well hang myself! It's ruin! Fearful losses every day."

Book Description
GRISHA, a fat, solemn little person of seven, was standing by the kitchen door listening and peeping through the keyhole. In the kitchen something extraordinary, and in his opinion never seen before, was taking place. A big, thick-set, red-haired peasant, with a beard, and a drop of perspiration on his nose, wearing a cabman's full coat, was sitting at the kitchen table on which they chopped the meat and sliced the onions. He was balancing a saucer on the five fingers of his right hand and drinking tea out of it, and crunching sugar so loudly that it sent a shiver down Grisha's back. Aksinya Stepanovna, the old nurse, was sitting on the dirty stool facing him, and she, too, was drinking tea. Her face was grave, though at the same time it beamed with a kind of triumph. Pelageya, the cook, was busy at the stove, and was apparently trying to hide her face.
