Description

R.K. Narayan, one of India’s most celebrated literary figures, has enchanted readers for over seven decades with his vivid portrayal of the fictional town of Malgudi. Through a collection of memorable characters—Swami, Raju the guide, Sampath the printer, and many others—Narayan has created a world that continues to resonate with readers long after its creation.

Timeless Malgudi brings together a curated selection of Narayan’s finest work, showcasing both his fiction and non-fiction. In The Guide, Narayan blends humor and irony to explore the transformation of an ordinary man into a revered godman. A Horse and Two Goats offers a witty examination of a miscommunication between two cultures resulting in humorous consequences.

This anthology also features excerpts from Narayan’s autobiography, My Days, offering a heartfelt glimpse into his childhood, while Misguided “Guide” critiques the making of the film adaptation of The Guide. Additionally, it includes selections from his travel memoir My Dateless Diary and a masterful retelling of the Tamil epic Silappadikaram.

For both long-time admirers and new readers, Timeless Malgudi is a rich tribute to R.K. Narayan’s remarkable storytelling and the enduring charm of the town of Malgudi, untouched by the passage of time. Read more on this category
