The Lady Who Died One and a Half Times and Other Fantasies by Manoj Das
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 233kb
Overview: Of the eleven stories (the twelfth is almost a novelette), seven are expansions of and development over tales from the Jatakas and the Panchatantra. The narration clearly indicates the point where the original version ended so far as the plot is concerned (even though that part too is retold by the author in his own way in keeping with the totality of the story), and then from where the author builds up the story according to his own inspiration.
The other pieces, including the title story The Lady Who Died One and a Half Times, are the author’s original contribution to the lore. The last story, Sharma and the Wonderful Lump is hardly a fantasy but for the mild miracle at the end when the hero’s aboo melts away.
