The Nectar of Life: (Short Stories) - Paperback

by Penumaka Nageswarao (Author), Kasturi Vijayam (Prepared by)

Mr. PENUMAKA NAGESWARA RAO is a contemporary prolific Telugu Short-Story writer and Novelist who has more than two hundred published short stories and three novels to his credit.

I don't think there is any Telugu Magazine worth the name, that hasn't published one or more of his short stories. Every story is short true to the name, with only a few down-to-earth live characters, like of whom we meet in every-day life and certainly are not imaginary. His style is pleasant, and his language is simple like the writer himself. He has the knack of weaving stories out of day-to-day occurrences round us. He has a mind to think, an eye to observe and a skill to weave, together with a social sense. Each story has unity and thus satisfies the dictum of "Aristotle's beauty". Every story has a message to convey and provision for thought. These are not just pass-time hilarity. Mr. Nageswara Rao's stories are objective while Sri Munimanikyam's are subjective.His stories are anointed with subtle humour and sly criticism that add to the glory of Telugu literature and are sure to give you a pleasant reading.
