Beschreibung

Aesopra Indrajala (The Magic of Aesop) is a collection of hundred fables that presents a twenty-first century twist to Aesop's works. This collection revisits Aesop and introspects the social milieu and existential crisis through a contemporary lens. This anthology is a confluence of the vibrant heterogeneity of ancient and modern that intertwines the distinct elements of both and introduces a new genre in the universe of short fiction. Aesopra Indrajala unfolds a multi-layered reading of the traditional Aesop. Individual stories have been interpreted simultaneously from various viewpoints making it a rare contribution to the Indian literary panorama. This fables of fables is rich in allegorical expressions and suggestive language. In a world where humanity is gradually losing its sheen this collection invokes the age-old consciousness of compassion and empathy.
