The Sky-Lamp

Summary

The best-known of Jaishankar Prasad’s collections comprises nineteen stories. It opens with the title story, in which two captives meet aboard a ship far out at sea. Many of the tales are set in ancient India and its trading ports; others unfold in his own Banaras. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
