नव-निधि
By प्रेमचंद
Cover: Akbar shoots Jaimal at the siege of Chitor, Akbarnama (c. 1590-96), opaque watercolour on paper by Basawan and workshop, Mughal court (16th century) · Wikimedia Commons · Public domain (Mughal miniature, c. 1590-96)
Nine stories by Premchand, among them the Rajput tales Raja Hardaul and Rani Sarandha and moral stories of sacrifice and remorse. The title means the nine treasures, and the book shows the author's early taste for history and heroic example. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
Summary written with Claude Sonnet 5.5.
