(less)I Shall Not Hear The Nightingale (Paperback)
Sardar Buta Singh, First Class Magistrate, a man whose family is known for its loyalty to the Raj, is close to being nominated to the Queens honours list that year. However, unknown to him, his son Sher Singh has become the leader of a group of gun-wielding, anti-British revolutionaries.
When the headman of a nearby village, a police informer, goes missing, Sher Singh is arrested. If proved guilty of treason he could be sentenced to death.
A disgraced Buta Singh disowns his son in order to show his continuing loyalty to the government, and his god-fearing wife Sabhrai turns to the Guru for guidance. The kindly Deputy Commissioner, John Taylor, an Englishman who is sympathetic to Indians and understands the familys predicament, offers them two alternatives: Sher Singh can either betray his comrades and save his life or else be hanged.
Meanwhile, in Simla, Sher Singhs wife and sister are involved in a parallel drama of their own with Madan, a revolutionary and a rake. I Shall Not Hear the Nightingale has been widely acclaimed as Khushwant Singhs finest novel

(less)Sleeping in the Forest: Stories and Poems
Since his death in 1954 at the age of forty-eight, his stature has grown on the strength of his narrative art, which is both realistic and whimsical with a poetic touch. Suha Oğ uzertem, a premier authority on Turkish fiction, writes in his introduction to Sleeping in the Forest that "As an anti-bourgeois writer and fierce democrat, Sait Faik has always sided with the underdog" and that no characters remain" 'common' or 'ordinary' once they enter Sait Faik's stories; his piercing gaze and thoughtful vision transform them lovingly into unique beings.

Few writers, in Turkey or else-where, command Sait Faik's mastery of the ironic.
Sleeping in the Forest features twenty-two stories, an excerpt from a novella, and fifteen poems rendered into English by some of the best-known translators of Turkish literature.
