Here’s a list of five books that you can get for your students to stimulate their interest in Hindi literature through Premchand’s genuine and educational writings. From caste system to exploitation of poor by rich, from highlighting one’s fundamental darkness like greed, anger to unveiling civil faults like poverty, injustice, sexism, dowry, he has done it all in his books. The way in which his short fictions narrate everyday life in an easy-to-understand language never fails to captivate the new readers or kids. We like how his books are still so relevant as they are both socially-engaging and bear brilliant life lessons in those simple stories.
His work includes more than a dozen novels, around 250 short stories, several essays and translations of a number of foreign literary works into Hindi.
