Encouraged by the success of their earlier publications - short stories of Pudumaipitham and Kandharvan and Thai (Mother), a novel of Maxim Gorky - ‘Seer Vasagar Vattam’, has come out with a collection of 100 Tamil short stories of the 20th century.
The collection, beginning with Pudumaipithan and covering short stories in the last 70 years, has been compiled and edited by V. Arasu, former head of Tamil Department, University of Madras.
“The project is possible because of donations from well-wishers. The objective is to ensure that good literary works are available at an affordable price to a reader,” said Dr Arasu, who also edited the complete short story collections of Pudumaipithan priced at ₹100. The collection achieved a sale of 27,000 copies.
