R K Narayan's writing spans the greatest period of change in modern Indian history, from the days of the Raj - Swami and Friends (1935), The Bachelor of Arts (1937) and The English Teacher (1945) - to recent years of political unrest - The Painter of Signs (1976), A Tiger for Malgudi (1983), and Talkative Man (1987). He has published numerous collections of short stories, including Malgudi Days (1982), and Under the Banyan Tree (1985), and several works of non-fiction.
This omnibus features four books from R.K. Narayan's famous series based in the imaginary Indian town of Malgudi: Mr Sampath - The Printer of Malgudi, The Financial Expert, Waiting for Mahatma and The World of Nagaraj.
'Narayan's genius...lies in his persuading us that the lives and characters of Malgudi represent substantial human nature, that what happens in India happens in Malgudi and what happens in Malgudi happens everywhere' Times Literary Supplement
'No writer is more deceptively casual, or less fussed about the Eternal Verities, or more unerring in arriving by delightful detours at his destination - which is seldom a terminus because life keeps bobbing on' Guardian
'One of the most charming masters of twentieth-century fiction' Allan Massie, Scotsman
'In his humour and compassion, Narayan comes close to being a twentieth-century Indian Chekhov' Sunday Telegraph
'The novelist I most admire in the English language' Graham Greene
'Narayan's humour and compassion come from a deep universal well with the result that he has transformed his imaginary township of Malgudi into a bubbling parish of the world' Observer
