In Bismillah and Other Stories, the searing brilliance of Saadat Hasan Manto—one of South Asia’s most provocative and powerful storytellers—comes alive in a fresh translation
This masterful collection, rendered into English by acclaimed translator Rakhshanda Jalil, captures Manto’s unflinching gaze on the human condition, his razor-sharp wit, and his uncompromising honesty.

With piercing insight and dark wit, Manto explores the complexities of faith, desire and human frailty against the backdrop of a divided subcontinent. This brilliant collection captures Manto’s fearless voice and timeless relevance. A powerful read for anyone drawn to stories that provoke, disturb, and linger.
