In Volume 2, we find the ever popular Ramkanais Folly, The Ghats Story, Woman Bereft of Jewels, Grandfather and The Matronly Boy, among other stories. The travails of a timid man of indomitable honesty who attains a tragic heroism are narrated in Ramkanais Folly, while the theme of The Ghats Story is the unstated, forbidden love of a young woman for a hermit who may or may not be her long-lost husband. The frisson in the haunting climax of the Woman Bereft of Jewels, a horrifying morality tale of egotism and greed, is justly famous.  aIndian English Fiction  aIndian English Literature  aChattopadhyay Ratan K Tr
