ശ്രീമാൻ ബഷീർ എഴുതിയ 12 നവോത്ഥാന കഥകളുടെ സമാഹാരം. സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യ സമര കാല സമൂഹത്തിന്റെയും മൂല്യങ്ങളുടെയും നേർ പകർപ്പുകൾ ആകുന്നു ഓരോ കഥയും. ഇവയിൽ ജന്മദിനം, അമ്മ, നീലവെളിച്ചം, ഒരു മനുഷ്യൻ, പൂവൻപഴം, ഭൂമിയുടെ അവകാശികൾ എന്നിവ വളരെ ഹൃദ്യമായി അനുഭവപ്പെട്ടു.

The first story to make me think of human complexity in middle school. The main character was a bit well-written and quite unique.

Wonderful collection of Basheer's Short Stories.
Really enjoyed reading each one of them.
Most of them look like his own personal memoirs or the protagonist resembles the author himself.
My reading skill of Malayalam is very poor, hence took my own time reading each of the story, but for anybody fluent in reading malayalam can breeze through the book in no time.
Highly recommended to anybody looking for world class, classic short stories.
