Literature is one of the fine arts that employ "language" as medium of expression. It is essentially an expression of human feelings, emotions, sufferings and joys. Good literature is never outdated and is unbounded by space and time. It has permanence. It is also universal, in the sense that it appeals to readers of any nationality or linguistic ability. Language or culture may be different but human sentiments remain essentially similar in all literatures of the world.

R. K. Narayan (1906—2001) witnessed nearly a century of change in his native India and captured it in fiction of uncommon warmth and vibrancy. Swami and Friends introduces us to Narayan’s beloved fictional town of Malgudi, where ten-year-old Swaminathan’s excitement about his country’s initial stirrings for independence competes with his ardor for cricket and all other things British. Written during British rule, this novel brings colonial India into intimate focus through the narrative gifts of this master of literary realism.
