Stories of the TrueStories of the True

Containing iconic stories like 'Elephant Doctor' and 'A Hundred Armchairs', this collection by the great Tamil writer Jeyamohan, brings together twelve inspiring and imaginative narratives, all based on the lives of real people. These stories explore the capacity of humans to hold on to their intrinsic goodness in the face of both the everyday and the extraordinary, and how their response in such moments of truth finds expression in multitudinous ways - as anger, compassion, fortitude, a capacity for suffering, self discovery, a life of silent protest or even eccentric activism.
