Desciption
Enthralling, heart-rending, poignant and engrossing stories of immortal love, unfettered emotions and everlasting appeal that have stood the test of timeThis volume comprises a collection of mystical stories from Punjab that forces the now ordinary and practical meaning of love to change into its illogical and irrational self it once used to be. An exposition of Sufi philosophy, each story possesses both the calm and the storm of true love – a love that consumes the body and the heart; a love that goes beyond all common sense; a love better known as junoon (intense passion), that finally culminates in ibaadat (worship) and the love of God. From Sohni-Mahiwal to Heer-Ranjha, Sassi-Punnu to Mirza-Sahiban, Harish Dhillon succinctly encapsulates the rich cultural and literary heritage Punjab is so famously synonymous with. Love Stories from Punjab brings alive the forgotten magic of folklore that will tug at all the right strings of the heart, once again. Drama, romance, tragedy and history are interwoven in the form of an exquisite tapestry. Read more
Review
I recently purchased this book and was amazed by the mesmerizing beauty of the stories. Specially, Heer-Ranjah and Sohni-Mahiwaal totally captivates you. These are true stories and the folk-lore from Punjab (North India). I had heard about the stories from my elders when I was a kid and even got to see the movies, but I believe nobody has done more justice to the tales than the author Harish Dhillon. This book is a must buy for younger generation from India living abroad and for people from from all walks of life for these love stories cross all boundaries of race, color and creed.
