«Il treno di notte. Storie e racconti dall'India» is a collection of stories by Ruskin Bond, published by Donzelli in hardcover (252 pages, in Italian).
Stories set in rural India and in towns far from major centers, featuring humble characters living on the margins of official history. There are encounters and farewells, losses and reconciliations, sorrows and great battles, with an air of resignation. They are universal tales, yet deeply Indian.
Published in 2006; translated by M. Baiocchi.
Recommended for readers of contemporary fiction and short stories, especially those interested in rural India.
