Stories of the True

Stories of the True

Real lives, radiant courage, quietly transformative humanity

If you like stories that feel both grounded and quietly profound, this collection could really stay with you. Jeyamohan turns real lives into gripping, emotionally rich portraits where goodness appears in unexpected, deeply human forms. It is the kind of book readers come away from feeling moved, unsettled, and somehow more hopeful about people.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

This book may contain very minor cosmetic defects, but it is in pristine condition.

Books in Good Condition

We do our best to ensure the quality of our books, but there is no escaping the wear and tear that comes with time. Slight foxing and some annotations may be present on the pages and the cover. There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be several crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Well Read Condition

This is a well-read book, which means that the previous owner probably really enjoyed it! The cover and pages may include moderate foxing and annotations, but the text is not obscured and still readable. Moderate cosmetic defects and minor water damage may be present on the edges of the book. For paperbacks, there may be multiple crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Description

Containing iconic stories like 'Elephant Doctor' and 'A Hundred Armchairs', this collection by Tamil writer Jeyamohan brings together twelve narratives based on the lives of real people. The stories explore how humans hold on to intrinsic goodness in everyday and extraordinary moments, and how their responses—whether anger, compassion, fortitude, suffering, self-discovery, silent protest, or eccentric activism—manifest in diverse ways.
