The aim of this anthology is to open a little door to the great treasury of Asian storytelling. If one wished to cover the entire field-ancient, medieval and contemporary-it would not be difficult to fill a thousand pages with stories as striking, as meaningful, and as enjoyable to read as those you find in these pages. The urgency of bringing before the Western reader the work of men concerned with the Asia of today-men who are our contemporaries and, for the most part, still creative-has moved us to give priority to stories written within the last fifty years or so.
