Prasvapa by Chand Svare Ghei is a book that is in fact a
collection of short fictional stories that explores the different layers that
are set between what is reality and what are dreams. Prasvapa by Chand Svare
Ghei is a collection of short stories that would appeal most to an audience
made up of a mix of young adults and adults who enjoy short story collections
with a sad under tone to them.
Prasvapa by Chand Svare Ghei is made up of numerous short
stories on numerous different topics, yet each story has a sort of sad feel to
it, some more than others. I have to say that while I found each story to be
extremely well written with perfect use of similes, metaphors, and other types
of language that I found them rather depressing. Simple black and white
illustrations are used by Chand Svare Ghei to break up pieces of text; however
I personally found the pictures to not have enough detail to be worth including
in the book. A few of the stories lacked the background information needed to
grasp the entire story, yet that does not detract from the stories as Chand
Svare Ghei chose to leave off information in order to allow the reader to use
their imagination with each story; this style of writing reminded me of Edgar
Allen Poe’s works. My favorite story out of them all was the one titled “To
kill a Christmas tree”; I liked the idea of a tree being alive and the child
feeling remorseful for robbing the tree of its potential by cutting it down.
