The Talisman of Good Fortune and other stories from rural Bhutan
Rinzin Rinzin The talisman of Good Fortune and Other stories from Rural Bhutan is a collection of nine fictitious short stories based on rural Bhutanese culture, beliefs and norms. The stories take the reader through some of most simple beliefs and lives , of the lay Buddhist rural Bhutanese in particular, and most Bhutanese in general , to the most complex and eerie but equally fascinating world of The Poison givers , person with the Evil Spirit of the living, person who cast Evils Spells, and what the authors calls ‘the clandestine Foes.’ The stories provide the reader a good insight of the ‘least known[to the out side world] and the ‘least written’ side of the rural Bhutanese life. Furthermore, the stories are highly thought provoking.
