N2  - Gaban, first published in 1931, five years before  Premchand's death, gives us a fascinating glimpse of  north Indian society, and especially of the author's own  Kayasth community. But this novel also serves to put  forth his own deeply-held views of the ills of that  society - the insatiable love of its women for personal  adornment, its failure to create fulfilling marriage  relationships, and its moral corruption. This is a  felicitous translation byChristopher R. King and will  enable many readers to appreciate Premchand's important  novel, available for the first time in English
