" Preeto and other stories - the male gaze in urdu " is a book that is beautifully carved out into a masterpiece containing amazing translated stories from urdu literature authored by popular writers.
It points out how women are perceived in our patriotic society where they carry sone preconceived notions.
The cover is so pretty with light yet vivid hues of colours. The beautiful insides add to the asthetic beauty of this work. It is a hardcover .
The different illustrations that are presented in inside make this book beautiful.
There are 13 stories.The introduction part itself captured my attention in its best way where Rakshandha Jalil pointsout the history of writing about women where male writers still reign the literature world of Urdu lamguage . 
The stories to be honest were one of a kind that I read till this date. Each focuses on different image of women put on them by the people.
A must read for all how love stories that will linger on you for quiet a period of time even after you have finished it.
