In General:
Even though I am very much tempted, it would be inappropriate to disclose the actual events these stories are based on. So, I will let the readers figure out for themselves as they read each and every (beautifully woven beads) of stories that make this anthology.
This book was given as a gift to me by my friend Namrata (most of us know her as Privy Trifles), who is also one of the Authors of the Anthology. I am thankful to her for introducing me to such a wonderful book, which, otherwise I might have not got the chance to read.
To select Eleven events and allot the Eleven events to Eleven Authors is a big task, I cannot even imagine undertaking. Therefore, hats off to Harsh Agarwal for his arduous efforts which resulted in this wonderful book.
Having being allotted Eleven Actual Events that influenced lives of many people and wove a fiction story around it (under the huge shadow of the actual event) is yet another amazing thing to do and I must congratulate each and every author for being able to do that.

Each story in the compilation has a fact at its core, an actual event that took place in recent history, coated with fiction and a brilliant narration. It retells about the ideas and people who changed the face of internet; about conmen and their heists around the world; about world’s best deception and the best kept secret behind the public identity of the best automobile company; of spies and whistle blowers; and of the spirit of togetherness, friendship and peace through the motto of ‘One World One Dream’ of The Beijing Olympics. Another set of stories recount the tragic tales- the tsunami of 2004, assassination of a public figure in Pakistan, the Nepal Uprising, riots and communal violence that tore apart the country many a times.

I won this book on goodreads giveaways. Had there not been a giveaway of this book, I would have never known that this type of stories can even exist.
It must have been really hard for Harsh Agarwal. To select 12 stories among a lot is such a difficult task. But he had done a nice work. Each story is heart touching in it's own way. I suggest you not to miss this book.

Atlas, I am pretty much confident that you, my dear readers are well informed about the meaning and usage of the term – Atlas. Yes, same is the purpose of this one-of-its-kind, anthology. It is an exclusive collection of stories based on true incidents in recent past. Though, the incidents are true but the stories are primarily fictional but at the same time, they are in close proximity with the cruel reality of this world.
The authors have done a commendable job in scripting such strong plots that at no point of time, you will feel as if they are stories, they will be read as a first-hand accounts from the victims themselves. The pain, the agony and the brutality comes packaged with the food for thought presented by every single anecdote. They not only intrigue you to ponder more but will run a rush in your body to act. Yes, the incidents are lost in the times but are strongly inscribed in Time’s Lost Atlas and the compiler – Harsh Agarwal has done is part by sharing the remnants with you in best possible shape.

The art of writing short stories is indeed a challenging one. A short story has to convey & evoke the emotions of love, hatred, pathos, fear, thrill in just a few pages, compared to a full length novel that has the liberty to do the same in endless words.
Time's Lost Atlas has an even bigger challenge, i.e., to pick up 11 major events that shook the World over a decade & create absolutely complex emotions in 11 different stories.
The result was wonderful!! Please read my full review on the blog link below!!

What works:
All stories are written well, they keep the reader engaged
Idea behind the anthology is unique
Favorite stories:
The Filch, by Namrata – emotions of the character can be felt
In the Dark, by Pooja Wanpal – setting, opening paragraphs done well
Innocents at War, by Adwitiya Borah – moving narration
A delightful collection, most stories are re-readable.
