धनपत राय श्रीवास्तव (31 जुलाई 1880 – 8 अक्टूबर 1936) जो प्रेमचंद नाम से जाने जाते हैं, वे हिन्दी और उर्दू के सर्वाधिक लोकप्रिय उपन्यासकार, कहानीकार एवं विचारक थे।

१९०६ से १९३६ के बीच लिखा गया प्रेमचंद का साहित्य इन तीस वर्षों का सामाजिक सांस्कृतिक दस्तावेज है। इसमें उस दौर के समाजसुधार आंदोलनों, स्वाधीनता संग्राम तथा प्रगतिवादी आंदोलनों के सामाजिक प्रभावों का स्पष्ट चित्रण है। उनमें दहेज, अनमेल विवाह, पराधीनता, लगान, छूआछूत, जाति भेद, विधवा विवाह, आधुनिकता, स्त्री-पुरुष समानता, आदि उस दौर की सभी प्रमुख समस्याओं का चित्रण मिलता है।

बी.बी.सी. हिंदी में प्रकाशित विनोद वर्मा के साथ हुए साक्षात्कार रचना दृष्टि की प्रासंगिकता-मन्नू भंडारी में मन्नू भंडारी प्रेमचंद के विषय में बताती हैं कि-"साहित्य के प्रति और साहित्य के हर दृष्टि के प्रति यानी चाहे राजनीतिक, सामाजिक, पारिवारिक सभी को उन्होंने जिस तरह अपनी रचनाओं में समेटा और खासकरके एक आम आदमी को, एक किसान को, एक आम दलित वर्ग के लोगों को वह अपने आप में एक उदाहरण था. साहित्य में दलित विमर्श की शुरुआत शायद प्रेमचंद की रचनाओं से हुई थी

Dhanpat Rai Shrivastava( 31st July 1880 - 8th October 1936), better known by his pen name Munshi Premchand, was an Indian writer famous for his modern Hindustani literature. He is one of the most celebrated writers of the Indian subcontinent and is regarded as one of the foremost Hindi writers of the early twentieth century.His novels include Godaan, Karmabhoomi, Gaban, Mansarovar, Idgah. He published his first collection of five short stories in 1907 in a book called Soz-e Watan.

Munshi Premchand was born on 31 July, 1880 in Lamhi, a village located near Varanasi (Benares) and was named Dhanpat Rai ("master of wealth"). His ancestors came from a large Kayastha family, which owned eight to nine bighas of land. His grandfather, Guru Sahai Rai was a patwari (village land record-keeper), and his father Ajaib Rai was a post office clerk. His mother was Anandi Devi of Karauni village, who probably was also his inspiration for the character Anandi in his Bade Ghar Ki Beti. Dhanpat Rai was the fourth child of Ajaib Lal and Anandi; the first two were girls who died as infants, and the third one was a girl named Suggi.His uncle, Mahabir, a rich landowner, nicknamed him "Nawab" ("Prince"). "Nawab Rai" was the first pen name chosen by Dhanpat Rai.

Godaan upanyas (The Gift of a Cow, 1936), Premchand's last completed work, is generally accepted as his best novel, and is considered as one of the finest Hindi novels. The protagonist, Hori, a poor peasant, desperately longs for a cow, a symbol of wealth and prestige in rural India.
