Selected Short Stories

In 1913, Rabindranath Tagore became the first non-European to win Nobel Prize in Literature, and today he remains one of the most important voices of Bengali culture. Selected Short Stories comprises 11 of Tagore's most significant works, including 'The Postmaster', 'The Hungry Stones' and 'The Cubuliwallah', all inspiration for landmark Indian films, and is an essential introduction to his timeless work. Tagore's treatment of caste culture, poverty and bureaucracy paints a vivid portrait of nineteenth-century India, all interwoven with his perceptive eye for detail, strong sense of humanity and deep affinity for the natural world.
