Description

This work is a collection of Tagore's short stories that explore the universality of human experiences as he often does in his other works. In this collection, Tagore explores the difficulties inherent in growing up and finding one's place in society, as well as the complexities of familial relationships. The title story, Mashi, is about a newly married woman who has a deep bond with her sister-in-law but not with her husband.

Author

Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941) wrote Gitanjali and made a world listen to Bengal. Poet, songwriter, playwright, and founder of Santiniketan, he was the first non-European Nobel laureate in literature. The English Gitanjali is a doorway; the Bengali work is a city. He composed songs that became national anthems and argued, politely and without pause, for a modern India that could still sing. Fourteen titles here.
