Publisher's Synopsis
Rabindranath Tagore, India's foremost writer and first non-European to win the Nobel Prize for literature, is perhaps best known for his tender and passionate tales about human yearning and longing. Here then is a collection of 18 short stories that highlight Tagore's profound vision. The collection begins with 'The Kabuliwallah,' a heartwarming story about the relationship between a father and daughter. In 'The Postmaster,' a young man from Calcutta finds himself adjusting to life in a remote villate, and 'The Hungry Stones' recounts an unlikely encounter at a railway.
