About the Book
FEATURING THE STORY THAT BECAME A POPULAR FILM
This selection of Tagore's stories exemplifies his remarkable ability to enter the complexities of human relationships. Within seemingly simple plots, Tagore portrays with unusual compassion and lyricism the predicament of Bengali women in traditional contexts, moving from the loneliness of an intelligent, beautiful woman neglected by her husband in his acclaimed novella 'Broken Nest' to the powerlessness of a young girl whose prized possession is taken away in 'Notebook', from the casual abandonment of an orphan in 'Postmaster' to a girl robbed of her childhood in 'The Ghat's Tale'.
Powerful in their simplicity, brilliant in their astuteness, the novella and three short stories included in this collection-translated by acclaimed poet and fiction writer Sharmistha Mohanty-are some of the Nobel Laureate's finest prose works.
About the Author
Sharmistha Mohanty is the author of three works of prose, Book One, New Life and Five Movements in Praise, and a book of poems, The Gods Came Afterwards. Her most recent work is Extinctions, a book of prose poems.
