Beschreibung

<p><b>Six stories which showcase Rabindranath Tagore's breathtaking range and empathy. The first Asian winner of the Nobel Prize, his work - written in Bengali across the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries - has resonated for generations.</b><br><br>In 'The Hungry Stones', a traveller is seduced by supernatural visions in a haunted palace, while 'The Skeleton' gives voice to the dead in a tale of hidden passion. Tagore's humanity shines through in 'The Cabuliwallah', a moving account of an unlikely friendship between a peddler and a young girl, and 'The Home-Coming' offers a poignant study of a boy's longing for love. The Postmaster explores a rural orphan's quiet devotion, while 'Mashi' depicts an aunt's desperate attempts to shield her nephew from the reality of his failing marriage.<br><br>Through his stories with their recurring themes of love and heartbreak, Tagore captures both the lives of ordinary people and the common experiences of the human condition.<br><br><b>This series of pocket-sized paperbacks celebrates the art of the short story and marks Macmillan Collector's Library's 10th anniversary. Each contains a curated selection of short stories from a literary giant: Katherine Mansfield, Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Allan Poe, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Alice Dunbar Nelson, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Rabindranath Tagore.</b></p>
