Description
HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.
In 1913, Rabindranath Tagore became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, and he remains one of the most important voices of Bengali culture to this day.
These short stories, written mostly in the 1890s, vividly portray Bengali life and culture. Tagores treatment of caste culture, bureaucracy and poverty paint a vivid portrait of nineteenth-century India, and all are interwoven with Tagores perceptive eye for detail, strong sense of humanity and deep affinity for the natural world.
Tagores stories continue to rise above geographic and cultural boundaries to capture the imaginations of readers around the world.
