Book Description
Rabidranath Tagore started writing at an early age. His first short story Bhikharini (The Beggar Woman) published in Bharati magazine in the year 1877 when he was just sixteen. Though this story did not receive much acclaim, but it was the first short story ever published in Bangla. He did not take up writing short stories in earnest until the year 1891, when he went to East Bengal (Now Bangladesh) to look after the family estates. During this period, he came in close contact with the common people and witnessed their trials and tribulations-an experience which served as an inspiration for his short stories. The ninety short stories he wrote; were published under the title Golpoguchcho (A bunch of stories) in three volumes. This book contains translations of seventeen Rabindranath's. stories. Children play a major role in the first eight. Though the protagonist in 'Kabuliwala', 'Khokababu comes back' and 'The Postmaster' is an adult, but the stories revolve around a child. In 'Bolai', 'The Unwanted', 'The Guest', 'The Notebook' and 'Holidays', the central figure is a child. The rest of the stories are women-centric. The heroines of Rabindranath were bold, intelligent, and emotionally strong-unstoppable in their quest for freedom.

Book Description
Poet, novelist, painter and musician, Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) is the grand master of Bengali culture. Written during the 1890s, the stories in this selection brilliantly recreate vivid images of Bengali life and landscapes in their depiction of peasantry and gentry, casteism, corrupt officialdom and dehumanizing poverty. Yet Tagore is first and foremost India's supreme Romantic poet, and in these stories he can be seen reaching beyond mere documentary realism towards his own profoundly original vision.

Book Description
Rabindranath Tagore, also written Rabindranatha Thakura, (7 May 1861 - 7 August 1941), sobriquet Gurudev, was a Bengali polymath who reshaped Bengali literature and music, as well as Indian art with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Author of Gitanjali and its "profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse", he became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913. In translation his poetry was viewed as spiritual and mercurial; however, his "elegant prose and magical poetry" remain largely unknown outside Bengal. Tagore introduced new prose and verse forms and the use of colloquial language into Bengali literature, thereby freeing it from traditional models based on classical Sanskrit. He was highly influential in introducing the best of Indian culture to the West and vice versa, and he is generally regarded as the outstanding creative artist of the modern Indian subcontinent, being highly commemorated in India and Bangladesh, as well as in Sri Lanka, Nepal and Pakistan.
