Stories from Tagore

Rabindranath Tagore was the first non-European writer to win the coveted Nobel Prize in literature. He wrote novels, essays, short stories, travelogues, dramas, and thousands of songs. Of Tagore's prose, his short stories are perhaps most highly regarded. They focus on people, or rather humanity at large, their nature and lived experience. The themes and characters of Tagore's short stories are as varied as his oeuvre. The stories shed light on uncharted territories. Today, he continues to be one of the most important and influential voices in World literature. His works instill a vivid stimulation of the imagination in his readers across the world.
