The Short Stories Of Rabindranath Tagore, Volume 1. The short story is often viewed as an inferior relation to the Novel. But it is an art in itself. To take a story and distil its essence into fewer pages while keeping character and plot rounded and driven is not an easy task. Many try and many fail. In this series we look at short stories from many of our most accomplished writers. Miniature masterpieces with a lot to say. In this volume we examine some of the short stories of Rabindranath Tagore. And with him we venture to the East. To meet the poet and story teller who speaks a common language of love and mysticism which continues to convey valuable insights into universal themes in contemporary society. Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) who was a gifted Bengali Renaissance man, distinguishing himself as a philosopher, social and political reformer and a popular author in all literary genres. He was instrumental in an increased freedom for the press and influenced Gandhi and the founders of modern India. He composed hundreds of songs which are still sung today as they include the Indian and Bangladesh's national anthems. His prolific literary life has left a legacy of quality novels, essays and in this volume his shorter works. Gitanjali, one of his most famous works, earned him the distinction of being the first Asian writer to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913.

A Collection Of Short Stories, She Gives Us A Glimpse Of Some Of The Women In Rabindranath Tagore'S Writing. Through These Stories We Also Come To Know The Social Conditions In Which Women Were Placed, Almost Always The Victims, And More Interestingly, Responding Differently Yet With The Same Dignity, How Each Handled The Pressure Associated With It. The Treatment Of Women And Their Position In Society Was A Serious Concern To Rabindranath Tagore. Being A Sensitive Man And The Supreme Romantic Poet Of Bengal, He Understood Women In All Their Joy And Sorrow, Hope And Despair, Their Yearnings And Their Dreams. The Violence, Both Psychological And Physical, Against Women In Bengali Society Was All-Pervasive, Cutting Across Class, Caste, Rural And Urban Divide. Its Functioning Was Sometimes Blatant But Often Subtle, Insidious And Invisible. What Was Worse Was That The Society As A Whole, Even The Women, Seemed To Have Got Used To This Slow Poisoning Without Realizing The Effect It Cumulatively Had On It. There Was Very Little Protest And The Poison Gradually Had Settled In The 'Body-Society'. Tagore Saw In The Women Of His Country An Immense Wealth - Their Courage Against All Odds, Their Power Of Survival Under The Worst Possible Conditions And Oppression, Their Forbearance, Their Self-Sacrifice And Gentleness. It Pained Him To See Such Colossal Waste Of So Much Human Treasure.
