About this listen

Rabindranath Tagore, India's foremost writer and the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize for literature, is perhaps best known for his tender and passionate tales about human yearning and longing. Here then is a collection of 18 short stories that highlight Tagore's profound vision.

The collection begins with "The Kabuliwallah", a heartwarming story about the relationship between a father and daughter. In "The Postmaster", a young man from Calcutta finds himself adjusting to life in a remote village, and "The Hungry Stones" recounts an unlikely encounter at a railway station.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Tagore's essence, lost in translation!

With the exception of a few stories, the collection wasn't that great. Tagore's essence was lost in translation. When I read the original Bengali text it grasps you to the core. This was an 'okay' translation which lacked the soul of the original work in Bangla.

Also I'm generally a fan of Sagar Arya's expressive rendition, especially in the stories by Amish. In this case, it wasn't comparable.
