" 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. Tagore’s treatment of caste culture, bureaucracy and poverty paint a vivid portrait of nineteenth-century India, and all are interwoven with Tagore’s perceptive eye for detail, strong sense of humanity and deep affinity for the natural world. Tagore’s stories continue to rise above geographic and cultural boundaries to capture the imaginations of readers around the world. "

This was an interesting collection of stories that offers a glimpse of India at the era they were written.

The content is a bit simplistic for a modern reader and some stories had an abrupt or sad ending that wasn't very fullfilling, while the writing in translation appears somehow dry, but I still enjoyed reading this.

Some stories were better than others as it usually happens with collections, but all in all this was a decent read to pass the time. Not amazing, not very memorable, but still I'm happy I read it.

The book got itchy feet and wants to trot the globe, so it's now crossing the Pond in order to meet one of the winners of my 7th Bookiversary's Celebration Draw.
And then... Who knows?

Good Luck my book and Don't forget to write your news from time to time!

Thank you so much for all of the books and lovely gifts!
