Inhaltsangabe

This three-volume English translation by Ratan Kumar Chattopadhyay called Selections from Galpaguchchha (Bengali for a bunch of stories)is a collection of sixty-one of Tagore s short stories broadly grouped under the themes of parting of ways, the relationship between men and women, and the power within the woman, respectively. Volume 1 includes memorable stories like the The Pedlar from Kabul , Broken Nest , Punishment and The Postmaster . In the first, an Afghan hawker, Rahmat, comes to Calcutta and befriends five-year-old Mini, who reminds him of his own daughter back home. While Broken Nest is a story of a lonely urban housewife s friendship with her brother-in-law and her overwhelming sense of loss when the relationship ends abruptly, Punishment set in rural Bengal is a poignant story of young Chandora and her grim resolve when her husband, to save his brother, persuades her to own up to a murder she did not commit.
