Overview of Hungry Stones and Other Stories Book

This book is a selection of some of Tagore's best short stories. They display a versatility that ranges from the fanciful, supernatural tale, 'Hungry Stones', to the delicate, poignant story of an adolescent in 'The Home-Coming'. Tagore had a remarkable capacity to empathise with people in different situations and his characterisation shows a great deal of psychological insight. A master of the short story genre, Tagore can evoke pathos and humour at the same time. His sense of the comic gives him and the reader an objective view of otherwise sentimental situations. These stories have a firm, narrative treatment and delight the young and old alike.
