Rabindranath Tagore

Opis

This collection presents the simple tales of village life and governance in India in times of Tagore. Entertainingly, the author shows how the pre-industrial world was understood, judged, and thought about. The book covers such topics as married life, the impulsive and unwise nature of children, the duties of people toward each other, the costs of carelessness and misunderstandings and human nature, and the romanticized power of the supernatural.
