Book Description
The modern Indian short story, as we understand it today, came into its own in the nineteenth century, and has since then scripted a rich history for itself. Rupa Kahani showcases this popular genre of literature, featuring select works of masters of the form, across centuries and locations. These stories were written originally in Punjabi and have been transcreated into English by the author himself, with no loss to the spirit and rhythms of the originals. They stand out for their thematic variety as also as registrations of contemporary problems ---notably the spurt of militancy in Punjab.Short, crisp, with the veritable twist in the end, the stories reflect the author's maturity and sensitivity as a seasoned practitioner of the genre.

Book Description
Rabindranath Tagore, also written Rabindranatha Thakura, (7 May 1861 - 7 August 1941), sobriquet Gurudev, was a Bengali polymath who reshaped Bengali literature and music, as well as Indian art with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Author of Gitanjali and its "profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse", he became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913. In translation his poetry was viewed as spiritual and mercurial; however, his "elegant prose and magical poetry remain largely unknown outside Bengal. Tagore introduced new prose and verse forms and the use of colloquial language into Bengali literature, thereby freeing it from traditional models based on classical Sanskrit. He was highly influential in introducing the best of Indian culture to the West and vice versa, and he is generally regarded as the outstanding creative artist of the modern Indian subcontinent, being highly commemorated in India and Bangladesh, as well as in Sri Lanka, Nepal and Pakistan.
