The stories selected in this book, taken from the collection of Rabindranath Tagore’s Katha O Kahini, cover a wide range of themes including the humble offering of a poor gardener to the divinity (“Priceless Gain”), the search fordivinity as one’s birth right (“Truth”), the royal compassion towards the poor and deprived (“TheTrifling Loss”), the humility of the king to serve his subjects (“The Representative”), the union of a devotee with her master (“Devotee”), and the harsh realities of prejudice and superstition that take away all reasoning making the human devil’s prey (“The God’s Wrath”). Each story has a subtle idea to convey. The artists have tried to convey these ideas through their artwork helping the reader to become one with the author’s heart. |
