Ignored by her well-meaning husband, Charulata falls in love with a high-spirited young cousin in The Broken Nest (Nashtaneer, 1901). Sharmila, in Two Sisters (Dui Bon, 1933) witnesses her husband sink her fortunes and his passion into his business – and her sister. And the invalid Neeraja finds her life slowly ebbing away as a new love awakens for her beloved husband in The Arbour (Malancha, 1934). Romantic, subtle and nuanced, Rabindranath Tagore’s novellas are about the undercurrents in relationships, the mysteries of love, the ties and bonds of marriage and above all about the dreams and desires of women.
Born in Kolkata, Shri Rabindranath Tagore started writing poetry from a tender age of eight. Later, as an eminent poet, short story writer, essayist, painter, novelist and playwright of worldwide fame, he changed the face of Bengali literature and music. Some of his other works are Malini, The Crescent Moon and Stray Birds.
Well known as a 'polymath,' he was also known as a renaissance poet. He had a progressive mindset and believed that the human mind has unlimited capabilities.
