His Hungry Stones\u0026amp; Other Stories is full of fine tales of mystery and imagination and spun around lovable characters like the Cabulliwallah. Gora, with its epic dimensions and the broad canvas of the social, cultural, religious and political life of the nineteenth century urban middle class Bengal, was a landmark in the history of the Bengali novel. My Boyhood Days, Tagore’s memoir of his childhood days, is an insightful peep into discovering the wonder and delight in the seemingly commonplace experiences that helped him become a great poet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGitanjali\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePost Office\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCreative Unity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGora\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy Boyhood Days\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHungry Stones and Other Stories\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Rabindranath Tagore \/ Rupa \/ Paperback","offer_id":40788989214889,"sku":"11415","price":45.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/11415.jpg?v=1625567514"},{"product_id":"80001-ponniyin-selvan-part-v-vol-2-the-pinnacle-of-sacrifice","title":"Ponniyin Selvan - Part V (Vol 2) The Pinnacle of Sacrifice","description":"\u003cb\u003e Shipping Note: This item usually arrives at your doorstep in 10-15 days\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Kalki \u003cbr\u003eTranslator: C V Karthik Narayanan\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Macmillan\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2003\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePages: 344\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): 0333 93551 9\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is now widely acknowledged that 'Kalki' was the first Tamil writer who used the ancient history of famous Tamil dynasties and the region as the background of attractive stories.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe best historical writing requires not only a precise knowledge of the incidents or facts that laborious research has collected, but the capacity to weave the the matter so as to form a lasting fabric which discloses character and motive.  Imagination is thus no less necessary to the writer of novels as it is to a historian.  In both cases it has to be used with restraint and judgement.  A novel, which is not true to life, will kill itself.
