Mashi and Other Stories (1918) is a collection of short stories by
Rabindranath Tagore. Published after Tagore received the 1913 Nobel
Prize in Literature, Mashi and Other Stories contains some of the
author's most beloved works of short fiction, including "Mashi,"
"The Skeleton," "The Postmaster," and "The River Stairs." "Mashi
remained silent, suppressing a sigh. Not once, but often she had
seen Jotin spending the night on the verandah wet with the
splashing rain, yet not caring to go into his bedroom. Many a day
he lay with a throbbing head, longing, she knew, that Mani would
come and soothe his brow, while Mani was getting ready to go to the
theatre. Yet when Mashi went to fan him, he sent her away
petulantly." On his deathbed, Jotin experiences heartache like no
other as his young wife Mani neglects him for her own friends and
family. Cared for by his aunt Mashi, the young man spends his final
days in sorrow, longing for his love to return to him one last
time. "Mashi," the title story of the collection, is one of
fourteen stories of romance, faith, and tragedy by Bengali polymath
and Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore. With a beautifully designed
cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of
Rabindranath Tagore's Mashi and Other Stories is a classic of
Indian literature reimagined for modern readers.
