Indian English • Public Domain • Free to stream
The Hungry Stones is a collection of short stories by Rabindranath Tagore, combining elements of the supernatural, the lyrical, and the psychologically intense. The title story, a haunting tale of a young revenue collector who becomes possessed by the memories of a Mughal palace, is one of Tagore's most famous works of short fiction. The stories in this collection range from ghost stories to gentle rural tales, all infused with Tagore's gift for atmosphere and his deep sympathy for ordinary Bengali life. These stories reveal a very different side of the Nobel laureate from the devotional poetry of Gitanjali. Stream free, no account required.
