The Hidden Treasure

Mrityunjaya cannot stop thinking about the hidden treasure he is determined to find. When he finally finds it, he discovers that a prison of gold is no match for the richness of fresh air, open sky and the colours of a sunset. This story leads a collection of 18 tales hand-picked from Tagore's original Bengali writing and carefully rewritten in English. Together they move through love, sadness, happiness and longing, offering a glimpse into the social classes, customs and beliefs of an earlier India.
