The Rabindranath Tagore\n Omnibus III brings together four of Rabindranath Tagore's most acclaimed\n works.Nationalism (1917) contains the lectures given by Tagore in Japan and\n the United States between 1916 and 1917. In these essays, he criticises the\n model of the nation-state in both the East and West and offers his vision of\n a society that includes the finest principles of both, while remaining\n independent of them.Mashi and Other Stories (1918) is a collection of\n fourteen of his short stories, translated by W.W. Pearson, Prabhat Kumar\n Mukhopadhyay, Anath Nath Mitra and E.P. Thompson. It also includes his famous\n short-story, 'The Post Master', translated by Debendranath Mitter.The Home\n and the World (1919) is the English translation of one of his most famous\n novels, Ghare-Baire, translated by Surendranath Tagore. At its heart is a\n complex love triangle, set against the turbulent Swadeshi movement in\n Bengal.The Crescent Moon, or Sishu (1903) is a collection of simple,\n beautiful poems written primarily for children, whom Tagore saw as a symbol\n of hope and new life. It was deeply appreciated by many of his illustrious\n contemporaries, including the Nobel laureates Gide and Jimenez.
