Rabindranath Tagore 
Mashi and Other Stories [EPUB ebook] 

According to Wikipedia: ‘Rabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 – 7 August 1941), sobriquet Gurudev, was an Indian-Bengali polymath who reshaped his region’s literature and music. Author of Gitanjali and its ‘profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse’, he became the first non-European Nobel laureate by earning the 1913 Prize in Literature. In translation his poetry was viewed as spiritual and mercurial; his seemingly mesmeric personality, flowing hair, and other-worldly dress earned him a prophet-like reputation in the West. His ‘elegant prose and magical poetry’ remain largely unknown outside Bengal.’
