A collection of fourteen short stories, including the more famous ones like 'The Postmaster', 'The Castaway', 'Sudha' and 'The Trust Property', 'Mashi' has proved to be popular with the readers of Tagore ever since it was first published in 1918. The stories portray sorrows and happiness of everyday Bengali life. In translation, the stories retain their original freshness and the universality of situations and sentiments extends its appeal to readers outside Bengal.
