Runs to about 32 pages, so it's a book you'll want to pass on to a friend when you're done.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat it's about\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Post Office tells the poignant story of an eight-year-old terminally ill boy confined indoors by his doctor. He glimpses the outside world only through his window, engaging eagerly with passers-by. A flower seller’s daughter, Sudha, promises to bring him flowers, while a watchman points out the king’s new post office nearby. The boy begins to imagine he will receive a letter from the king and builds a vibrant inner world around this idea, envisioning himself as the royal postman and awaiting a royal visit. Through this play, Tagore captures the resilience of the human spirit, showing how hope flourishes even in the bleakest of circumstances. The story reflects Tagore’s symbolic vision, portraying themes of freedom, inner joy, and an unbound spirit. Rich with metaphor, The Post Office also subtly comments on India’s socio-political state, evoking powerful images of the nation’s past, present, and future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBook details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prints Publications and Advit Toys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Literary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs The Post Office - Rabindranath Tagore available in paperback or hardcover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the paperback edition of \u003cem\u003eThe Post Office - Rabindranath Tagore\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat language is this edition in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition is in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow fast does Bookston ship?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping is free on every order, with no minimum.
