The Post Office - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The Post Office is one of Rabindranath Tagore’s most poignant and enduring plays, a tender allegory of freedom, hope, and the human spirit. At its heart is Amal, a frail, curious boy confined indoors by illness, whose imagination soars far beyond the walls of his home. From his little window, he dreams of distant lands, passing travelers, and above all, the promise of a letter from the King that will connect him to a greater world. As villagers and visitors come and go, Amal’s gentle wisdom and innocent questions reveal the profound beauty of seeing life with wonder, even in the face of mortality. First performed in 1913, this play has resonated across cultures, moving audiences from Europe to Asia with its universal themes of longing, liberation, and the soul’s journey toward peace. Tagore’s lyrical prose transforms a simple tale into a meditation on life’s deepest truths. The Post Office remains a timeless work that speaks to both children and adults, offering comfort and inspiration in its celebration of imagination, resilience, and the boundless reach of the human spirit.
