The Post Office: A Play

(Book #1 in the Ginger and the Cursed Prince (Paperback) Series)

""The Post Office: A Play"" by Rabindranath Tagore is a dramatic masterpiece that explores the themes of human connection, mortality, and the search for meaning in life. The play revolves around the character of Amal, a young boy who is confined to his room due to a terminal illness. Despite his physical limitations, Amal is full of life and curiosity, and his only window to the outside world is the post office located outside his window. Through his interactions with the postmaster and other visitors to the post office, Amal learns about the joys and sorrows of life, and ultimately finds a sense of peace and fulfillment in the face of his impending death. With its poignant and thought-provoking storyline, ""The Post Office"" is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers and audiences around the world.1914. When this little play was performed in London, some friends of W.B. Yeats discovered much detailed allegory. The play is very perfectly constructed, and conveys to the right audience an emotion of gentleness and peace. There are two acts, and the story is that of a frail little Indian lad condemned to seclusion and inaction by ill health. He makes a new world for himself, by his imagination and insatiable curiosity, and the passersby bring the world action to him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
