| Article Name : | | | THE '3'ISMS IN RABINDRANATH TAGORE'S SHORT STORY'THE HUNGRY STONES' | | Author Name : | | | P.SATYANARAYANA | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-2235 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | Rabindranath Tagore's longest short story is “The Hungry Stones”. It is a blend of 'Three isms'-Lyricism, Realism and Supernaturalism. A solitary marble palace built by Emperor Mahmud Shah II for his pleasure and luxury about 250 years ago is the background of the story. The atmosphere in the palace is full of “unrequited passions” and “lurid flames of wild blazing pleasure” which raged within that palace centuries ago. Even today, the curse of all the heart-aches and blasted hopes had made its every stone thirsty and hungry, eager to swallow up a living flesh. Thus it is called the story of “The Hungry Stones”. | | Keywords : | | - artistic and heart-aches.,
