The uncanny, representative of the marginal consciousness, indubitably persists in today’s age. The world at large is riddled with mysteries, curiosities, and eerie encounters, which may defy accurate interpretation, but present themselves as atypical illustrations of our cultural historiography. The ghostly, the paranormal, the creepy, and the strange relics of the past haunt our present. Their stories stimulate our curiosity and make us consider the possibility of an alternative world. Ghosts of Tagore: Tales of the Uncanny is a collection of Rabindranath Tagore’s short stories translated from the original Bangla. These translations celebrate Tagore as a modern cultural compatriot whose works have transcended temporal barriers and are relevant even now.
