Rabindranath Tagore - Fiction, Poetry, Plays and Prose (6 books) (Size: 17.16 MB)
Description RABINDRANATH TAGORE (1861-1941) was a Bengali poet, Brahmo religionist, visual artist, playwright, novelist, and composer who reshaped Bengali literature and music in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913 for "his profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse, by which, with consummate skill, he has made his poetic thought, expressed in his own English words, a part of the literature of the West." Tagore modernised Bengali art by spurning rigid classical forms and resisting linguistic strictures. He introduced new prose and verse forms and the use of colloquial language, thereby freeing Bengali literature from traditional models based on classical Sanskrit. He was highly influential in introducing the best of Indian culture to the West and vice versa, and he is generally regarded as the outstanding creative artist of the modern Indian subcontinent, being highly commemorated in India and Bangladesh, as well as in Sri Lanka, Nepal and Pakistan. His novels, stories, songs, dance-dramas, and essays spoke to topics political and personal. GITANJALI (Song Offerings), GORA (Fair-Faced), and Ghare-Baire (THE HOME AND THE WORLD) are his best-known works, and his verse, short stories, and novels were acclaimed -- or panned -- for their lyricism, colloquialism, naturalism, and unnatural contemplation.
