Rabindranath Tagore

The Home and the World (1916) is a novel by Bengali author Rabindranath Tagore. Written after Tagore received the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature, the novel dramatizes the Swadeshi movement for Indian independence from British rule. Through the lens of one family, Tagore illuminates the conflict between Western culture and Indian nationalism while exploring the complex relationships of men and women in modern India. Concerned for his wife, who spends most of her days inside, Nikhil, an educated aristocrat, brings Bimala to a political rally. There, they hear the magnanimous revolutionary Sandip speak out against British imperialism and call for Indian independence. Although Nikhil remains passive, if not indifferent, regarding British rule, Bimala, who comes from a poor family, reaches a political awakening of her own. When Nikhil and Bimala invite Sandip to stay as a guest at their home, Bimala moves further away from her traditional role as a wife and begins to develop romantic feelings for the radical figure. Aware of his growing influence, Sandip places himself between Nikhil and his wife while secretly attempting to convince Bimala to use her husband’s wealth to support the Swadeshi cause. The Home and the World is a masterful novel that explores the personal behind the political, inserting the lives of individuals into history’s great wheel without losing sight of humanity. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Rabindranath Tagore’s The Home and the World is a classic of Indian literature reimagined for modern readers.

Of Tagore's prose, his short stories are perhaps most highly regarded. They focus on people, or rather humanity at large, their nature and lived experience. The themes and characters of Tagore's short stories are as varied as his oeuvre. The stories shed light on uncharted territories. This collection comprises some of his best and most popular stories, such as 'Kabuliwala', 'Khudita Pashan' or 'Hungry Stones', 'Chhuti' or 'The Homecoming', 'The Postmaster' that are still relevant and relatable for the present age readers.

The legendary writer known for his immortal writings has given the world some of the most profound reads of all times. This is yet another beautiful overflow of his sentiments of his childhood days, growing up by the river-side. This book is warming contrast around him that he feels so strongly about. He describes his everyday life as a routine as small boy by as he grew by the banks of river Ganga. The river holds a very special place in his heart as he describes his house and how the soothing waters formed a beautiful and tranquil part of his personality and creativity. The book was written when Tagore returned from his trip to Scotland and then he observes how the place is changing as the technology is taking roots in the lives of the people.

There are many feathers that adorn Rabindranath Tagore's cap and a great storyteller is definitely one of them. In his coming together of these great short stories, one actually gets transported, along with the sights and smells, to the times in which these were written. Rabindranath Tagore his used his storytelling skills very expertly, when one is able to see through the thoughts, ideas and beliefs of the society at that time. Each story has a different feel to it but they all speak about similar ideas that the society was made up of. Definitely one of the great reads coming from one of the greatest storytellers of all times

The Post Office is a 1912 play by Rabindranath Tagore. It concerns Amal, a child confined to his adoptive uncle's home by an incurable disease. W. Andrew Robinson and Krishna Dutta note that the play "continues to occupy a special place in Tagore's] reputation, both within Bengal and in the wider world." The pulsating desire that Amol feels throughout the play to leave the constricted scope of the household and experience the larger world actively through his senses is something that most of us share by now. I realised that Daakghar made more sense than ever, now that I have understood the concept of home quarantine not only theoretically, but as the unnerving ground reality.

Known for his deep reverence for nature and profound love for the simplicity of the love, Tagore as a poet has been loved and cherished for his great work in poetry and literature. This compilation of short poems, The Crescent Moon is treasure trove of heart-warming poems that are definitely to read and relished. Reading through the lines that straight come from Tagore's heart is like putting on the lens that he uses to see the world. How else is one suppose to observe such simplicity that moves one's heart? It is the simplicity of the poet's nature and his deep gratitude towards such simple things that make him serenade them with such a delightful choice of words.
