Two Sisters (Dui Bon) translated by Krishna Kripalani was first published in 1943. One of Tagore’s last novels, it is about the eternal conflict that arises when a man does not find a mother figure and a sweetheart in the same person. The poignancy of its theme makes the novel one of Tagore’s finest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst published in 1913, Sahara contains eight essays written during Tagore’s six-month stay in the USA in 1912-13. They stem from Tagore’s endeavour to provide a glimpse of the ancient spirit of India, as revealed in the sacred texts and manifested in everyday life, to the western readers. Letters to a Friend (1928) consists of letters written to C F Andrews (1871-1940), Tagore’s lifelong friend and flowers, during the years 1913-22. The book is not just a collection of letters. Apart from a preface and two essays by Andrews, the letters, divided into several chapters, are preceded by introductory notes making the whole a well-knit coherent narrative.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Parrot’s Training and Other Stories is a collection of four short stories-The Parrot’s Training, The Trial of the Horse, The Old Man’s Ghost and Great News. The first story was translated by Tagore himself, the second by Surendranath Tagore and the last two by Amiya Chakravarty. The King of the Dark Chamber (Raja) was first published in 1914. Translated by Kshitish Chandra Sen and revised by Tagore, the play is an allegory of man’s spiritual adventure. The medieval Indian saint-poet Kabir (1440-1518) attracted Tagore for his mystical depth, inner devotion and universal appeal. Translated by Tagore and first published in London in 1914, Poems of Kabir convey the catholic spirit of universal brotherhood and love for all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo Sisters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSadhana\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLetters to a Friend\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Parrot’s Training and Other Stories\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe King of the Dark Chamber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePoems of Kabir\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Rabindranath Tagore \/ Rupa \/ Paperback","offer_id":40785589665961,"sku":"14896","price":25.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/14896.jpg?v=1625525027","url":"https:\/\/indiaclub.com\/de\/products\/14896-rabindranath-tagore-omnibus-iv","provider":"India Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
