Description
This concluding part of 3-volume series is a collection of different genres of writings.
This volume includes six prose works including the Hibbert Lectures, The Religion of Man, a large number of lectures and addresses on various issues, public statements and messages and conversations with some of the eminent persons of this century - Einstein, Croce, Rolland and Gandhi.
Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) became an international figure when his Gitanjali, an anthology of lyrics, originally written in Bengali and translated into English by the poet himself, was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature - - the first ever to an Asian - - in 1913. Since then he came to be known not only as a great writer but also as an able spokesman of modern India. Till today he is the most widely read Indian writer.
Although his reputation outside the Bengali-speaking area rests largely, if not entirely, on his English writings, no attempt had been made to put them together. Sahitya Akademi has now brought out a complete collection of Tagore's writings in English - - original as well as translations done by him- - in three volumes.
The corpus of Tagore's English writings, large and diverse, forms a substantial part of his total work. The first volume of this 3-part series includes all the poetic works translated by Tagore and the poems he wrote originally in English. The second volume consists of plays and stories translated by him, as well as five prose work. The third volume is a collection of different genres of his writings.
