Excerpt from Glimpses of Bengal: Selected From the Letters of Sir Rabindranath Tagore, 1885 to 1895:It so happened that selected extracts from a large number of such letters found their way back to me years after they had been written. It had been rightly conjectured that they would delight me by bringing to mind the memory of days when, under the shelter of obscurity, I enjoyed the greatest freedom my life has ever known.
Rabindranath Tagore Livres
Ce lauréat du prix Nobel de littérature est célébré pour ses vers profondément sensibles, frais et beaux, qu'il a tissés avec une habileté consommée dans le tissu de la littérature occidentale. Tagore a modernisé l'art bengali en se détournant des formes classiques rigides et en résistant aux contraintes linguistiques. Ses romans, nouvelles, chansons, drames de danse et essais ont exploré des thèmes à la fois politiques et personnels, remarqués pour leur lyrisme, leur colloquialisme, leur naturalisme et leurs contemplations peu conventionnelles. Ses compositions furent si résonnantes que deux nations choisirent ses œuvres comme hymnes nationaux, un témoignage de son profond impact artistique et culturel.

The sixteen short stories collected here were written between 1891 and 1917 by the Bengali poet, writer, painter, musician and mystic, Sir Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941). Throughout these stories, Tagore's main interest is people and the kaleidoscope of human emotions, as men and women struggle with the restrictions and prohibitions of contemporary Hindu society.
The Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913 primarily for Gitanjali, parts of which he had rendered into the lucid, grave English prose of prayer. This title emulates the grandeur and lightness of movement of these wonderful song-poems. schovat popis

"Il canto della vita" è un'antologia che raccoglie i versi più significativi di Tagore composti sui temi a lui più cari: la vita, la morte, Dio, il dolore, la gioia. Il poeta celebra soprattutto l'amore, con sensibilità tutta orientale: una sintesi di amante e amato, vicina a Dio o identificabile con Dio stesso, un sentimento tormentoso e insieme vitale, che muove energie che investono la realtà intera e il cosmo. Come ha scritto W.B. Yeats, Tagore, al pari della civiltà indiana, ha realizzato la sua pienezza nello scoprire l'anima e nell'abbandonarsi alla sua spontaneità.
Renowned for reshaping Bengali literature and music, this influential figure was a poet, writer, composer, philosopher, and painter. His work, particularly the acclaimed Gitanjali, features deeply sensitive and beautiful verse, earning him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913 as the first non-European laureate. While his poetic songs are celebrated for their spiritual depth, his elegant prose and magical poetry remain lesser-known beyond Bengal. Often called "the Bard of Bengal," he played a pivotal role in the emergence of Contextual Modernism in Indian art.
