RABINDRANATH TAGORE OMNIBUS VOL.III

The Rabindranath Tagore
Omnibus III brings together four of Rabindranath Tagore’s most acclaimed
works.Nationalism (1917) contains the lectures given by Tagore in Japan and
the United States between 1916 and 1917. In these essays, he criticises the
model of the nation-state in both the East and West and offers his vision of
a society that includes the finest principles of both, while remaining
independent of them.Mashi and Other Stories (1918) is a collection of
fourteen of his short stories, translated by W.W. Pearson, Prabhat Kumar
Mukhopadhyay, Anath Nath Mitra and E.P. Thompson. It also includes his famous
short-story, ‘The Post Master’, translated by Debendranath Mitter.The Home
and the World (1919) is the English translation of one of his most famous
novels, Ghare-Baire, translated by Surendranath Tagore. At its heart is a
complex love triangle, set against the turbulent Swadeshi movement in
Bengal.The Crescent Moon, or Sishu (1903) is a collection of simple,
beautiful poems written primarily for children, whom Tagore saw as a symbol
of hope and new life. It was deeply appreciated by many of his illustrious
contemporaries, including the Nobel laureates Gide and Jimenez.
