Produktbeschreibung

Gora is perhaps TagoreA's most determined work which develops against the enormous, vibrant milieu of Bengal during the British rule. It is his fifth novel and is considered as one of his masterpieces.Summary of the BookGora is about a separated society striving hard to visualize an emerging country. It is a classic tale of India's nationalist emerging, appealing the social, cultural, religious and political life of the nineteenth century urban middle-class in Bengal. The story is viewed through the eyes of a young man who is an orthodox Hindu, who expresses himself in contradiction of the British imperialist culture. He gradually finds himself approaching his pro-home rule individuality through the prism of systematized religion. Gora interrogates the doctrines and conjectures integral in nationalist thought, which not many books have dared to. The novel is perhaps an expression of TagoreA's own evolution from Hindu revivalism to a whole new thought of universal brotherhood, from nationalism to a world without borders and boundaries, from Hinduism to the religion of humanity, one mankind. Gora was translated into English by W.W. Pearson in the year 1924.About Rabindranath TagoreRabindranath Tagore was a Bengali poet and novelist. He was born in the year 1861 in Calcutta.

Autorenporträt

Indian polymath Rabindranath Tagore was a well-known poet, philosopher, musician, and artist who had a significant impact on changing the country's intellectual and cultural landscape in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In Calcutta (now Kolkata), Tagore was born into a well-to-do Bengali family and started writing poems at a young age. He was the first non-European laureate to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913 for his most well-known work, "Gitanjali" (Song Offerings). In addition to being a brilliant poet, Tagore was a well-known participant in the Indian Renaissance. In Santiniketan, he established Visva-Bharati University, putting a strong emphasis on a holistic education that combined the arts, culture, and environment. Poems, plays, essays, and short tales are among Tagore's literary works, which showcase his profound understanding of spirituality, human nature, and the nexus of tradition and modernity. He wrote both the music and the words to "Jana Gana Mana," which is India's national song. His influence affected India's political and cultural domains in addition to literature. As a fervent supporter of internationalism and humanism, Tagore's achievements have created a lasting legacy that has elevated him to a respected status both in India and around the world.
