Original price was: 800.00৳ .600.00৳ Current price is: 600.00৳ .
Rabindranath Tagore worte more than sixty plays both short and full length which could be classified into verse musical allegorical, social, comical plays and dance dramas. While many consider Tagore as the greatest playwright of Bengali literature some think that his dialogues are too heavy with literary layout which fail to communicate to the general audience and structures of some of his plays lack dramatic interest. Unfortunately, compared to his wide acclaim as a poet or lyricist, he did not get the expected recognition as a playwright during his lifetime....
The 150th birth anniversary of the poet-playwright opened an opportunity to revisit him plays. Though most of his plays were produced both in India and Bangladesh, the occasion generated a fresh interest among the theatre workers to present new interpretation of his plays At the same time we thought why not bring out a compilation of his plays in English so that the non-Bengali readers and theatre producers can have an opportunity to know Tagore as a playwright and the chances are some producers find interest in his plays resulting in production of his plays in the world stage. The ideal thing would have been to put together the best known translations of his plays by different people. But because of copywright complications, we decided to go for only those play which were written or translated by Tagore himself.

“Tagore was a poet even as he wrote in prose; and the nuances, metaphors, ironies and, above all, the music of his writings refuse to be translated adequately. Shawkat Hussain’s translation of a selection of Tagore’s short stories is a noteworthy venture in the field. He has brought his deep interest in Tagore together with his academic and professional skill in English to bear on his challenging undertaking. His translation offers a new opening for the non-Bengali readers to the fascinating world of Tagore. The book will be helpful even for those who have read the stories in the original. And the selection itself speaks of a taste which is well worth getting acquainted with.” Serajul Islam Chowdhury, Emeritus Professor of English, University of Dhaka “Like all great writers, Rabindranath Tagore is inexhaustible, and it is fitting that he should continue to attract and challenge translators. Professor Shawkat Hussain has lovingly translated a dozen of his best known stories into eminently readable English – with a sprinkling of words carried over unaltered from the original. Teachers, students and translators, and hopefully the common reader, will enjoy (re)encountering Tagore in English garb.” Kaiser Haq, Professor of English, ULAB
