Produktbeschreibung
Rabindranath Tagore, sometimes referred to as the Bard of Bengal, was a poet, composer, and artist active in the latter half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. His poetry had a profound impact on Bengali literature¿so much so that in 1913 he became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. Today Tagore is recognized for transforming Bengali art, moving it away from its classical forms by embracing the Bengal Renaissance. Though his artistic output spanned many disciplines, his most famous is perhaps Gitanjali, his collection of poems that he himself later translated to English. His impact on Indian and Bengali letters can be exemplified by the fact that two of his compositions were chosen as national anthems¿¿Jana Gana Manä for India, and ¿Amar Shonar Banglä for Bangladesh¿and that the Sri Lankan national anthem was inspired by his work. In these autobiographical sketches Tagore gives us windows into his childhood, his youth, and his blossoming as a writer and as a lyricist. He stresses that this is not an autobiography, but more like a palimpsest of memories: glimmers and shadows that illustrate his artistic development, not a strict record of his life.

Autorenporträt
Rabindranath Tagore bzw. Rabindranath Thakur (bengalisch ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ Rab¿ndran¿th ¿h¿kur, [¿obin¿d¿¿onat¿¿ ¿¿akü] anhören?/i; * 7. Mai 1861 in Kalkutta; ¿ 7. August 1941 ebenda) war ein bengalischer Philosoph, Dichter, Maler, Komponist, Musiker und Brahmo-Samaj-Anhänger in Indien. Tagore erhielt 1913 den Nobelpreis für Literatur und war damit der erste asiatische Nobelpreisträger. Tagore revolutionierte in einer als ¿Bengalische Renaissance¿ bekannten Zeit die bengalische Literatur mit Werken wie Ghare baire (deutsch Das Heim und die Welt) oder Gitanjali und erweiterte die bengalische Kunst mit einer Unzahl von Gedichten, Kurzgeschichten, Briefen, Essays und Bildern. Er war ein engagierter Kultur- und Sozialreformer sowie Universalgelehrter. Die Kunst seiner Heimat modernisierte er, indem er ihre strikte Struktur und klassische Formensprache gezielt angriff. Zwei seiner Lieder sind heute die Nationalhymnen von Bangladesch und Indien: Amar Shonar Bangla und Jana Gana Mana. Tagore wurde als Gurudeb bezeichnet, ein Ehrentitel, der sich auf Guru und Deva bezieht.
