Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Rabindranath Tagore His Life and Work When I promised to do this book, two years ago, I knew I was foolish. My task would have been difficult, had my subject been an English writer. There is no Western author of repute whose pen is not frugal, compared with Rabindranath Tagore´s. Through days filled to overflowing with other work I have been oppressed by the knowledge that, even in my own tongue, Rabindranath was all the while lecturing and writing faster than I could hope to read. I cannot pretend to have read more than a considerable fraction of the enormous output of his fifty years of incessant activity. Much of that output has never got beyond the magazines. My comfort is that perhaps not one of his own countrymen has read the whole of it. Those who have themselves made the effort of compressing a vast theme into a small handbook will be the most lenient to my shortcomings. The poet has enjoyed nine years of world-wide fame, yet this little book is, so far as my knowledge goes, the only essay in English which is in any degree based upon study of the original Bengali. This surprising fact justifies an Englishman´s attempt. I believe the poet is misunderstood in the West - is underpraised, by some overpraised, is wrongly praised. But his own countrymen have been content to grumble. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
