Atlantic Publishers & Distributors (P) Ltd, 2008. Hardcover. New. Rabindranath Tagoreâs long life (1861-1941) was marked by ceaseless and torrential flow of creativity manifested in the richness and variety of all kinds of literary and artistic forms. He was both a man of action and a seer, a man of royal grandeur and an ascetic. In his philosophy of life the best of the East and that of the West are reconciled into a harmonious whole. His inclusive mind aspired after the Universal Man shining in the glory of creation and joie de vivre. With the passage of time, Tagore, our first Nobel laureate, has only grown in stature and is now reckoned as an increasingly significant and rich personality and a genius for all times. Among Rabindranathâs major fictional works, Gora (1910), the sixth in the chronological order, is remarkable for its superb handling of certain topical social-religious-political controversies while reflecting at the same time some of the authorâs major preoccupations and convictions like the value of truth, freedom, dignity of the individual, which remained with him all along as a driving force behind his personal life as well as his great creative and critical oeuvre. The novel is set against the atmosphere of political excitement and religious debates that characterized the first decades of the last century in Bengal and India. In the words of Asit Bandyopadhyaya: âGora is not only an epoch-making novel of modern Indian literature, it is certainly comparable with any epic novel of Europe in shape and size, in treatment and in execution.â In a similar vein Niharranjan Roy, the eminent historian, eulogized Gora for its âamplitude of ancient epicsâ. Sukumar Sen, the renowned scholar, hailed it as âa Mahabharata of modern Indiaâ, while Tagoreâs biographer Krishna Kripalani praised the novel as âthe epic of India in âtransitionââ, and compared it with Tolstoyâs War and Peace. Tagoreâs consistent, profound and lifelong exploration of the two issuesâreligion and nationalismâwhich necessarily got intersected during those days of newly awakened cultural nationalism, found reflection in the novel. His own idealism and ideals about India, his thoughts, activities, his anguish, his dreams and disillusionment, all work together behind Gora. Significantly, in spite of all this Gora does not end up as merely a social-political treatise or discourse, and remains relevant across space and time for its message of universal humanism. The translators have attempted to strike a fine balance between fidelity and freedom by conveying the spirit of the original and yet conforming to the genius of English language. It will enable those who do not know Bengali or do not have enough proficiency in Bengali to enjoy a novel written by no less a mighty literary figure than Rabindranath Tagore. Printed Pages: 504.
