Malik Ambar Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I've recently started reading Tagore's short stories, and I must admit I'm amazed by this person. Truly, he was way ahead of his times. He was more open-minded than people today are, and his progressive views are reflected in his works. I just finished reading Nastanirh, and what struck me the most about this work was how it seems more to be the work of some contemporary writer, when in fact contemporary writers are confirming and pandering to regressive societal views fit for Tagore's times. [spoiler] The best part about the story was that nobody comes across as the bad guy in the situation and everybody's point of view is given equal weightage. Typical love triangles are resolved in the most absurd fashion, but this one's the only story where the outcome strikes as something that could happen in real life [/spoiler] I'm yet to start his Gitanjali. Anybody else here familiar with his works ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Writhen Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Never heard of him. Might have to look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodooqueen126 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I have something called the Tagore Omnibus. I read it years ago. I can't remember the exact stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seiche Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 My only familiarity is a from a used book search engine. When one searches for used books at http://used.addall.com/ the webpage shows a literary quote as it is running the search and showing the results; many of the quotes are from Tagore.
