Download or read book The Home and The World written by Rabindranath Tagore and published by editionNEXT.com. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Home and the World (1916), this story was translated from original Bengali novel "Ghore Baire (ঘরে বাইরে)" by Mr. Surendranath Tagore, and the translation was revised by the author. The book illustrates the battle Tagore had with himself, between the ideas of Western culture and revolution against the Western culture. These two ideas are portrayed in two of the main characters, Nikhil, who is rational and opposes violence, and Sandip, who will let nothing stand in his way from reaching his goals. These two opposing ideals are very important in understanding the history of the Bengali region and its contemporary problems. There is much controversy over whether or not Tagore was attempting represent Gandhi in Sandip. Many argue that Tagore would not even venture to personify Gandhi in his characters because Tagore was a large admirer of Gandhi. Also, Gandhi was anti-violence, while Sandip would utilize violence to get what he wanted. The book shows "the clash between new and old, realism and idealism, the means and the end, good and evil" within India and southern Asia.

Download or read book Words to Win written by Tanika Sarkar and published by Zubaan. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first autobiography in Bengali was written by an upper-caste rural housewife called Rashundari Debi (1809–1899). Published when she was 88 years old, Amar Jiban (My Life) is a fascinating first-hand account of life for women in Bengal at that time. Mother to eleven children, Debi reflects on her experiences and her spiritual development across almost an entire century. Words to Win incorporates translations of major sections of this remarkable autobiography. Tanika Sarkar studies the making of an early modern subject – the woman who wants to compose a life of her own, who wishes to present it in the public sphere and eventually accomplishes her goal: for it is her words that win out in the end. Published by Zubaan.

This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 1086 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anyone who wishes to understand what has happened in India in the twentieth century - politically and culturally - must read Nirad C. Chaudhuri. Among her men of letters he is unique; for the fertility of his mind and the polymathic range of his interests, as well as for the lucidity of his prose and his sheer integrity. — Geoffrey Moorhouse (Chaudhuri) has spent a lifetime kicking against the myths and shibboleths held by the majority of his fellow countrymen: he has ridiculed the pacifism of Mahatma Gandhi...he has castigated Indian nationalism for being corrupt, self-seeking, and destructive... (he has) vented his spleen at the stupidity and philistinism of the British in India. His latest (book) is almost a thousand pages long. It testifies to (his) eloquence, wit, and intellectual brilliance that he can go on at such length without once becoming a bore. — Ian Buruma, The New York Review of Books

Download or read book 3 Stories Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay written by Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay and published by BEE Books. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These three stories by Bibhutibhusan deal with differing varieties of loss. Interestingly, the axis which connects these stories also delineates them; in each of these stories, Bibhutibhusan writes from the perspective of an Other. These stories symbolise, among other things, the complexity involved in the feeling of loss itself, and the multitude of coping with these feelings. “There isn't just one way,” Bibhutibhusan seems to be saying, “but don't worry. You are not alone in that crevice of loss and longing. We were there too. And we remember.”
