Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Kankana Banerjee-The Journey of a Khayal Queen’ attempts to bring to the fore the life and contributions of one of India’s most acclaimed and foremost Classical vocalists Vidushi Kankana Banerjee. As a young girl of eleven, Kankana came under the tutelage of Ustad Amir Khan and learned from him for more than fifteen years. She was later trained by Pandit Pratap Narayan of the Mewati gharana. As a performing artist, she was particularly marked by experts for her cuckoo-like voice and soulful renditions that were built on the rudiments of the Indore style of singing and carried the ethos and marrow of her Ustad. Fame and recognition were sure to come, but not easily. Life had been unsparing at times. Her land of promises froze on several occasions, leaving her torn and devastated. But her unflagging determination kept her going. Despite all odds, she could establish herself as a singer of repute; a name to reckon with. Her sundry contributions as a performing artist, a Guru, and a composer would indubitably be of interest to arbiters of music, aesthetes, students and her devotees around the globe. This book not only gives one the opportunity to know Kankana only as a songstress of rare brilliance but also allows us to peep into the artist’s unostentatious life yet worthy of attention, from close proximity.

Download or read book Selected Short Stories written by Rabindranath Tagore and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2005-09-01 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poet, novelist, painter and musician, Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) is the grand master of Bengali culture. Written during the 1890s, the stories in this selection brilliantly recreate vivid images of Bengali life and landscapes in their depiction of peasantry and gentry, casteism, corrupt officialdom and dehumanizing poverty. Yet Tagore is first and foremost India's supreme Romantic poet, and in these stories he can be seen reaching beyond mere documentary realism towards his own profoundly original vision.

Download or read book Collage written by Subhankar Banerjee and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2016-07-07 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting days back to pre-independence and covering a millennia, in one side Collage portrays those unfortunate and truly evil societal barriers as well as the determined, enlightened and young generation of breakers of those barriers. It narrates the war ground called Society where the knowledge and morality confronts prejudices and burden of viciousness. It depicts those agonies and sacrifices the young generation has to bear when it thrusts to break through the mighty and apparently invincible chains of centuries old chauvinisms. In the other side, Collage is all about those treasured episodes that depicts how a child born in a lavish family becomes almost an orphan. How humiliations from those relations he believed interminable turns him taller, stronger and determined to overcome all odds. How life teaches him to feel the anguishes of the underprivileged and encourage a feeble boy to become a sturdy man who dares to stand and face the mighty and egotistical lot in the society. It narrates how dignity, determination and sense of duty makes a man complete. But the question remains. Does that end there?

Download or read book The Best of Tagore written by Rabindranath Tagore and published by Everyman's Library. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 841 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A generous one-volume selection of the best and most important works—poems, songs, stories, essays, novellas, and novels—by the prolific Bard of Bengal, the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. Rabindranath Tagore published his first volume of poetry as a teenager and went on to become a towering figure of Bengali and world literature, celebrated for his innovations in poetry, prose, drama, and music. Tagore was remarkably productive over his long life; his complete works fill many volumes and include sixty collections of verse and more than two thousand songs, two of which have become the national anthems of India and of Bangladesh. His themes were as varied as his forms, including love, politics, humor, appreciation for the beauty of nature, and a profound sympathy for the perspectives of women, children, and the poor. The Best of Tagore offers a representative overview of his work, including his best-known novel, The Home and the World, and his best-known play, Red Oleanders. Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket. Everyman’s Library Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.
