出版说明 泰戈尔是我国读者所熟悉的印度伟大诗人,他的作品一向为我国读者所喜爱。本书是他的一部长篇小说,写于一九一六年,作者以印度民族解放运动为背景,反映了当时印度的现实生活。 二十世纪初,英国殖民政府鉴于郾度民族运动莲勃发展,而孟加拉又是当时政治运动的中心,便通过印度总督寇松于九○五年提出分裂孟加拉的孟加拉分割案。孟加拉人民对此普遍感到愤怒,开始进行反分割斗争,接着运动由反分割发展为抵制外货提倡国货的爱国运动,即书中所写的斯瓦德希运动。 不幸的是,领导这次运动的极端派领袖们,却利用落后的宗教迷信来发动广大的印度教群众,他们没有估计到,这样做的结果,会使印度教群众的宗教意识越来越强,而落后的封建 教派主义的势力,定将颜固地反对有利于印度人民的任何改革。何况利用宗教来发动印度教群众,还势必引起穆斯林的不满,加深两大教信徒间的裂痕,引起他们之间的磨搽甚至械斗,对全面发动印度人民群众反而十分有害。 泰戈尔在《家庭与世界》中用两男一女的三角关系作为故事情节,艺术地再现了这次民族运动的领袖们,如何在运动中煽动沙文主义和宗教狂热,导致了印度教徒和穆斯林之间的冲突。

An illuminating collection of inspirational poems by a Nobel Laureate While traveling through one of the poorest regions in India, W. B. Yeats was amazed to discover the women in the tea fields singing the songs and poems of Rabindranath Tagore. This striking scene led the great Irish poet to appreciate the depth of India's far-reaching tradition of poetry and the fame of this one Indian poet. Tagore's work is without equal and plays an eminent role in twentieth century Indian literature. The publication of the English edition of Gitanjali in 1911 earned Rabindranath Tagore the Nobel Prize in literature. A collection of over one hundred inspirational poems, Gitanjali covers the breadth of life's experiences, from the quiet pleasure of observing children at play to a man's struggle with his god. These are poems that transcend time and place.

"Purabi" brings together 52 of Tagores poems and songs. The collection reveals a very different Tagore from the one the West has come to know, bringing to light a passionate poet who celebrated the wonders of this earth instead of just pondering the mysteries of the other world and whose irrepressible love of life was tinged with an acute awareness of its inexorable limits and tragedies. Includes a CD of Tagore songs and recitations in English and Bengali.

Rabindranath Tagore - poet, songwriter, playwright, essayist, Nobel Prize winner and key figure of the Bengal Renaissance - experimented with form in his novels and was bold in his choice of subjects. This omnibus edition will be loved and treasured, and brings together the Nobel Prize winner's most popular novels in translation, including "A Grain of Sand" ("Chokher Bali"), "The Shipwreck" ("Noukadubi"), "Gora", "Quartet" ("Chaturanga"), "Home and the World" ("Ghare Baire"), "Nexus" ("Yogayog"), "Farewell Song" ("Shesher Kabita"), "The Garden" ("Malancha"), and "Four Chapters" ("Char Adhyay").

The Essential Tagore showcases the genius of India's Rabindranath Tagore, the first Asian Nobel Laureate and possibly the most prolific and diverse serious writer the world has ever known. Marking the 150th anniversary of Tagore's birth, this ambitious collection--the largest single volume of his work available in English--attempts to represent his extraordinary achievements in ten genres: poetry, songs, autobiographical works, letters, travel writings, prose, novels, short stories, humorous pieces, and plays. In addition to the newest translations in the modern idiom, it includes a sampling of works originally composed in English, his translations of his own works, three poems omitted from the published version of the English Gitanjali, and examples of his artwork. Tagore's writings are notable for their variety and innovation. His Sonar Tari signaled a distinctive turn toward the symbolic in Bengali poetry. "The Lord of Life," from his collection Chitra, created controversy around his very personal concept of religion. Chokher Bali marked a decisive moment in the history of the Bengali novel because of the way it delved into the minds of men and women. The skits in Vyangakautuk mocked upper-class pretensions. Prose pieces such as "The Problem and the Cure" were lauded by nationalists, who also sang Tagore's patriotic songs. Translations for this volume were contributed by Tagore specialists and writers of international stature, including Amitav Ghosh, Amit Chaudhuri, and Sunetra Gupta.

作者泰戈尔（1861—1941），印度的诗人、作家、艺术家和社会活动家。本书为泰戈尔1916年访问日、美两国时所做的三篇演讲稿的合集，是体现他的政治思想的论著之一。泰戈尔认为，西方民族概念和民族主义的核心是冲突和征服精神，是其推行利己主义的工具；因而他主张发扬东方思想，以近代日本的发展成就为例，力主东方文化要在人类历史发展中作出应有的贡献。

《沉船(插图本)》内容简介：罗宾德罗那特•泰戈尔是印度著名诗人、作家和哲学家；而且在音乐和绘画方面也有一定的成就。他于一八六一年生于孟加拉一婆罗门地主家庭，一八七七年到英国学习法律，但不久弃学归国，经营其父遗产，并开始从事文学和哲学创作活动。他一生共写了五十多部诗集，二十多部剧本，十二部中篇和长篇小说，一百余篇短篇小说及其它著作（包括哲学著作和各种论文集）达四十卷。哲学著作以《生之体现》最为重要，该书比较全面地反映了传统的印度哲学思想。诗集最著名的有《吉檀迦利》、《园丁集》、《新月集》等。泰戈尔曾于一九一三年，主要以其诗集《吉檀迦利》，获得诺贝尔文学奖。戏剧较重要的有《邮局》、《红色夹竹桃》等。他的作品主要用孟加拉文写成，其中大部分由他本人译成英文。 泰戈尔在印度享有极高的声誉。泰戈尔虽自幼接受西方资产阶级教育，但在宗教、哲学、社会思想等方面仍具有浓厚的东方色彩。他十分崇拜古印度诗人迦梨陀娑，对古印度梵文文献相当熟悉。对于西方文明，他一方面赞赏其完成实际工作的能力，同时又颇恶其精神空虚。他显然完全接受性善说观点，视幼小男女天真无邪的心灵至为可爱和可贵，切望人人都保有赤子之心。他主张恬静、淡泊的生活，反对激情；主张人与人和睦相处、彼此相爱相助，树立人类为一整体的观念，反对互相歧视、欺凌和使用暴力。在这样一些思想支配下，他一方面对印度特有的种姓制度等不合理现象深恶痛绝，另一方面又必然反对暴力革命，甚至对印度本身的民族解放斗争也持否定态度，提出了于人民有实惠的社会改革更重于空洞的政治自由一类口号。泰戈尔本人曾长期致力于和平运动。一九○一年他在圣谛尼克坦创办了“和平之家”（一九二一年易名为“国际大学”），招收世界各国学生，学习有关社会改革、国际团结及农村建设等方面课程，所获诺贝尔文学奖金全部用作学校经费，希望借此实现其世界和平理想。 泰戈尔于一九四一年去世。 《沉船》是泰戈尔较早的一部作品，写于一九○二年，先于一九○三年四至六月在孟加拉《班加•达逊日报》上连载发表，至一九○六年始以单行本出版。 《沉船》的整个故事写了纳里纳克夏和卡玛娜这对无比虔诚、无比善良的年轻夫妻的悲欢离合。从这点看，颇似我国的传奇。但《沉船》决非一个简简单单的、意在劝善儆恶的传奇故事。 《沉船》故事中的偶然际遇，在泰戈尔的笔下显然都表示一切为神的安排，或上帝的意旨。他有意以此来宣扬他的宗教思想。但更重要的，我们必须看到，泰戈尔实际通过这个故事全面地表达了上面所说他本人的那种人生观和世界观。 我们看到《沉船》里所描写的世界真可称之为好人世界。这里每一个人都随时全心全意在为别人着想，都不惜自我牺牲以谋求别人的幸福：安那达先生简直完全以女儿所感受的悲欢代替了自己的感受，纳里纳克夏和克西曼卡瑞母子彼此的关怀和体谅达到了全然忘我的地步；汉娜丽妮在和罗梅西真诚相爱之后，尽管出现了重重难以破除的因误会而产生的障碍，却始终对他一往情深、无法忘怀；罗梅西在发现自己意外得来美丽的新娘并非自己的妻子之后，既不肯苟且从事，以假作真，又决不肯不负责任地把她抛开了事，即使自己因而受尽种种误解和折磨亦在所不惜！更不用说还有那位“印西一带出名的‘卡克拉巴蒂大叔’”，他和罗梅西、卡玛娜真可谓萍水相逢，仅是在一条船上偶然相遇，但他以及他的全家马上把解决他们的困难看作了他们全家的头等大事】甚至连这里仅有的一个坏人阿克谢，读者也会觉得他可怜和可厌更多于可恶和可恨。 很显然，泰戈尔在这里宣扬的是一种以道德救世的思想，仿佛依靠人的善心，世间的种种苦难就可以解除了。书中还有作者寄予深情的两个人物：幼小的乌梅希和卡玛娜。乌梅希这个从小无家可归的流浪儿，为了生存下去不可能不染上许多“不道德的”、“自私的”恶习，但当他一旦被人收留，感受到别人给予他的温暖的时候，他善良的天性立即充分显露出来，完全恢复了他的纯朴、可爱的本来面目。天真、憨厚、温柔而美丽的卡玛娜，在她认定罗梅西就是自己的丈夫时，她是那样逆来顺受，甘愿忍受一切痛苦以求得罗梅西的幸福。而当她获悉和她结婚的实际并非罗梅西，却另有其人时，她便决不肯再和他相处下去，而是毅然立即出走，到茫茫人海去寻找自己的丈夫。这无疑是泰戈尔心目中贤妻良母的形象。所有这些当然都未免掺杂过多理想成分。但泰戈尔以其善于刻画青年心灵的妙笔终给我们留下了两个令人难以忘怀的青年形象。

泰戈尔在苏联短短两周的访问，给他留下了怎样的印象呢？他看到了一个完全不同的国家。这让他又惊讶，又欢喜。他看到苏联各阶层人民群众的觉醒和建设新生活的高涨热情，看到了苏联各民族人民和睦相处的新型的民族关系，看到了苏联在惠及广大民众的普及教育中所取得的巨大成就，这些都是他长期以来“一直向往的东西”，他怎能不满怀喜悦、欢欣鼓舞呢？他还十分赞赏苏维埃政权把人民群众从宗教迷信中解放出来，因为“俄国革命者在十年内就把千百万人从愚昧和耻辱的社会底层拯救出来，并且不仅教他们读书识字，而且还教育他们尊重自己的人格”。他在第七封信中写道：“不管别的国家的宗教人士怎样谴责他们，反正我是不会谴责他们的。无神论要比宗教迷信好得多！”旗帜鲜明地站在苏联的一边。

When the movie opens, a woman is recalling the events that molded her perspective on the world. Years ago, her husband, a wealthy Western-educated landowner, challenged tradition by providing her with schooling, and inviting her out of the seclusion in which married women were kept, to the consternation of more conservative relatives. Meeting her husband's visiting friend from college, a leader of an economic rebellion against the British, she takes up his political cause, despite her husbands warnings. As the story progresses, the relationship between the woman and the visitor becomes more than platonic, and the political battles, pitting rich against poor and Hindu against Moslem, turn out not to be quite as simple as she had first thought.
