Combining two classic texts by Rabindranath Tagore, this special edition features a new Introduction by eminent scholar Sugata Bose. Nationalism is based on Tagore's lectures, warning the world of the disasters of narrow sectarianism and xenophobia. Home and the World is a classic novel, exploring the ever-relevant themes of nationalism, violent revolution and women's emancipation.
Born in Kolkata, Shri Rabindranath Tagore started writing poetry from a tender age of eight. Later, as an eminent poet, short story writer, essayist, painter, novelist and playwright of worldwide fame, he changed the face of Bengali literature and music. Some of his other works are Malini, The Crescent Moon and Stray Birds.
Well known as a 'polymath,' he was also known as a renaissance poet. He had a progressive mindset and believed that the human mind has unlimited capabilities.
