Rabindranath Tagore was a Bengali poet, visual artist, playwright, novelist, and composer. Three of his most prominent works are included here: Gitanjali is a cycle of 103 poems about the bliss of living and dying in wonder of the creation, while Stray Birds is a collection of some 300 poems. The poems are short but profound and the imagery lingers. The novel, The Home and the World is set on an estate in 1908; it’s a blend of love story and political intrigue against the background of the conflict in India.

Life has the capacity of great moments and attainment, of lives well lived, fulfilling for ourselves and for those we touch. But for others life is arduous. There is no spark to ignite the curiosity, to explore and achieve a stability and a growth to their lives. Indeed their lives, in their own eyes, become almost meaningless, their sense of themselves subsumed under a myriad of problems, whether real or imagined. Seismic events in a life might crush them; the loss of a loved one for instance. Coping is difficult, support hard to find and isolation abounds.

Poeta, prosatore, drammaturgo e filosofo indiano, dalla prosa elegante e dalla magica poesia, Tagore fu apprezzato in tutto il mondo e ricevette il premio Nobel per la letteratura nel 1913. Nei suoi scritti traspaiono il suo amore per la natura, e la sua aspirazione verso la fratellanza umana, che lo portò a cercare di conciliare e integrare oriente e occidente. Il romanzo La casa e il mondo, scritto nel 1914, esprime appunto quest’aspirazione e il relativo e personale conflitto interno dell’autore al riguardo.

Before a week had passed, the place began to exert a weird fascination upon me. It is difficult to describe or to induce people to believe; but I felt as if the whole house was like a living organism slowly and imperceptibly digesting me by the action of some stupefying gastric juice. Perhaps the process had begun as soon as I set my foot in the house, but I distinctly remember the day on which I first was conscious of it.
