A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The King of the Dark Chamber was the first of Rabindranath Tagore's plays in the allegorical symbolical genre which was a complete novelty in Bengali literature of the time. The spiritual quest, depicted though a soul s adventures in life, makes this book fascinating to the sensitive reader. So far as the present English translation is concerned, its first draft was made by Kshitis Chandra Sen, then a student of Oxford and an ICS aspirant, under the title The King in 1912. This draft was corrected and modified by Tagore on the text itself. Kshitis Chandra Sen translated only two songs of the play, but Tagore discarded both and himself translated the 11 songs that are found in the revised version. A typed copy of this changed version first appeared in the quarterly magazine The Drama published under the new title The King of the Dark Chamber in May, 1914. This current edition restores one of Tagore's finest plays to the public in its orginal form in the way Tagore intended it.

Biographie de l'auteur

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), was a Bengali polymath who reshaped his region's literature and music. Author of Gitanjali and its profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse, he became the first non-European Nobel laureate by earning the 1913 Prize for Literature for that work. He is recognised worldwide as a genius among writers and playwrights.
