His farsighted contribution to world drama can be envisaged from the fluent translation of three of Tagore's major plays, all of which are concerned with universal human quests.\u003cbr\u003eWhile Red Oleander (Rakta-Karvi), a modern classic in its own right, protests against man's ruthless use of organization to exploit human and natural resources. Tapati is a proto--feminist play that attends to the problem of action and injustice. Formless Jewel (Arup Ratan), on the other hand, is about spiritual beauty and the discovery of God.\u003cbr\u003eThis book contains a detailed introduction to Tagore as a playwright, director and theatre theorist; and the reception of his plays and their themes. An extensive bibliography and glossary makes it an invaluable book for all those who are interested in Tagore's work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART 1\u003cbr\u003eINTRODUCTION TO TAGORE'S PLAYS\u003cbr\u003ePreamble\u003cbr\u003eTagore as Dramatist\u003cbr\u003eTagore as Theatrician\u003cbr\u003eTagore's Themes\u003cbr\u003eTagore's Reception in England and America\u003cbr\u003ePrevious English Translations\u003cbr\u003eThe Present Translation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e          PART 2\u003cbr\u003eTHE PLAYS\u003cbr\u003eRED OLEANDER (Rakta-Karavi)\u003cbr\u003eTAPATI (Tapti)\u003cbr\u003eFORMLESS JEWEL (Arup Ratan)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNOTES\u003cbr\u003eTHE PLAYS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e          Appendices\u003cbr\u003eAppendix 1: List of Tagore's Plays and their English Translation\u003cbr\u003eAppendix 2 List of First Performance of Tagore's Major Plays\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGlossary\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Rabindranath Tagore \/ Oxford University Press \/ Paperback","offer_id":68153730826608,"sku":"8359","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/8359.jpg?v=1793913282","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/three-plays","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
