Kabuli Wala And Other Stories Rabindranath Tagore
Original price was: 500.00৳.375.00৳Current price is: 375.00৳.
“Tagore was a poet even as he wrote in prose; and the nuances, metaphors, ironies and, above all, the music of his writings refuse to be translated adequately. Shawkat Hussain’s translation of a selection of Tagore’s short stories is a noteworthy venture in the field. He has brought his deep interest in Tagore together with his academic and professional skill in English to bear on his challenging undertaking. His translation offers a new opening for the non-Bengali readers to the fascinating world of Tagore. The book will be helpful even for those who have read the stories in the original. And the selection itself speaks of a taste which is well worth getting acquainted with.” Serajul Islam Chowdhury, Emeritus Professor of English, University of Dhaka “Like all great writers, Rabindranath Tagore is inexhaustible, and it is fitting that he should continue to attract and challenge translators. Professor Shawkat Hussain has lovingly translated a dozen of his best known stories into eminently readable English – with a sprinkling of words carried over unaltered from the original. Teachers, students and translators, and hopefully the common reader, will enjoy (re)encountering Tagore in English garb.” Kaiser Haq, Professor of English, ULAB
