First published in 1917, 'Nationalism' is a collection of essays by Rabindranath Tagore, a Bengali polymath who worked as a poet, writer, playwright, composer, philosopher, social reformer, and painter. Tagore composed hundreds of songs that are still sung today as they including the Indian and Bangladeshi national anthems. His prolific literary life has left a legacy of quality novels, essays, poems, and in this volume one of his plays. He earned the distinction of being the first Asian writer to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913.
'Nationalism' highlights Tagore's political and philosophical views on human interpretation and its weakness for power and material hoardings. Packed with erudition and analysis, it expounds on the idea of moral and spiritual growth for human welfare. The lectures-written in lucid, metaphoric, poetic prose-are loaded with a stinging vision of the future and are a critique of his views on spirituality and humanity.
