The years between 1892 and 1900 comprised the most prolific phase of Rabindranath Tagore's literary career, during which he wrote several extraordinary dramatic poems. Included in this collection are Chitrangada, Viday Abhishap, Gandharir Avedan and Karan-Kunti Samvad¬¬, all based on the great Indian epic, the Mahabharata. They reflect Tagore's technical mastery, erudite vision and unique poetic style, exploring the depth of human character and the perennial questions that plague mankind, questions of beauty, love and human relationships. Translated from Bengali by Shailesh Parekh, these dramatic poems retain the melody, mood, meaning and essence of the original.
