A Voz da Mãe Dava Sentido às Estrelas

by Rabindranath Tagore

A presente tradução inclui material diverso de Tagore: porventura aquilo que de mais belo ele escreveu a respeito da infância. Aqui vamos encontrar o seu livro A Lua Crescente (The Crescent Moon) em versão completa, que o autor dedicou ao filho na sequência da morte de sua mãe; do restante conteúdo fazem parte textos extraídos, sempre na sua forma integral, dos livros My Reminiscences e My Childhood Days.

A natureza destes escritos resulta da apurada sensibilidade poética do autor, estimulada pela presença da beleza que envolve o surgimento de qualquer criança no mundo e pelo encantamento que é observar o seu crescimento, onde não falta também o mistério da morte.

About the author

Awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913 "because of his profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse, by which, with consummate skill, he has made his poetic thought, expressed in his own English words, a part of the literature of the West."

Tagore modernised Bengali art by spurning rigid classical forms and resisting linguistic strictures. His novels, stories, songs, dance-dramas, and essays spoke to topics political and personal. Gitanjali (Song Offerings), Gora (Fair-Faced), and Ghare-Baire (The Home and the World) are his best-known works, and his verse, short stories, and novels were acclaimed—or panned—for their lyricism, colloquialism, naturalism, and unnatural contemplation. His compositions were chosen by two nations as national anthems: India's Jana Gana Mana and Bangladesh's Amar Shonar Bangla.
