"Die Nation ist der organisierte Eigennutz eines ganzen Volkes, jener Zug an ihm, der am wenigsten menschlich ist."
Rabindranath Tagores Reden über den Nationalismus sind hundert Jahre alt, aber fast taufrisch. Mit ihnen protestierte Indiens Nobelpreisträger gegen «den Westen» und seine Neigung, dem Rest der Welt das eigene Gesellschafts- und Wirtschaftsmodell als alternativlos zu verkaufen. Hier wird alles verhandelt: das eigensüchtige Konstrukt von hinter ihren Grenzen verschanzten Nationen, ihre Gier, ihr Rassismus gegenüber vermeintlich minderwertigen Völkern, denen man alles nehmen darf. Auch hundert Jahre später lesen sich diese Ansprachen als ein Manifest, mit dem Tagore den Seinen zurief: «Empört Euch!»

Аннотация

"This lyrical drama… is based on the following story from the Mahabharata. In the course of his wanderings, in fulfilment of a vow of penance, Arjuna came to Manipur. There he saw Chitr?ngad?, the beautiful daughter of Chitrav?hana, the king of the country. Smitten with her charms, he asked the king for the hand of his daughter in marriage. Chitrav?hana asked him who he was, and learning that he was Arjuna the Pandara, told him that Prabhanjana, one of his ancestors in the kingly line of Manipur, had long been childless. In order to obtain an heir, he performed severe penances. Pleased with these austerities, the god Shiva gave him this boon, that he and his successors should each have one child. It so happened that the promised child had invariably been a son. He, Chitrav?hana, was the first to have only a daughter Chitr?ngad? to perpetuate the race. He had, therefore, always treated her as a son and had made her his heir. Continuing, the king said: «The one son that will be born to her must be the perpetuator of my race. That son will be the price that I shall demand for this marriage. You can take her, if you like, on this condition.» Arjuna promised and took Chitr?ngad? to wife, and lived in her father's capital for three years. When a son was born to them, he embraced her with affection, and taking leave of her and her father, set out again on his travels."—From the Preface.

Аннотация
Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), the first non-European to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature (1913), was a Bengali poet, novelist, musician, painter and playwright. Tagore modernized Bengali art and literature by rejecting classical forms, and produced strongly poetic and spiritual works. He spoke largely to political and personal topics as he rejected the British Raj and supported independence. His 1916 novel, «The Home and the World», illustrates a multitude of conflicts between tradition and the modern world, religion and nationalism, and the struggle Tagore felt within himself. The novel centers on the Swadeshi movement, and warns characters against the danger of such a movement becoming violent. Sandip, the spirited leader of the movement who strives for freedom at any cost, meets the passive, non-violent Nikhil and his young, unsuspecting wife, Bimala. A love triangle ensues amidst the turmoil of a revolution that may do the country more harm than good.
