Tagore's Gitanjali: A New Translation with the Bengali Originals and the Tagore Translations
(Bilingual)
Rabindranath Tagore (Tr: Prasenjit Gupta)
Book | Language: English | Category: Poetry | Sub Category: World Literature | Publisher: Parabaas | Publication Year: 2023 | Pages: 300 | ISBN(print): 978-1-946582-40-9 | Price: $ 24.95
This newly translated collection of Rabindranath Tagore’s “Song Offerings” includes the Bengali originals as well as the translations done by Tagore himself. Those poems, whose first publication in 1912 was described as “an event in the history of English poetry and of world poetry,” still continue to dazzle millions worldwide with the reach of their vision, encompassing the earth and the stars, yet firmly grounded in the poet’s relationship with his beloved, his muse, or his lord, as the reader may choose to understand the source of his genius. These fresh versions of the classic poems provide a perfect introduction for the sensitive modern reader to the entire range of Tagore’s incomparable writings.
Review1:
This book “captures each poem in three ways: in the Bengali original, with Rabindranath Tagore’s translation, and Gupta’s own translation. . . . Tagore’s Gitanjali receives a closer inspection and interpretation than Rabindranath himself achieved; adding an extra dimension of understanding that is strengthened by Gupta’s consideration of what is lost and gained in the translation process. . . . A hundred years after Tagore’s achievement, these poems still hold their allure and power. They are strengthened by the dual translations and, more importantly, by the opportunity to cross-examine the translators’ intentions and choices in side-by-side presentations in two languages. . . .
“This in itself represents a feat not typically available to literary readers in general and students of Indian classics in particular. . . . The end result is more than just a reconsideration of a classic collection of poem songs, but a celebration of the different approaches and task of translating them for modern audiences.
“Ideally, Prasenjit Gupta’s new translation of the classic Gitanjali will be considered both a foundation work . . . and a powerful lesson in translation’s efforts and challenges.”
-- Midwest Book Review, June 2023
A Fresh Translation Introduces Contemporary Readers To Tagore’s Gitanjali: Prasenjit Gupta speaks to Sanjana Karthik about the inspiration behind his modern translation of Tagore’s Gitanjali (India Currents, May 7, 2024)
Excerpt:
When you tell me to sing
Pride fills up my heart;
My eyes brim over
As I stare unblinking at your face.
Whatever is hard and harsh in my life
Wants to melt away in honeyed song,
All my penitence and prayer
Wants to fly in birdlike joy.
—From Poem 2, Gitanjali
