The Cycle of Spring

Meer over het boek

Exploring the themes of nature, leadership, and art, this play unfolds in a vibrant spring setting where the joyous populace contrasts with the King's despair over aging. As he grapples with his image and pressing issues like famine, the court Poet is summoned to revitalize the King's spirit through a symbolic performance. This work, translated by Tagore himself after winning the Nobel Prize, reflects on the interplay between personal and communal renewal, making it a timeless classic of Indian literature.
