Synopsis

Fingerprint! Pocket Classics are perfect pocket-sized editions with complete original content. Convenient to carry, priced right and ideal for gifting and collecting, each classic with its vibrant cover and flap jacket offers an ultimate reading experience. A compendium of lectures delivered by Tagore during the First World War and the Swadeshi movement in India, Nationalism emphasizes Tagore’s political and philosophical views on human understanding and its weakness for power and material hoardings. The lectures—written in a lucid, metaphoric, poetic prose—are loaded with a piercing vision of the future and are a critique on his views on spirituality and humanity. The book holds much relevance in today’s environment of violence and intolerance.
