吟遊詩人 簡介
羅賓德拉納特·泰戈爾生於1861年 , 1971年去世於印度加爾各答。1901年，泰戈爾在西孟加拉邦的尚蒂尼克坦建立了一所實驗學校，在那裡他試圖融合印度和西方的傳統。尋求融合印度和西方的最佳傳統。經由這所學校，他個人對印度和西方文化交流上擁有非常大的影響力。
他是一位詩人，視覺藝術家，劇作家，小說家，教育家，社會改革家，民族主義者，商務經理和作曲家。他的詩的中心思想是形而上學的，大多都是關於人神一體的結合。有些詩還論及人我交融的哲學。自12世紀以來，這種對天上神仙的愛情擬人化描述在印度的文學作品中相當普遍。泰戈爾用口語式孟加拉文創造了新的白話散文與詩歌，使他的寫作擺脫了古代梵文的形式。.1913年，他是第一個獲得諾貝爾文學獎的非歐洲人。他被認為是20世紀初的『印度之聲』。
泰戈爾曾在1915年被授予騎士稱號，但他在1919年拒絕此稱號，藉此來抗議阿姆利則大屠殺事件。從1912年直到他生命的盡頭，泰戈爾長期離開印度，在歐洲講學和閱讀書籍。在美洲和東亞都尊他為- 印度獨立的代言人。
About the Bard
Rabindranath Tagore was born in 1861 and died in 1971 in Calcutta, India. In 1901 Tagore established an experimental school in West Bengal at Shantiniketan, Abode of Peace, where he sought to blend the best of Indian and Western traditions.Through his school he was highly influential in introducing Indian culture to the West and Western culture to India. He was a poet, visual artist, playwright, novelist, educationist, social reformer, nationalist, business-manager and composer. His poetry is metaphysical: about a union with the supreme being. The poems also speak of the union of two earthly lovers. This type of anthropomorphic depiction of celestial love is quite common in the literature of India since the 12th century. Tagore created new prose and poetry forms using the colloquial language of Bengal, freeing his writing from the ancient forms based on Sanskrit.
Tagore was awarded a knighthood in 1915, which he repudiated in 1919, in protest of the Amritsar Massacre. From 1912 to the end of his life Tagore spent long periods out of India lecturing and reading from his work in Europe, the Americas and East Asia. He is revered as a spokesperson for the cause of Indian independence.
