Edited and French letters translated by Chinmoy Guha
Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941) and Romain Rolland (1866–1944) were two of the principal humanists of the twentieth century, who questioned the ideas of frontier and nationalism from their respective socio-political contexts. This volume, a record of the dialogue between Tagore and Rolland, is an attempt to see how they tried to bridge their milieus between the two World Wars.

Description
Dating from 1919 to 1940, these letters and telegrams are being published for the first time in English in their entirety. They manage to capture the essence of Tagore and Rolland’s friendship in their struggle with the conflict between nationalism and human conscience. This volume also presents three important conversations the two engaged in at various points in time, as well as letters by Rathindranath Tagore and others, and lays out the journey of these two writers towards the imaging of a different world outside jingoistic politics. This correspondence presents the fi nest exchange of thought between the East and the West, and scripts the intellectual history of early twentieth century.
